I was reading over on mynissanleaf dot com that they were going from 3.9kw per mile, which is perfectly normal average power consumption to 4.7kw per mile by doing a grille block and a clever aero mod using the little OE mud flaps. They remove the mud flap from behind the tire, go to the opposite side and install it forward of the tire. Making it kind of a tire air deflector and it looks stock.
Unfortunately mine didn't come with mud flaps. But I can get genuine nissan mud flaps for $130.
Seems reasonable, since I just sold my VW for $1850 I have a few $ laying around to splurge on leaf mods.
