Cool Toyota Echo Lower Grill Block & Underbody

Was a nice day today (78F) so I decided to tackle some aero work.

Made a lower grill block out of coroplast
notched 3 parts for the stock tabs and then secured it with 2 zip ties
(which are hidden by the plate)


Ill drive it like this to log mpg and monitor temps.


Then, I will fab covers for the front underbody.
There are 2 open air pockets on either side of the bumper
as well as a large pocket around the oil pan.
(hopefully the coroplast will be ok from the heat of the oil pan)








Aw yeah! Post 808!
