Funny you should mention! I was just out in the garage looking over (and under) the TSX, so I started investigating something...

Prius Cd: 0.26
TSX Cd: 0.27

The pics at the bottom show the treatments that are (somewhat) easily visible (sorry for the poor quality -- lighting and space is minimal -- raining outside).

The rear diffuser, rear spat, front spat, and ~1" chin spoiler (Not shown: partial undertray, flared fairings, and miscellaneous underbody pans).

On Teggy, I may start with an small undertray and carefully placed spats. Up front, I really need to figure out a grille block.

Are spats difficult to measure and place? I have plenty of black, scrap plastic to make them...
