Description
The E is basically stock on the top side, but swaddled with coroplast on the underside. I chose the photo above because it shows the air dam and front undertray well. Anyway, it's a great car, but I'd love to get a little better highway mileage out of it.
2wd
5-speed MT
OEM Goodyear Wrangler HP tires at 38 psi have been replaced by BFG Long Trails at 38 psi
Modifications
Upper grille block
Air dam (March 2007)
Belly pan, rear undertray, and rear fender liners (Late July 2007)
Planned Modifications
Maybe a lower grille block next winter.
Maybe some air deflectors under the air dam to divert a little more air away from the front tires.
Maybe some small VGs on the rear view mirrors a la the Ridgeline.
No others planned (yet!)
