I would like to see more performance parts coming out... like a cold air intake with a scoop for the side of the car... performance head... some stuff along these lines

i agree with VinceLA, it should "flow" into the rear fenders, looks odd the way it sticks out, HOWEVER i would prefer this FIBERGLASS over PLASTIC (more stable)

I don't think those are stripes. I think they are vents.

As I said before it was designed to stick out to match the wider stance of the side skirts we are making for it. We should have pics for of it soon. With the side skirts and the rear Valance to give the Smart a wider stance instead of looking so skinny.

Looks good, but I'd prefer it without the 6 vents. Are they are a requirement for airflow reasons?

Yes I meant vents. Writer's block at that moment. Again I believe it's one of those "reduce drag/increase underbody flow/venturi-like effect" design. Either way I am not feeling the slanted vents.
