    It should lower MPG because it would mess up the aerodynamic behind the car.

    If you mod a Prius, gas mileage will go down. The only exception I know of were aftermarket PHEV mods and now you would just buy one stock.

    Ah, I was viewing the pic on my smartphone and it was real tiny and grainy. :D

    Now that I'm looking at it on my desktop, they look like they could be grenade launchers or napalm dispensers. :eek:

    They should have just gone with two on the outside to goof that they might have a big block under the hood. The difference between a little humor and dumb is so slight.
