That's my old Civic! Nothing was properly tested, but MPG kept going up. I have no idea if it was the mods or my driving! I had multiple mounting holes for the license plate. As pictured was good in most conditions at moderate speeds. I had to open it up a lot more at highway speeds. It was fully closed in the winter.

Throttle stop testing can be used to test changes in drag.
