echo rear bellypan install pics.

The back took way longer than the front, and i had to drill big holes in my bumper to mount it like i wanted. I thru bolted the 10mm coroplast thru the plastic bumper. I also had to cut and screw in sheetmetal peices in each fenderwell to keep the pan from getting air in it. I was working against the clock as i leave for a 1000 mile round trip tomorrow morning. the back is the way im going to leave it, but for now the front is only tie rapped and bungee corded. As far as the holes in the bumper are conserned i think they could only help if air does get in the pan it wont act as ,a parachute as much.and i dont care too much about the looks, but they look ok to me anyway, if any body is going to be doing an echo pan i hope the pics help. Rear decklid extention coming soon.

Cool. I was thinking about an echo for my next car, btw. How's it treating you?

Looks fine to me, only thing that might have changed is the color of the coroplast, and that's just dying it black.

echo is great it has 150k on it and besides tires, brake pads and oil changes no failures,,, it does have a throwout bearing that rattles, but it might rattle on for another 50k or more. The car is not that refined, lots of road noise,feels every bump, but i love being able to get 40 mpg without even tring. im use to it ,my friends love their yaris as well.
