The front wiper delete is not one of the things I'd do. It would be of little benefit and who wants a car that's afraid of the rain.

The rest of it looks doable and should be effective, although a Prius has a pretty low Cd as is.

Easy way to accomplish it.

Loan car to basjoos.
Introduce him to a good custom body man
Add money
Get car away from basjoos after project completion


Actually, almost any car would benefit from this approach. I am somewhat baffled as to why the VW TDI guys don't do stuff like this.
