It also works in the back receiver thanks to an extension cord.

MPG is definitely up after doing the work on the brakes. I have been driving without the kamm shell because I removed it to fix the leading edges that did not turn out well. I need to either find time for that or slap it back on for now.
I suggest also a wing for the rear end on the top my hybrid compared to the normal version has a slighty bigger wing on the rear of the SUV


also check the angle of it slightly more like 80 degrees instead of 90 degrees



I suggest an Air dam as well

Location is a must see the hybrid model vs non hybrid model..


the coefficient drag is 0.34 compared to 0.38(0.379)


the ride height is lower then the normal one I have not experienced any clearance issues I do pay attention to make sure i don't hit garbage on the road
