Coincidentally, just today I traced out a wheel skirt in cardboard for my 2nd gen. Ultimately they'll be coroplast. I may just duct tape them on, since (1) the car is black, so it's not obvious, and, (2) nothing on this car is a long-term mod. Oh, and (3) it's easiest.

For some reason, I never cancelled my e-mail alerts for used Prius ads. I saw a 2010 (gen 3) for $3500 this week -- a long-distance commuter with almost 500k km / 300k miles on the clock. Tempting! I know someone who has bought (currently owns) 2 high km, but properly maintained Priuses with no problems or regrets.
