Hi,

Sorry, no pictures (yet), but I've made two further tweaks:

I've removed the two front mudflaps, that were behind the front wheels (like someone had suggested a long time ago).

I've cut off the trailing piece of the Coroplast that was behind the rear tires (that was left after I cut them up and around the wheels), since it could have been catching the air and causing more drag.

These changes seem to have helped a little bit, though it is hard to tell an absolute quantity because my FE has been dropping in the cooler weather that we have been getting lately. This morning for example, it was in the upper 40's when I left for work.
