my plasic shroud thing is all busted to fuk.. this may be a dumb question but does this need to come off to do an oil change? and if so u think the dealer will deal with having to take it off every time i go for a change? lol

If I read I would of found the answer lol... anyone still know about if the dealer will still change the oil or tell me to "F, OFF" :)

It's so easy to take off, you could remove it before going over there.

severous01 · 05-19-2009, 04:33 PM

is there any aerodynamic acheivements or is it just for looks/protection?

NonStopTuning · 05-19-2009, 04:45 PM

Very nice job Garm, well done sir!!!

This is actually a piece I thought about working on. Glad to see you've got it going.

Good luck with production and all the phases that follow

Definite aero improvement is expected. At higher speeds this could improve traction in the front (might take very high speeds though), and I anticipate 1-2 mpg increase, though let me be clear -- I can't prove it yet.

Thank you NST, means a lot coming from you.

kngrsll · 05-19-2009, 09:59 PM

1NZYaris1 · 05-20-2009, 01:14 AM

.
sorry Garm , i guess i am just jealous ,

you should adopt New Zealand as the 49 th State.

buddyjim · 05-20-2009, 03:30 AM

Garm, have you thought about rolling a couple beads in the panel for stiffness insted of putting the 90 along the back edge. Depending upon how you roll the beads you can increase the stiffness front to back as well assuming that there is excessive flex in that direction.

cali yaris · 05-20-2009, 10:52 AM

Beads are possible but add to the cost (which I already wish was lower). The panel is pretty stiff when installed and makes no noise.

cm07yaris · 05-20-2009, 10:53 AM

I remember this project! Glad to see it finally came together!

cali yaris · 05-28-2009, 04:15 PM
