Should I put boattailing behind the front wheels, or inner and outer side skirts? (I live on a dirt road.)
What should I NOT cover with a belly pan? (going to use metal, no melting hazard)
What are the advantages of a scangauge over the factory prii system?
Current tires are Goodyear Integrity 185/65/15's are these Lrr, and what is better?

PLEASE POST MODS!!!!
I remove my UGB in summer (time to reinstall, except I have no time...) but keep my LGB all year round.
Watch engine temps on my UG like a hawk though.

Don't cover the exhaust trajectory nor the fuel tank!! You don't want to trap heat as it will spread to area's that cannot have it, even if the belly pan itself can. And if you ever lose fuel you don't want to trap that either.

A scan gauge or ultragauge allows you to set your preferred readings and warnings.
There are lots of data that the MID does not show.
I track intake temp, engine temp, load%, 12V battery voltage, instant FE and (i fear i forgot )

Shark fins; nah. LW radio reception sucks. That is, unless you go...
