Can you post the link to your main photobucket page (index page)? Might be able to help you post the bigger images.
Looks like you need smooth wheel covers  |

Impressive mileage numbers.
Thr underbody aerodynamics account for up to 1/3 of the drag of your typical car.The airdam you mention would redirect some of the airflow from the underbody to the upper body at a drag penalty of its own.Take a look at this article for a no drag alternative. http://http://autospeed.com/cms/titl...6/article.html |

Could not load... Server not found... I am working on this airdam in my head though haha.... Thinking bracketed with 18 gauge curved to fit... Don't reall want corpolast on the front , would be nice for the weight though...

That cam back looks great. The black and blue scheme goes really good together.
The bigger pictures work much better, thanks for posting those!

I will be doing the front airdam next... Thinking I need about 4" to make it below the exhaust and a-arms... I don want to go to big on it because it will cause more drag than it will help reduce.... What about making the airdam at a slight angle?? Anyone tested that? I wish I was as good as y'all at taking pics... I will work on some pictures because it seems you guys like them...

Aha - I thought you were posting thumbnails. But those ARE the largest images in your album.
