I got lots of stuff done to the car at Insight Fest 2016. It's too bad none of y'all made it.

New rear shocks and stiffer springs. I don't think this is an eco mod.

But this might be. My car was missing the lower grill cover, I got one for free at Insight Fest.

It's hard to see what I did here, but this panel was sagging. While I had it on the lift I used some stainless steel wire (barely visible as a small dark line to the left of the cut-out for the shocks) tied around the exhaust to pull the panel up a bit.

Here's the car on the lift. You can see my front panel and the custom aluminum panel up there. My main rear panel was removed at this time, but my two smaller rear panels are visible.
