I bet you got about 100 mpg on the drive to work this AM.

Actually, like BabyDiesel, I was inspired by your project: I went and found the edging air dam I had installed on the 2007 Civic (sold). I'll stick it on the Firefly soon. Easier than fabricating a durable version of the big a$$ cardboard airdam I tested on the car way back when...

That giant airdam worked nicely (coastdown tested). But I never made a permanent version.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.
