I wonder if anyone makes one and what the gains would be too... hmmm I know some decent fiberglass guys around here. That kit would be small though but could definitely improve rearend looks if nothing else.

I think that would look cool. I think that if you could take and lower the stance a little bit, you could improve the air flow and make it look pretty cool. Speaking of cool Prius', have you seen the GT concept unveiled at the 2004 Paris Auto Show? That picture is the reason why I fell in love with this car.

I don't think I could lower mine, might have to raise it. I wanna put 20's on it. Then slap on a body kit to bring the body back lower.

And more efficient because of the reduced under-body drag. The only risk is road debre and pot holes can become more of a hazard. But the engineering is sound, using both a lower, front air dam and side skirts will reduce high speed drag if you can deal with the lower clearance. Another alternative is to fabricate air shields to go under the car.
