My guess is that this will reduce cd, but because you don't have full underbody panel and the Prius 2 is not very smooth under. The worse place is the rear axle beam assembly.
But with full underbody panels I don't think this is good for cd. I have measured 13 cm clearance under my Prius (with 80kg battery inside but only 5kg gasoline so may be 14cm for your's). 9 cm is less. With full underbody panels, why not just air dam before the 2 wheels ?

What is the following test after the police one ?
Could it be the AB test with/without the boat tail ?
Please keep the crash test at the end

Will your cd be always over 0.20 ?

Thank's for your sharing.
