Heres my fatal MS Paint attempt (I need to learn photoshop)

How are you at fiberglass? A 5 flush mounted spring loaded zeus fastener setup per skirt to make the skirts easily removable with a flathead screw driver..

Id like to see someone delete the headlights completely and run a retrofitted HID projector in a small headlight housing (Taurus, Mercedes or Neon possibly) the rounded angeled style of housing..
Shaving off and streamlining some of the area after the rear passangers compartment..

redline water wetter (if you deside to block out most frontal airflow)
under airdam scoop for radiator to keep temps down..

lightweight tires www.tirerack.com shows tire weights for refference.
narrow skinny lightweight wheels, 13x5" Rota Slipstream wheels (under 10 pounds each and their inexpensive)
15x6.5's weigh 11.5lbs and I have the 16x7's and they weigh 13.9lbs each and i paid 450 out the door for em..

lowering a must.. Eibach makes "sport springs" that dont kill the ride, and bring ya down a bit..

I call it "The Areoscort" (Areodynamic Escort)
Ill mess with it more later..
