Haven't taken any pictures of it yet because I don't really have any desire to.

But here are a few modded Prii... Doubt I will do this but I do like the wheels kinda.





One thing I am not used to yet is being able to do whatever the hell I want to it and not care if someone calls me a "ricer" or "ghetto" because it's a Prius for crying out loud!!!

A Prius with an aero kit and spinners, too funny!!! Why go to all that trouble to save gas and make the car work harder with a set of 20's?

(Oh, and it is supposedly good for the environment...)

thats the only reason i drive my 13-15 mpg w124 -- it makes me happy. Even though i have a camry 25-30 mpg that car is just depressing.

Percentage wise, you don't even pay that much of a markup on any of the AMG models.
Are you kidding me? You can come over to Phoenix and buy one off the lot for MSRP. Or do what I did, bought a used one from a private party for $24k including an extended warranty, tint, and clearbra. I can sell it for more that that quickly. (mine is an '05 with 15k miles and all the same options as yours).

These things are simplly an "appliance". Kinda cool though.

I'm not sure this was directed towards me. But I do not have a Prius.

for that price, you could have gotten a well equipped early model e500 sport with all options.

prius looks small, but its actually quite roomy inside, and Its kinda fun to see how much mileage you can hammer out of it. IT must make you kinda paranoid that you aren't saving enough gas hehe.

For me, the Prius wasn't purchased for the mpg, it was the HOV access!

I want my, I want my, I want my HOV.
