Boat-tail on Insight & Prius in Photoshop

This is why they never came from the factory with them.

and Here's another image of the Prius - dropped, nose extended, and another body line ( indention ) to get help balance the look of the car. The back of the car also has some blackout treatment to help. Also... it's not ...purple


Here it is in black :

That last image is copyright and I can't remember who owns it.
Dude, if you do see this modified image ... please don't sue me !
I'm just bored !

Here's the Prius 'bobcat' short-tailed version :

As requested ... here is the Prius looking rather bloated and in funky purple :

And the Insight long tail :

Nice work.

Be careful backing up into a crowd of people...you could poke someone's eye out with that boat tail.

On the upside, if you wanted to drive the car in a parade, the tail would be a great place for the Mayor or the pageant queen to sit...
