Any idea on how much weight removing the trunk well roughly saved?

Not to but I think they're right about the holes up front, seems like the top ones might actually have a slight vacuum pulled on them due to air crossing at almost a perpendicular angle.

Sorry, I just went and looked at my car. I guess I did put that black accordian plastic thing back on to cover the rubber fuel tubes.

Uh oh.

Hmm, I still might do it just for easier access to the shocks.

Splitter is a custom built piece. Bought a couple of pieces of aluminum, cut, weld, paint. It seems to work very well.

Unfortunately I will not be making more (I know that's the next question). Way too many hours in it to make them for anything reasonable.

Removing the trunk well also provides much better access to everything under the rear of the car. It might have save 5-10 lbs. I can also put an exhaust across the back end now if I need to.
