THe material we use is just too flimsy NOT to vibrate.

see post #37 to see the metal bar I installed. |
Before embarking on my project, I read both your entire skirt thread, and MetroMPG's, and as a result, I've used a "carpet bar" on both sides as a reinforcement... I should have gotten a pic before I fixed the skirt... For now, I just taped the trailing edge of the skirt firmly to the bumper cover with plastic strapping tape... I have since bought more nylon rivets, so another solution is in development...

It's a stiff as 5/8" plywood. Follow the horizontal cut line for the bumper on top and box out the bottom like on that Miata. aerohead's example terminates in an angled skeg. That could in turn be an outer fence on a diffuser.

I haven't found any PolyMetal or AlumaCorr anywhere near me locally; in fact, I haven't even found full sheets of coroplast yet... Not many sign shops here in WV, given that I don't live near a major metropolitan area... However, on Wednesday, I'll be in Charleston most of the day; maybe I'll drive around and find something...
