I used some aluminum coils stock to make some aerodynamic modifications to my Tercel today. I made a frame to support the wheel skirts out of old floor threshold aluminum. The numbers on my gauge seem to be up a bit after test driving. I would have liked to go even lower with the skirts but I would have had to really bow out the frame to go around the tire if I had gone lower. So I added a little piece in front of the tire to smooth it out a bit. I just screwed the sheeting into the car body. It was easy and I kinda like the “mad max look.
