Decklid spoiler progress

Practicing with the jigsaw tonight after dinner, I made a quick replacement for my upper grillblock. The old one is black plastic, and the new one is white AlumaCore (3mm), which is two thin sheets of aluminium around a layer of thermoplastic. Never worked with AlumaCore before. Have never used a jigsaw before. The tight curves were too tight. Fortunately when I do the rear decklid spoiler there will be no curves as tight as this. Anyway, a hacksaw and a metal file and boxcutter cleaned it all up nicely.

Whaddaya think?

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.
