The spoiler is worth 0.01cd and underbody another 0.01cd

A member on this forum claimed 10-15% higher gas mileage with the paneling. She had a lot of methodical data and approached the experiment properly. she actually did a nice job.

ill never be completely happy with any car. That's what makes me a true enthusiast. I'm always trying to change everything to match me perfectly. I do pretty well, but it's something I struggle with. You should see my other cars. But I won't settle at "I bought the wrong car".

Why? Because I'm SO close to perfection with this thing. It's going to be my daily driver. With a little help from this forum, it'll be a great one for many years to come.
