Hi! Thanks to Ecomodders, my VW 2005 Golf's mpg has gone up 3-4 by velcroing the wheels with banner fabric (from a sign shop), blocking two small grills with coroplast (also from the signshop), and coasting more; the large grill will soon be blocked too. Thanks Ecomodders!
Next project, has anyone aeromodded their doorhandles? I'd like to make mine more recessed to fit into the 'dip' in the door.
And someday, has anyone heard of a solar panel on a Golf to power the a/c, radio, lights? If Toyota's 2009 Prius can, why not a Golf?!
Thanks again!
Kristina
