nasty. Yet as a working prototype, it's pretty interesting to see how much can be done with just air resistance.

do you guys think there are ways of cutting wind resistance like that but making it look a little better? maybe having a real shop do it for you? i mean how much would just the front bumper and the wheel covers be? i'm sure just those would increase fuel economy and it would look a lot better than having that ugly crap on the back. Just talkin, i don't think i'd do any of it, no matter what gas it gets

sure - look at the Insight. That's not exactly pretty either, but it's better...
