I made some rear wheel deflectors using the same design as I did for the front wheels. However, these are actually turned in slightly to the center of the car, for two reasons. First, I would love to be able to use the rear jack points without having to remove a bleep ton of screws. Second, because everyone's favorite huchie guchie published this photo of airflow under a car SPREADING OUT and approaching the tires at an angle. I imagine having side skirts would reduce this, but it wouldn't stop it all together.







That's looking like a complete undertray now!

I may have noticed a slight improvement in coasting, I have only had either of these deflectors on for two round trips of my highway commute, and traffic hasn't cooperated on my calibrated hill. Anyways, typical 44-46 mpg trips seem to have turned into 46-47 mpg trips. I still need to seal up the seams in the deflectors AND the side skirts with hot glue.

Highway commute is over for now, just in time for a fillup. Look at that percent over EPA! (99.5% for future viewers)
