Subaru STI project: high speed low drag

How's it going everyone ? this is my first post on these forums!
So a little bit about my car and whats done to it as well as what is to come.
Looking to get better gas mileage on my STI hatchback.
Right now I've installed underbody aero panels along the under side of the car which basically run down the sides of the underbody hugging the exhaust.
Also I have a rear diffuser that I plan to dismantle and remake the center portion to reach all the way up to my rear diff where the underbody panels end to make the whole back end flat and smooth as it transitions into the fins of the diffuser.
Also I have a front lip for my car i have not yet installed but will be doing soon along with making a front splitter to reach all the way back to where the underbody panels start on the front side.

Eventually ill be getting more aerodynamic side mirrors because i refuse to do some sort of janky contraption to further decrease drag.

with that being said I'm happy to have found this forum and look forward to hearing back anything constructive or possible ideas to decrease drag and get a few mpg's
going to keep this thread as my project thread to keep track of things done.
