Mud/Stone Guards, Door Window Air Deflectors On A Prius
 
Has anyone installed Mud/Stone Guards, or Door Window Air Deflectors on their Prius?
Concern I have is if installed will they affect the Overall MPG?

I have the "Toyota" door window air deflectors on Pearl. They had no noticeable effect on fuel economy. They do make the car look nicer as well. I can leave the windows down an inch or so and water doesn't come in when it's raining.

Not sure what you mean by Mud/Stone guards. I have the stock Toyota "mudflaps" on all four wheels.

Hi Bob 259; I noticed you have the coastal e tech auto door lock on your Prius.

Was it as easy to install as claimed? Does it work like it says?

Thanks, Robert

Well to be honest, I haven't installed it yet. It seemed a little more involved then indicated and I didn't have a lot of time to look so I'm waiting till the weather warms up to do anything with it. 10-20 degree weather :omg: is not the time to be playing with that or the plastics on the car.
