I'm curious... Not counting gathering parts, was the tip to manual swap straightforward/bolt-in? I have stripped a couple manual cars and probably have the parts. Are all the holes and mounting points for the manual stuff already there?

Have you looked at the aero with it open on the sides and rear? Seems like it would make a lot of turbulence (drag) at 70+ mph. I think that extending the sheeting of the roof further back (even shooting brake style) or putting a gurney flap at the back of the roof might reduce the drag at speed, but I'm just guessing.
