I'm hoarding a set of Nissan Pulsar NX tail lights. Yours if you want.

Making it will be really difficult while you use the car every day. It is possible to cast the rear of your car now so you have a copy rear section to work from while your car is used and there is no pressure to make a quick job

Making it neat as the xl1 even without join lines will take alot of time... but not money

..you could make it removable so apart from fixings you keep the original hatch in tact

...rather than making a new one

ideally thats what i want is something removable for road trips and can take it off for city driving or if i want to sell this car. just like the side mirrors and wheel skirts are removable

Hitch mount box with magnetized vinyl leading edge flaps.

Unless it's made of plastic, then [shrug]

Currently doing a road trip to Arizona. Have blizzak winter tires on. They are the same size as my ecopias, but are somehow thicker. Tried to put my wheel skirts on for the road trip and they fit too tight and touch the tires. Kind of off since on paper the tires should be the same size.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice.....

Drive between twin falls and Utah stateline netted me 35.8 mpg going 88-89mph cruise control with slight headwind and 11 degrees outside and winter tires. Also that’s with both side mirrors removed. I think that’s a new record on the lowest average mpg I’ve ever gotten on the highway since owning the car. It was so painful. Full tank of range dropped down to 406 miles. In the summer I can crank out 660-700 hypermiling with eco mods

Okay today cc is at 89 mph with a 3 mph head wind and cold temps and getting 46 mpg average for 100 miles in Utah. My car makes no sense.

Road surface? Bumps absorb fuel?

Roads are about the same. Could be the 1500 feet higher elevation and maybe slipstream effect. Lots more drivers being aggressive. My cars computer system acts different too with the hybrid battery charge too
