Prius Full Belly Pan! *PICS*

This is the finished result of my 2005 Prius belly pan, I Have had the front 1/3 already smoothed out with a belly pan for the last 2 months, today I finished the whole undercarriage with the exception of about 4" in the back because I ran out of Coroplast. Anyway HAPPY ECOMODDING!

Curious what happens at the rear suspension when it's fully extended (unloaded). Is there play in the coroplast attachment?

Yes there is some play. I put it on with the car jacked up, then lowered it and then tightened it up some more. Its pretty sturdy yet flexible. We will see how it works out. I took it up to 82mph just quickly and it hung on. It actually sits a little below the suspension if I remember correctly. You think I would remember lol , but I would need to look at it again.

I was disappointed last year, I did not really see any signs around here, although I actually knew a guy that ran for something and lost. He posted a picture of his signs with the caption of "I guess that I will let the kids build a fort out of them" or something. I felt bad, I did not want to say "Hey, sorry you lost, but can I have all of your campaign signs, for... science?!"

I have been seeing more and more signs for one candidate. These showed up by March? I checked, yes, the campaign is not until November fourth. I need to see free coroplast for the next six months before I can use it?!

On the other hand, I have had one sign for a year and a half and never got very far with it, and I would not want to ask my ex-girlfriend to come out to help me get signs.
