Belly pan is a good addition. I made one out of abs plastic, but it was too flexible and started flapping at 60+ mph. It'll go back on "soon" when I figure out how to reinforce it.

Scangauge. I have mine kind of wedged between the steering column and gauges, with a little velcro to keep it from sliding.

Is it manual or automatic? Either way, it's not the most aerodynamic box. Wheel covers, boattailing, and/or just plain slowing down will all help. I do the last one mostly. I knew going in that it's not the best highway car, but my driving rarely takes me to high speed routes so that's ok.
