Oh, don't worry. No plans to alter the basic design at this point. It would be something I'd come back to in the future when I redesign the front bumper. Waaaay off in the future.

No MPG gains quantified yet. I'm (foolishly?) forging ahead on this based solely on the tuft testing and things I've read. I haven't even driven the Flea since I did the tuft testing a couple of weeks ago.

Boat tail is coming, but not before we take a break for ... winter! Fiberglass & bondo don't cure well in winter. Fingers don't work well either.
