Nothing drawn yet. It will be developed in the coming year. It is only needed between the front and back wheels and will be subtle.

Just playing with pixels to see what the shortened version will look like.
As-is today:
Proposed shortened version:
C'mon April...

Tidied it up a bit...
Looks great!
(I extended the side of the nose down a bit, increasingly toward the wheel)

I think it is funny you will have a huge engine compartment for that monster engine! 
Awesome work! |

The engine bay in a Prius is too cramped, so such a bigger engine bay is likely to be way more convenient to do the maintenance.
