wow, that's a lot to chew. goes to show: install smooth wheel covers, full belly-pan, front dam, rear diffusor, delete mirrors, etc.... and if not done right, increase drag. do one or two right, 2-3 wrong and never see any benefit. and never be able to figure out why.
there should be some way to test, (not down a hill for rolling distance) at simulated freeway speed, to weed out bad mods. homemade smoke tunnel? can't imagine cost being worthwhile.
