You could probably fab up some skirts to close off the huge gaps above the steering wheels. They don't need all that space either.
I bet you could bring your coverage further down over the wheel with no ill effects.

I prefer using Fuelly, I'll be sure to make notes on there when each mod is added.
I'm not sure how much I could skirt the front wheels without having to make it hinge. I might get around to it eventually after taking video of the suspension travel to see how low I can go.
(Prius looks very Dr. Seuss in the reflection on the flare)
The skirts are as low as they can go while being inside the fender and not rubbing the tire if the skirts were flat. I don't plan on going any lower unless I add side skirts.

Paint the coroplast black and no one will ever notice it. Or don't, your call obviously. Maybe you'd like more people to notice it, ask questions, maybe make improvements to their own rides.

I think front and rear pans might be easier on my truck. The exhaust is about even or below the frame rails. I should be able to at least cover from the rails to the running boards in the middle. Running boards probably hurt a little, but I'm short and I love the ones at the front of the bed. Makes it so much easier for me to access the bed. Here's some pictures of the belly of the beast. Links to full size images are below each.

I was planning on painting the skirts flat black after I get them all sorted out. I don't want the mods to really stick out and I don't think this coroplast is UV stable.
redneck- I think I'll try gluing more coroplast before moving to the aluminium. Looks like super glue is one of the best ways to glue coroplast.
