my top 3 would be:
1. new Side Mirrors - help w/aerodynamics however minimal
2. Mud Guards - would decrease in the amount of water and debris to sides
3. Roof Rack - when actually needed and they somehow look better
68 vehicle mods for better fuel economy...

Vacuum Gauge on the way and will report findings w/one and before

So, are you trying to say you're going to replace your mirrors and remove the roof rack and mud guards for better fuel economy?
When I think of aero, it's more along the lines of performance and not economy.

When I think of aero I actually think of both. I think a more aerodynamic car would definitely help performance, stability and road handling but at the same time improving fuel economy.

usually, the more downforce, the more drag it creates. it's hard to get both performance and fuel economy at the same time

updated title, i want mud guards and love the look of Roof Racks and ability to fit stuff that wouldn't normally even w/rear bench down
in CO theres many w/roof racks and i wonder how many use them often enough to justify having them
