Another body mods for Prius

Toyota shows off a couple of Prius' @ Tokyo Auto Salon. The aftermarket business is still lucrative to produce such offerings. Some designs are getting closer to ecomodding aspirations. But they need to stay away from caricatures of the usual suspects in00 auto aftermarket. Trying to stand out of the eco-crowd have to more sophisticated & offer real efficiencies.

Yeah that second image is much better aerodynamics. I'll bet that tiny upper grill opening is unnecessary.
