So while waiting for circumstances to give me the ability to start ecomodding my car, here are is what I've come up with to do:
- Smooth coroplast wheel covers. Easy to restore to stock by cutting a few zip ties.
- Pipe insulation to block upper grille.
- Coroplast to effectively block portions of the lower grille. Coroplast "fan blades" to cover fog light area to increase aero.
- Possibly use coroplast to duct incoming air into the radiator.
- Air Dam - lawn edging mounted onto front bumper.
- Possibly see if I can obtain the engine bay belly pan from a same gen Civic Hybrid to install.
Attached is a rough idea of what I'd hope the final product to look like (thanks to Microsoft Paint):
What do you think? Any tips, suggestions, or improvements? Should I paint it black or try to match the silver? I'm also considering automated grille shutters if I ever become knowledgeable enough to wire them up.
All mods must be easily restorable to stock (unless I replaced the part such as with the bumper and grille, but kept the original bumper and grille).
