palmer_md,
thanks for finding/posting the DuraFlex link.
Pretty cool. Too bad they didn't cover the upper engine cooling
opening. It is unnecessary except in the hottest climes.
In that it appears to have a splitter it could be argued that
it has aero benefits. Problem is the "split" air most probably
goes through the engine bay and out the front wheel wells,
and/or under the car. Neither condition is all that desirable.
Here's the pix:
With the "slot" at the outboard corner of the bumper cover,
it looks like they have pretensions to creating an
air curtain,
across the front wheels. I'd think that there would also have
to be some under-the-cover ducting to accomplish it though.
Here's a link to the Prius kits at the DuraFlex on-line store,
Extreme Dimensions Inc.
FWIW, you're two posts away from being able to post links and
photos. Soon would be the time to post your pix on the
air curtain thread.
