Lower blocks are easy to make invisible if you paint them black. I'll take some pictures of mine current ones later.

For what it's worth, I'm struggling to get 60mpg on this tank due to short trips and brutal weather.

I'm vaguely curious about a full IMA removal. I know you'd lose auto-stop, but with Mudder's bypass circuit you can replace the DC-DC with a smaller and more efficient Meanwell unit and almost entirely reclaim the hatch space, close to doubling your storage in the back. Do you plan to replace the battery, perhaps with something lithium, or drive it as-is?
