I will try to remember to check my NAIAS images from this year and last year. I have started taking underbody images at the show, very few actually had underbodies connecting to their very elaborate diffusers.

Cleveland Auto Show is Saturday, hopefully I will remember then, and take some images. I am about 15,000 images behind in processing, so it will be a while to find if they are not readily available lol.

Thumbs up Progress

I made some progress this week. I had about 225 miles on this tank when I extended the front air dam. I did change up my driving habits a little bit as well.
I've attached some pictures of it. ~4.5" ground clearance and this tank netted 21.68 mpg with 322 miles total on the tank; highest it's ever been. Movin' on up!

Got my rain gutter side skirts plasti-dipped and put on the car tonight. 220 miles on this tank so probably won't notice any mileage difference until the next tank. I did go for a drive and it did seem to coast better, but I could just be wanting it to be better. Next couple of fill ups will tell.
