Good job! I never thought of bed coating... It dries very hard then?

Not to burst your bubble, but you are incorrect. I can attest to that easily. 50lbs is 50lbs and will affect acceleration and braking. I see a very noticeable difference rolling on 15s as opposed to my 18s as well as whether or not I have my subwoofer box in the trunk or do not. Performing a spare tire delete even makes a difference. Every change you make to a car that is designed like the Yaris has an impact and you need to weigh the pros/cons. An example is going boosted and not only that, but whether or not you go SC or turbo when you gauge your FE. You very well trade FE for power.
