I happened to find a body kit on Craigslist for the Escort ZX2

escort zx2 ground effects kit

I originally wanted just the side skirts, but the more I have looked at the kit and talked it over with members on teamZX2.com, the more it has grown on me. But since one of my goals is sub-0.20 Cd, I do not want to do anything that will negatively affect me.

So how will this kit affect the aero? I would think it would increase the frontal area and increase downforce, but I don't want to jump to conclusions yet. That's why I'm coming to the experts
