I am in the process of sourcing turbo exhaust manifold for it at the moment - again it's a tricky item to find as they weren't sold with that option here in NZ or in Japan. Have got a friend on the lookout in Aussie, where they were plentiful (albeit in a 4wd chassis). Shipping will be the kicker!

i think it could be better aerodynamically when you lengthen it a the sides to warp around the bumper all the way to the wheels...

Yeah, I thought about that at the time - but only had enough signage left over to do one side
I'll see how this goes, and can always add to it later. Ideally I need to win the coroplast lottery and make an undertray for the car, flowing back from the lower edge of the air dam. After a few tanks I'll try hacking out the middle as you say, and see if I can see a noticeable difference.

Kooky idea, but how much drag do you think that hood ornament maybe causing?

Quite a bit I imagine. I look at it often when driving and think about it's removal, and then think better of it. It's mounted with an elaborate bracket that pierces all the way through the bonnet in multiple places, and kept upright by a piece of steel cable and a meaty spring.
Besides, if I took it off, where would I tie my wool tufts to for "draft testing"?
