I  find myself to be in the minority when it comes to the use of car pictures…I almost always find the rear of tuned cars more fascinating than the front. Despite knowing that is wrong from a media perspective, (magazines almost always feature the front of the car primarily), I rarely care about convention and I find myself almost always featuring a rear shot first and a front shot later on. Most of the cars I’ve had a hand in building I also prefer the rear to the front as well (my S2000 for certain I prefer the rear profile over the front).

This Insight is no different. The rear on this Route KS aero kitted Insight is just nuts. That is one seriously aggressive rear bumper, complete with multiple air outlet ducts and a very intensely finned rear diffuser. As much as I must acknowledge that the Prius and the Insight have a strong place in the future of JDM tuning, I’d be lying if I didnt say that I wish we were talking right now about a next Generation Supra, AE86, S2000 or just about anything more interesting than eco cars. Oh well…

The front bumper is not too shabby either. Overall this kit is somewhat well done for the type of kit that really should not exist in the first place. When it comes to making really slow cars look really fast, this is quite a nice attempt. Unfortunately you and I still know the car is really slow.
