A bit more work was done on the Paseo tonight. I brought out the coroplast and made a front grill block to improve aerodynamics. The car already coasts pretty good, but it sure can't hurt. I blocked off quite a bit of open area.


Here is a pic of what the grill looks like. I forgot to snap a pic before I started working so I took one of my other Paseo.



I got a rough cutout and hung it with some zip ties.



To cut the radiused ends I put a flashlight behind the grill and traced roughly where I should cut. I then trimmed it all up with a utility knife and kept widdling away until it was a nice fit.



After it was all said and done I added two more zip ties to the end and one in the middle to keep everything held down well. Here is the result.
