2013 Cruze full moon wheel covers :D

Hi all here are my full moon wheel covers for my cruze that I put on today. I cannot wait to actually get some data from driving with these on. I will post more as I get the results.

Looks good. How did you make them? And do you have any other plans?

I used coroplast and clear zip ties to go around the spokes on the aluminum rims. I'm currently trying to find the active air dam from an eco-cruze, and also plan on using some of the extra coroplast to make a much lower front air dam. An under-tray for the entire length of the car is also in the works. Ill post more pictures as I get each mod done. Thanks all.

If you're doing an undertray, you don't really benefit from an air dam.

But if you make an airdam anyways, it only needs to be as low as the lowest part of your under body.

If the air dam is longer/lower at the sides so that the air is diverted around the tires, is that better? Could that help even with a belly pan?

Also, if you do make a coroplast air dam, see if you can reinforce it somehow. I would think a single layer of coroplast hanging down would bend over with much speed

You could put additional coroplast behind it, angle aluminum, or glue metal rods into the flutes, use wood, or whatever you want.

That's exactly what i did for the wheel covers for my old del sol.

one suggestion, i'd cut out a smaller "inner" circle so that you have access to the lug nuts
