Here’s some ideas:



Not to scale or fully fleshed out, just ideas. I want to try and use a sort of Kamm tail extension on the rear instead of a boat tail. I’m hoping a slight extension with a sharp separation edge will make an impact on FE. Would suck if a cyclist rear-ended me, lol.

I’ll be building custom mirrors or modifying 80’s Chevette mirrors. Removing them makes sense, but I prefer to have them.

I’m considering fender-mounted mirrors. Used on many vintage cars, as well as some modern Rocket Bunny-esque builds. How come that’s not a common mod? You’re taking the mirror away from the A pillar, which is an important area for airflow. Beyond fender-mounts, mirrors like the RX7 FD have seem to be a good design.

Other question: Julian Edgar talks about a design of underbody panel that can use an adjustable dump for the engine bay’s air. He says that with the dump shut, air can fill the engine bay and created a pressurized pocket that would act as a grille block. Has this been done? I’d love to know.
