Spotted: fully streamlined/aeromodded ~2005 Honda Civic sedan (Austin, TX)
Jakins just posted this excellent find...
Looks like a ~2005 Civic with the Full Meal Deal aeromod package:
- smoothed front bumper with reduced cooling inlet area
- upper grille block (removable?)
- deeper than stock air dam
- front/rear smooth wheel covers
- wipers covered
- exterior mirror delete
- rocker/side skirts
- rear wheel skirts
- rear wheel boat-tailing
- Kammback
Very Mad Max, too!

Kammback, also more effective than those silly sun shade foils.

This picture confuses me. A fully aeromodded Civic is parked facing the curb?
You know you're a hypermiler when...

Parking -- he probably just concluded a .5 kilometer engine-off coast into the parking spot. He'll push it backwards out of the parking spot before he starts the engine.  |
