Actually, I'll need some sort of graphic for the tail--in Chicago this weekend, passersby seemed very interested in the skirts, and I imagine the tail will generate even more attention.
In other news, the tail project has officially begun! This morning I ordered a
Torklift Ecohitch, the only hitch available for the Prius that doesn't have a giant bar hanging below the diffuser panel (the crossbar mounts above the panel, leaving only the hitch itself exposed), and a
Stowaway cargo carrier frame, on which I'll build the tail out of rigid foam and fiberglass.
Also, I can now confirm that the wheel skirts are good up to at least 80 mph, no flapping or rubbing.
