    Hi everyone. I was wondering if there are any specific examples of people doing crazy things to their Prius?

    Like the guy who made the Pribot, or the CasualMafia rap? Anything like this that had an impact on the world of Prius. The girl that covered her prius in gemstones? Looking for info on that too.

    It's for a project I'm working on, anything helps!

    Thank you.

    Look for:

    • Stretch Prius - someone inserted another row of seats
    • Woody Prius - someone rebuilt the rear of a Prius
    • AutoBeYours - I'm not sure if they called it a 'convertable' without a top or a Prius pickup ...
    • Turbo Prius - an NHW10 had a turbocharger installed in Australia
    • various UPS/emergency power Prius - everything from 12 VDC, traction battery connected, and one single-wire, remote power Prius for amateur radio
    • hotel Prius - another favorite
    Google should find them for you.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Hi Bob,

    Could you possibly elaborate on the Hotel Prius? I can't seem to track it down.

    Thanks!

    I saw a white Prius with great flames painted along the sides and front! Really cool looking!

    Are you looking for 'paint', 'interior', drive-trains?

    I would recommend looking at Enginer kits.

    Then there are tow receivers so we can take our stuff with us down the highway.

    Also, there are funny license plates like mine, "C-52MPG"
