I think 4mpg is doable, 8mpg might be pushing it for the front end mods unless you're counting stock front vs adding grill block and such. With a grill block I'm sure there's improvements, but I don't think there's much to gain on the prius in that area. Air dam all the way down to the road, wheel splats, wiper deflectors. If you go extreme, you could try to reconstruct the shape of the nose, but I don't think it's too bad of a shape stock.

Either case, will be interesting to see how things turn out (or read since I haven't even seen a pic of the car yet lol)
That's odd. My account is public and my posts are global. Anyone should be able to view them.

I just went to my account from a fresh browser and was able to view everything just fine. Try my main Instagram account and see if that works:

I'm redoing the whole front end, including: a new air ducted inlet for the radiator, shaping as much of the outlet as I can, a much curvier and pointier nose, air curtains, and my secret special sauce. No worries if you are in the doubting camp with aerohead... prepare to be amazed in a few weeks.

I've attached a pic from the tail end, which was the last major mod I completed. Once I get the front done, I'll take some posterity pics and post them on Instagram and here.
