sorry i dont have much time to get on here but ill answer as best i can.
nookandcrannycar: i took a powerwasher to this cheap plastic toxic mess, cleaned it up well enough to put into a bag and not fear black death:0

Yaristeve: unfortunatly its a VERY tight fisted item from toyota part #00289-T00KT-DS, but we keep all the extra from the jobs and just do our cars as we desire, its roughly a lighter form of bedliner, almost cardboard paper thin.

malibuguy: my milage is piss poor compared to some hypermilers, but i drive either 2 ways to work. 20 minutes through the center of the city(hence why I am crazy about weight loss) or 10 minutes highway. The issue is if i work at 8 and get off at 5 the highway then takes 30 minutes with traffic, so I end up taking the city much more.

Idahotom: I agree, I feel as if DEFCO downhill is just partially making up for the uphill stint of a trip.

Im kicking around some ideas for a rear diffuser or just going with cheap and easy "speed holes" in the rear bumper right now. I still need to do more research into the areo effect of the rear bumpers on these cars.

sorry about the lack of pictures, i cant seem to find a site to upload them to that does take a half hour of registering...
