Hello, first time poster.... I will be buying a Prius soon, but looking at modding with a sporty body kit as I have doen with several of my past cars.....here are a few I found What do you think????
Personally, I like the front end kit on picture one on the black car.... and as far as the flashy multi colored Prius that you posted Beryl....

I like the black car's spoiler also, the silver car's spoiler looks a little too "busy" for the lines of the Prius if you were deciding between the two. More on the Barris Prius here http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=109531 Barris and crew added a full horizontal duckbill spoiler to the trunk lid and outfitted the Prius with American Racing 18-inch chrome wheels and BFGoodrich tires. A vertical grille extends into the hood, and the wheel arches are flared.
Just remember that any mod can affect the Prius' coefficient of drag, increasing it, so you'll get lower fuel efficiency. But small mods, like mud flaps, seem to have a minimal impact, so have fun. Have you looked at the options offered by JapanParts?

There are four aero kit's I can think of : Modellista - first pic (Styling Package) Ver. A - japanparts calls this Stylish Tom's Kenstyle - second pic
