Yeah - I'll just make some coroplast discs and zip tie them on I think.

Note the gearing change (probably was editing my post when you replied)? It's more than I thought it would be. Worth doing a speed vs. MPG test, I think.

Ride height is up by just over an inch, so I'm also motivated to extend the stock air dam down a couple of inches (coro again).
