This is temporary. CAD = cardboard-aided design. I had skirts before that were smaller. I plan to use the same or similar mounting strategy, see this post earlier in this thread. That mounting method has held without incident for a whole year at least.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
