A couple of update pictures.

This is my quick release vac canister. I have a vac gauge hooked up so I can monitor vac. while braking. I just used standard m-style 1/4" NPT air hose fittings so I can remove the can when I'm working on the car. Sounds cool when you release it. Pshhhhaaaaaa



Update picture of the airdam with the 1+1/2" aluminum trim to match the wheel skirts. Coast down has improved quite a bit although that's a subjective observation.



I would like to add a rubber skirt below the trim to lower the dam but allow things like loading on to the ferry at low tide. anyone know where to get 1/8" x 3" rubber strip?
