I was thinking about doing something to the front bumper / grill using some aluminum in the 1/8" to 1/16" range. What would you guys do?

I typically drive very short distances under 5 miles usually so my MPG sucks usually. But 1/2 the miles are on the freeway, so I thought I could benefit a little from some aero mods, and I'd really benefit on the occasional longer trip.

Thanks!
But with your short range, local driving the only real gains you are going to make are by Pulse and Glide or getting a lighter car.


I know that costs $$$. Thats the reason I have a 10 yr old Camry and not a 5 yr old Prius.
