Tree hugger-friendly sport/performance modifications

.

It's kinda similar to what they have in Toyota Japan (via Tom's, Modellista and TRD and etc.).

Nice job so far on this

Wow that looks really good! Would love to see more pics of this. I wonder if a similar sort of special edition Prius will be available in North America?

The 3rd gens look great with bigger wheels and a drop. I think 5axis had one on show at wekfest...

According to Toyota UK no. This is a package only offered there. Should there be a global version, I would rock it.

in some pics it's ok, but the brake rotors look ridiculously small with those rims, the front 'body kit' pieces at least look like they fell out of a crackerjack box and the wheel gap and proportions just look awkward.

What about full bumper kit one, and not the add-on?
It looks good though.

for comparison, check out the tiny caliper (and thin rotor) on the IS250 rear (best I can do to defend my 10 Prius

)

maybe the inner lip on the IS rims make it not look so bad or maybe the rotor is just somehow less visible, but i'm not even talking about the rear rotors (which are usually smaller), but the prius fronts with those rims. i think the stock 17s actually look better. not dissing the prius as a whole, but i'm just not impressed with this uk special version.
