Body kits?

They look OK, but kind of meh. Perhaps something like this would be better:

Flashy? Gold and green wouldn't be my first choice of color combinations, either... 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?

I was gonna say something like "Yeah, but it probably wouldn't effect the mpg by more than 10%" then I got to thinking. 10% of 45 is 4.5mpg.

 

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

The Modellista kit looks awesome, that black Prius is sweet!! I'd definitely go for that one!
