Replacing the tires with something like Bridgestone Ecopias or Michelin Energy Savers would probably also help, of course once the current tires wear out.
I am going to do grille blocks and an air dam for sure. I'm pretty sure I can get away with a small kammback too, though nothing too extreme. Wheel skirts are probably out though, I might play with spats/ducting to try and help a little bit there.
