Like the little mini-kamm. A lot of guys here have done mini-kamms and gotten good results.
By no mods I meant nothing extreme
Front airdam and mini-kamm are both "mandatory", I like the look of them. At first I thought the mini-kamm looks good but then I noticed the shape and thought it's also a useful mod.

Yes, looks like it. Now I understand why when I bought the car and brought it home (600 high-way miles) I was cruising between 2000 and 2200 rpm. And I got my best mileage to date... a bit under 30mpg.

Back on topic: I got most of the airdam done, just need to finish up the mounting and add a small downward lip. I could not bend the plastic sheeting so the airdam covers only half of the tire width
Pictures later
