The only reason to get a Prius is the fuel economy. I doubt that body kit and those mods really help out in that department.

from an aerodynamics point of view, the prius is pretty damn efficient... i wonder is this is going to be counter productive by increasing drag?

What about the benefit of making its owners feel smug?

If it looks cool, more people will buy it. If I can find a car with sport car suspension and prius mpg, I'll used that for DD.

Between that and the Bulletproof Automotive thread, this is turning into the spam forum.

I don't know about you but I myself have absolutely no interest in a car that looks sporty and fast, but in fact is the exactly opposite, not to mention the higher prices you pay for some bodykits on a Prius.

I'm pretty sure someone else already posted this abortion too. Reposts are bad enough. Reposts of utter crap cannot be tolerated, thus saith the Lord.
