Almost forgot...

Invisible lower grille block finished. I just snapped out the stock screen, cut some black coroplast and screwed them together. Snapped the screen back in. Done. Just have to move the OAT gauge into the tow ring opening.

Engine blanket started... Just have to work out hood clearance issues. Photos soon.

Next... Partial belly pan. See:Autospeed: modifying undercar airflow. Classic article about the Classic Prius. One of many very good articles. Actually these are about the NHW10, mine is an NHW11 but the body is the same.
