Gen 2 Prius ecomod thread

Been working on making slick, well uh, slick, thought i'd show my progress and see if I could get some info from others .

Here she is!

My LGB, 2pc aluminum with zipties,

Upper grille block, this made a big difference in warm up!

my wheel covers I had, one fell off, so I took the rest off until another one is made.

If there are any suggestions, or you have some amazing 2nd gen mods, please post, (And if anybody could tell me how to shrink pics, the full size ones are too large, these are thumbnails.)

Did you try the lower grill block with and without the upper? My lower doesn't seem to help too much and I've been meaning to try an upper.

Here's my lower grill block. Similar to yours except I used plastic cut from the back casing of a cracked LCD I found in a dumpster. I've painted it black, but here's the original pink, which is easier to see.

Yes, I did drive for a while with just the lower, didn't test it though, noticed dramatic difference in how it handed cold weather after adding the upper.

Before the upper grille block, the engine stayed on a LOT more, now the car does mostly what I tell it.

It looks like you got the easy aeromods done. Extending the rear kamm would be on my list to do if you're on the highway that much.

currently working on rear wheel skirts, it's 14" flashing- hopefully not too flimsy- and I have made the first one so it overlaps rather than fits in the wheel well, will this cause any problems?

any ideas on how to do this without screws? I do NOT want to drill into the sheetmetal thought about 3m tape?

Would love it to look like this!

I plan on a belly pan soon, and I have read that it is not a good to put an air dam on prii; so I will ask this, what would give the best mpg boost:

1 belly pan
2 belly pan plus air dam
