`We claim the ornamental design for a vehicle body exterior, as
`shown and described.
`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`FIG. 1 is a front view of a vehicle body exterior;
`FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the vehicle body exterior taken
`from the front;
`FIG. 3 is a left side view of the vehicle body exterior;
`FIG. 4 is a top view of the vehicle body exterior;
`FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the vehicle body exterior taken
`from the rear, and,
`FIG. 6 is a rear view of the vehicle body exterior.
`In the drawings, the portions shown by broken lines form no
`part of the claim, and the right side view of the vehicle body
`exterior is omitted because the right side view is identical to
`the left side view except that the right side view does not have
`a gas cap cover as shown by broken lines in the left side view.
