Materials used.
1 1/2 pieces of coroplast ($17)
1" tornilo screws (1box $4)
1" diameter washers (on hand)
20' of flooring metal ( had it on hand)
10' of L shaped aluminum track (had it on hand)
Card board used to pattern (leftover from a recent tub install)
Utility knife (I use this for work so no cost to me here)
Time spent= 8 hours
Total money invested= $21.00
Miles to recoup investment= ?

Upon taking it out for its first test drive it was awesome how little throttle it needed to maintain 60+ mph. It feels similar to the throttle I was using at 57 before just as a guess. Hopefully this will put me on my way to reaching that 60+mpg tank that has so narrowly eluded me thus far.

I like the sound of almost no throttle to keep it at 60 mph :)

Sweet!

Me too!

Nice work, but the middle of it looks a bit loose. THe festiva isn't very aerodynamic to begin with, but the low throttle at 60mph is encouraging. Keep up the good work.

looks good, nice job. More Pics needed! is that looking at the front?

Its not lose, it just has a few things that it is being forced out by slightly. I felt it would be more advantageous to allow it to push out (less than an inch and secure) rather than make cutouts to allow for pure conformity. I guess time will tell ;)

I can probably do some more pics for ya. And yes that shot is from the front.

Updated with more pics :)

more pics
 

Since you asked nicely ;)

I see a cutout for the exhaust pipe, but how close does it come to the muffler itself?
