Pimp Your Prius

From LaurenG, Featured Contributor
Posted on September 11, 2008

Thanks to a little "aluminum-surgery," your Prius can look totally unique.

Many people have decided to trade in their SUVs recently for the 40+ miles per gallon promised by the Toyota Prius. As more appear every day on the road, it can't be denied that the Prius is a little, well, boring to look at.

Not everybody cares, but for a certain segment of the population the appearance of the Prius is a dealbreaker. For them, giving in and going green may not be as easy as it looks. Those who live in their cars, commuting week after week may want some leather seats for their ride home from the office, hence the popularity of the luxury, European, gas guzzling vehicle. No fear: the Prius is proving to be very 'pimpable'. With modern technology and a little imagination, it's possible to turn your Prius into a swan, all without damaging that awesome gas mileage.
