The underside where you created a gigantic cavity with your muffler delete would change the aerodynamics of the car far more. I had a muffler delete as well, I drove harder because the car sounded good. Again can't tell if that was the only thing. I was talking to a guy who had the driveway labs rear diffuser and he said that he was surprised the MPG claims for that actually held up. Anecdotal but relates to your question.

Kudos on this DIY. Someday I'll use it for myself when I get mine.

As you can see it's not particularly flashy. And you can see the size in relation to the rest of the part in other photos.

I did see it and I'm looking into how stupid it is to do a targa top conversion.

Just to throw it out there, if its just summer sun, 3M crystalline tint, 40% is gonna block out majority of heat.
For the look department, this is cool! |

Sorry for bumping this thread but I'm only commenting so I can easily locate it when I do my TRD louver install. My bad.

Here's another bump for ya. I just stumbled upon this thread and now I want some louvers badly. I'm sure I'll be using this same thread if I do get them. Hard to swallow the price for these, though.
