Those wheel arch covers could be a bit more stealth, eh? I've seen better on DIY cars around here, probably with less effort. The rest of it looks OK, though. The general theme seems to be OK, looks like they're touting performance from Aeromodding, which usually is correct.

That is to say that there is a performance look, feel, and even some actual performance advantage that can be gleaned from aero modding, including increased fuel economy potential, if done for whichever reason. Cars don't need to look like their supercar counterparts to handle well on the highway, and making an attempt to generate downforce at a net loss to the vehicle's already bad aero is just funny. At least someone is taking care of it in a somewhat sytlish/elegant way.

BTW - there is an aftermarket for the Prius... someone thought it would be the "New Civic" for youngin.
