[DML] Re: Early production prototype rear fascia

["byrondelorean" <celiambyron@xxxxxxx>]

Interesting work. Nice wheels by the way. Love em.
It is interesting that you note the temperature change in the motor 
compartment. The prototype you designed looks quite a bit larger and 
thicker than the one I was pointing too; which makes me wonder if 
heat really was a defining issue.
Thanks for adding your info.
