Hey, thanks for the offer but I want to stick with the stock bumper.

Amazing! Q: Did you use the "clear-matte" plasti-dip paint "color" with the Dippearl topcoat? How many coats of each would you recommend? My hood is getting thrashed with many small chips and I am considering doing what you did on your bumper to my hood and perhaps side mirrors as well, after some touch-up. Was the 2-gallon DipYourCar "kit" (ATV) enough or did you go with the 3-gallon (Coupe) kit? Thanks for your help!

Got the CR-Z Engine cover installed. Cut slots on the front area to allow the tabs/flaps to be inserted so there's no chance for the front part to fly off from high speeds. Used only plastic clips to secure the entire cover.

I really like them, they grip well and I can do faster transitions from the gas pedal to the brake pedal (smaller gap between the two). The larger surface area is big improvement over the stock pedals.

?
Does this cover help with gas mileage? If so how much did it cost and how much did your mpg increase?
#19
it did increase 1-2mpg. I forget how much but it wasn’t that expensive, maybe ~ $60?
