coroplast

Smallie - sorry I missed your earlier question: I used coroplast to make the modifications in the aero Mirage test thread.


Also: bummer about your back window! I'm lucky I haven't had to replace any car glass for a long time. (Did I just jinx myself?)

There's a fleet mechanic on the Mirage forum whose company has owned both the Mirage and Spark as delivery vehicles. He's not as likely to say nice things about the Spark. In fact he was so impressed with the Mirage, he bought a used CVT one as his personal vehicle. Take that for what it's worth.
