    I am thinking of buying the mudflaps on coastaltech. But I wonder how they look like after installed on the Prius.
    Anybody brother to post some pic of their Prius with mudflaps? Many thanks!!

    Does anyone know how mudflaps affect the aerodynamics and mileage on the Prius. It seems that with all the work Toyota did to reduce wind drag, any modifications that could change the airflow could adversely affect performance at highway speeds.

    [font=Comic Sans MS:f826e27e70]Also check out the mudflaps from http://www.metrotpn.com/. Toyota mud flaps from a Toyota dealer. $43 for all four.

    I have no financial interest in this recommendation.[/font:f826e27e70]

    Thanks for the plug Bill. They are the same flaps available through Coastal.
