Okay. Here are some pics...

First, pizza pan hubs.

Duct tape grill block.

Today, I painted the PVC gutters for the side skirts, but I didn't have time to install them. I did install a small section of belly pan between the front bumper and the radiator.

Excellent job, keep it up. I like the duct tape. Someone on here suggested sign magnet sheets as an inexpensive way to temporarily cover the door handles that you aren't often using. It may be sold as a magnetic sheet cut to size to block furnace vents.
Anyway here's your car with your pizza pans, a windshield wiper air deflector and rear skirts. Looks smooth.

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?

You might want to look at that link, the free flowing cat back exhaust, sri and AEM lightweight pulley might come in handy for FE.

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.

lol ive just realised what i thought was a rear air deflector was actually some fence in the background that was not actually part of your car at-all!

in the pic that chuckm and sayyad posted. it looks like it has a vertical panel comming up from the trunk. this would make a neat kamm-back alternative for reducing flow separation.

i feel silly

I think I'm going to tackle wheel spats next, using the same flashing I used for the partial belly pan.

Does anybody know if there are any magic angles?

Nice job on the side skirts. What's your ground clearance with those on?
