:computer: :wave:

Note: Pic was taken from the rear( click on pic to enlarge.).

 

Those black pieces are what I had to get replaced the other day, when I hit an 18-wheeler tire tread at 70mph :cussing:

Luckily, the pieces were only about $230.

i remember the prius page on the toyota.com website had an animated 3-d view "thing", that allowed you to click and drag which would rotate the car 360 degrees around each axis, there was a pretty good view of the underside there, i haven'tbeen there late though

One of the parts used for underfloor airflow management that can be seen on both the '04 and the Classic are the small black plastic spoilers located in front of the front and rear tires. These parts that are only a couple of inches wide in the rear, and a little wider in the front are used to deflect air from entering the wheelwell and re-routing it around the tire to the outside airstream. To quote an article in the March issue of Automotive Engineering International about the new Prius, they say:

"Elaborate aerodynamic measures, including intricately shaped underfloor shields, rear wheel spats, and a small decklid spoiler enabled an exceptionally low drag coefficient of 0.25 while attaining equally impressive lift coefficients of -0.004 at the front and 0.074 in the back"

Works for me!
