So far, I haven't had any problems with law enforcement. The main other project I want to do is to add a manually adjusted air intake to the nosepiece/grill block so I can tailor the amount of cooling air needed to the amount of cooling actually required. Cooling isn't a problem this time of year, but in the summer, it would be nice to be able to close off the air intake when driving at night or other times when the temps are low.
The second windshield added about 4mph to my terminal velocity on the "calibrated" downhills on my drive. I drove through some light rain and didn't even notice it on the vinyl other than the occasional drop running back along the vinyl. Most of th rain (and bugs) follows the smooth airflow over the vehicle. And best of all, no evidence of the "A" pillar vortex based on the behavior of the water droplets on the front side windows.
Phil Knox looked at the photos of my car and estimated the Cd to be around 0.16.
It is pretty amazing. I think you may be at the point where further aero improvements will require smoothing the fairings to reduce the parasitic surface friction.

Hello from Colorado. I have been parked in a snowdrift for the best part of the last month. Hope you can do better than that. Anxiously awaiting your test results. I have a question: I spotted a VX on ebay. Can you decipher the serial# and tell me if it matches for a vx. Thanks CO ZX2 http://www.autocheck.com/?siteID=204...eh2372ph543439

I wonder what the Cd is now?
