I am reminded of basjoos saying that he saw/felt a difference when he put his nose on the Aerocivic. You can't tell until you try. Good work.
Basjoos also didn't add a square foot or more of frontal area (appx. a 5% increase) with his front end. I would expect all gains from the extended bumper to be lost in the widebody kit here. Check out the Aerocivic thread; the moving wheel skirts are more work, but there's no denying their effectiveness. You've done a lot of work; I just hope you see some gains from it! Work smart, not hard.
