Great work Donkey CRX! I love the exterior photos. It looks slippery. Does your back window pick up much dust since you added the Kammback and diffuser? My wife's Audi A3 diesel wagon has the factory Kamm style lip at the back window but no diffuser. It sucks up dust, even on paved roads, onto the back window. The AeroCivic doesn't collect dust or bugs or snow (or even deer) but it has a sloped nose and full boattail. How does your back window do in dust, rain or snow?
