wow nice air deflector on the back. how is that made? thats the first time i have seen that on this forum and it looks easier than a kammback because its just a flat sheet. how is it attached?
Thanks. If you are referring to the bottom three pictures, I filled the gap between the bottom of the front bumper and the radiator. I had a roll of flashing I bought for some roof work. I riveted three sheets side by side, measured and cut to shape, then zip-tied it to the bumper (left side of the bottom image). Also, Toyota kindly mounted some plastic shrouding, so I borrowed the mounting holes (right side of the bottom image).

I did mount the PVC gutter side skirts. I mounted them with sheet metal screws and fender washers.



I still need to add some flashing for wheel spats.

Sayyad, man, if I can make my rear wheel skirts and wiper deflector look that good, I'll go into business. Honestly though, matching Toyota's paint color is the toughest part. I do want it to look at least somewhat good.
