I made a quick CAD flat spoiler to take with me to El Mirage tomorrow. I'll be able to film the dust flowing in the wake, take photographs of how the dust settles on the back of the car, and do coast-down testing.

28 neodymium magnets hold it in place and make it easily removable. Blue painters tape will be used for "sealing" gaps and smoothing transitions and holding it in place during tests.

These photos tell the story, but for some reason EM is now flipping some of my photos 180 degrees upside down. That is really disappointing. I was gonna narrate them a bit but they look ridiculous. Lemme know if u have any questions and I'll try to describe. Bummer.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
