What we need for these wheel fairings is something tough that can survive impact with a concrete curb. Maybe inflatable? How about a section of inner tube, with enough internal pressure to keep its shape against the wind, but soft enough to survive a curb.

I refer to the wheel fairings like on Prius. We need to make them so they can hit a curb and not break.

ok, ******* work tonight: my hands are destroyed, and I am dirty as a pig but I am happy...

I finished to install total rear extractor, and the I have find how to make a coverage in the transversal axis of rear ARM

He is not a good job because of screws with view, and because the extractor is in two parts of differents materials and small but present difference of geometry.
In future, I will go to make an rear extractor in only one piece, and I will go to apply vertical fins at the ends of him.

start





above, the full view of new work, and below, you can see the coverage of rear arm...for this I am very happy because I am thinking lot time



The central cover is anchored only at the gas tank covers , because the rear arm on the road can muve it up and down, pull down the central cover.
Now, the air flow can to muve with minimum turbulence.





front view of work



still



ended with gray paint

Yesterday I bought the coroplast (2.5x1000x2000mm) for to cover the frame, next day, if I am not problems with job or other, I will go to apply on the car.

Only question: how I cam to anchor he?

thanks for your attention
