In one view it seems to curve in way too radically, then in another view, it seem acceptable.
Any photographs which depict a shape just like a 'blueprint' are what see need to be able to 'see' exactly what we're looking at.

Otherwise, if she can stand up to forces she'll encounter at road speeds, she's ready for testing!

Some tufts and a GoPro underneath would be great. If the yarn remains 'nailed' straight back, you're golden.
I drive around the neighborhood with it on. Even hit a top speed of 45 mph. Was surprised the gorilla tape held it on so well

The drive felt “ smoother” and quieter. Mostly quieter though. No idea why that was.

It was harder to “ feel” if the car was slipperier with lower drag or not. My rear wheel spats can definitely be “ felt” as an improvement. If anything the rear diffuser maybe made the car feel stickier and less slipper. I feel like there was a little more resistance. But it’s also harder to tell at average speeds of 25-30 mph. But like I also said, the car felt more stable/smoother and quieter. So I don’t know what that conflicting info means

Final mock up would obviously be drilled into place and be hard abs plastic, with smoother edges
