There are lots of them including some fails and cosmetic stuff. The best bang or your buck is a phev kit, but those were discontinued in October. You got the other eco mods like grill blocks, lowering, removing the rear bumper cover, pre charging the 12 volt starter battery, inflating your tired to the sidewall psi to name a few.

has anyone thought of just turning up the radio ????
Yeah, removing rear bumper cover helps withthe aero and something with the boundary layers as the air goes over and under the car.
Enginer.us made them and sold them in the US. I think Eric Powers of Powers EV sells them if you really want one. They were made in the wrong side of China and were prone to failures and problems. I think I lucked out getting a later kit and stopped using it til I can get the converter looked over and or rebuilt. They used lifepo4 batteries and some of the BMS had problems as well as the batteries.
does someone make an aftermarket deck that drops in? or is it like most and adapted with a plate/bezel ?
i shouldn't look to you for any ideas. i have enough stereo gear collecting dust right now that if i decided to drop it in the wife might kill me, lol!
where did you mount your amp? is it on the back of the box?
all i would need to do is drop a few bucks on a half decent deck and i already have everything else to make it boom. unfortunately i used my other deck to upgrade the p.o.s. Xplod deck that wasn't working in the RV.
that can be a summer mod. as I don't feel like freezing my butt off outside at the moment.
so has the bumper cover removal netted a negligible gain in mpg's? what are the downsides to removing the lower bumper cover ( i am assuming it is under the back of the car)
