Hello There.

So I've been lurking for years, even when I still drove a 2000 Honda Insight w/ 5 speed manual. I currently drive the single least aerodynamic vehicle, an '01 Jeep Wrangler Sport (stock) and I plan to buy another gen 1 Insight as my commuter car so my Jeep can be used for light towing and such.

I've kept an eye out for anyone trying to modify whatever generation of Sentra (2008 model, 2.0L w/ CVT) and would love some ideas from you guys as I'm new to working on aerodynamics and really wanna make this car a hyper-miler as well as learn (It's my partner's car and she 100% loves the idea of me eco modding it for her.)

Her car has quite a bit of 'battle damage' so it's NP to do DIY on it, since that'd make it look far better anyway haha

I am actually working on increasing the MPG of my Jeep, and might throw a MPGuino in it sometime in the future, but right now, getting all the maintenance previous owners neglected and trying to find ways to shave some weight off the car.

So far, deleted the rear seat and the 'milk jugs' on the ends of bumpers and I plan to go with a hard top eventually.

Let me know if you'd like to know about me, but I'm not really all that interesting as the cars and eco mod ideas are lol

Welcome.

Which ends or corners have the battle damage? Could you cover it with a boat tail?

Remember the military livery thread?

Here's a few pictures from late last year/ early this year after the last accident. This car has damage all over the exterior, so it's a perfect sh*t-box for some real DIY ecomodding fun.

The way hte right headlight undrlaps the hood is not cromulent.

Given the glancing blow, it looks like you could remove the bumper and fender, tie off the radiator bulkhead to a tree or carport post, turn the wheels to full right lock and back up until it looks right.
