Belly Pan on the Saturn
There was a link posted a while back for an article by AutoSpeed? about installing a belly pan on the prius.
I thought I'd go ahead and try it. I didn't want to use coroplast since I don't think it holds up over time and has enough durability, so I bought some ABS plastic. Not cheap, about $2 per square foot. Made a cardboard template and simply cut it out.
It's mounted with four sheet metal screws in front and is held up with releasable zip ties in back. It takes less then 5 minutes to take off and the only thing it covers up is the fluid drain on the radiator.
So far, my perception is that it's a smoother ride, and noticably quiter on the highway. I'm thinking of doing something similar with the rear end next.
