Modding the new 2023 Prius

So eventually when my Ioniq does give out, the obvious car I’ll be looking at getting would be the 2023 Prius. Sadly it takes about a 3 mpg hit

Some obvious day one mods would be smooth wheel covers ( no idea why Toyota is going for the bad aero open spoke wheels, oh wait, it’s clearly to look sporty and appeal to a new sporty market)

And an adjustable air suspension. I do like how it’s 6 inches off the ground now versus 5 from the Previous gen. Odd though since most people think lower cars look sportier. This extra inch also hurts the MPG and aerodynamics. I’d probably get a suspension that would let me lower it to 4 inches but also raise it up to 8 inches for deep snow driving

The new Prius Cd is up to .27 now versus last gens .24

So for the aero nerds out there, what would the CD drop down to after lowering it about 2 inches and adding smooth wheel covers?
