Nice in the front view but to my taste a bit heavy looking in the rear. Should drop the air drag a couple of points.

I thought Prius was a kamback design so had extra low drag anyway?

So do you call it "Priusight"?

Looks like a KenStyle but with more aerodynamic bits.

So does this guy make this stuff to sell as kits? or does he make them just to to say look what I have and you don't?

I would like to buy the wheel covers.

I'd love to get my hands on those rear skirts.
Anyone know how to make 'em with fiberglass?

I like the DTM touring car-like rear diffuser.

That is just what this car *should* be like IMO! If you're gonna make it ugly, make it ugly for a reason... and suddenly it isn't so ugly! The concave rear bit is awesome, and is what the UCD studends to do their plug-in hybrid trucks (well, all vehicles including the sedans) to make them more slippery.

I've never liked the looks of the Prius. This I like!

I agree...the added stuff on the back makes it look like a Honda Insight...
