    Not sure where to look, e-bay is way expensive and only has “ new “ repop I’m guessing. But there’s a little plastic shield that goes from the tub to the rear bumper to prevent air turbulence. It’s mayb 4” by 30 “ any one know a used source so I dont have to spend over 100 bucks for one ?

    Not sure what you mean by the word "tub" ---> What it that?

    The belly cover on the driver's side in the back corner that you have to take off and cut for trailer hitch install?

    I got two of them on my parts rack and any junk yard with a Gen2 Prius probably has one.

    Oh, sorry, tub is a term we use in jeeping to describe the metal body that includes the passenger compartment

    Oh, good call on Prius junk yards, guess I will see if reno has anything like that, thank you. My guess is that5 part gets damaged easy when the rear bumper gets hit and thats why this late in the game there aren’t many used ones.
