Hello! Or should I say Hello Kitty...

st3ll8rng0 · 04-22-2008, 02:31 PM

Hello! I've been a reader of the PriusChat forums for the longest time and I have not introduced myself. My name is Shella and I own my '08 Prius ever since January of 2008. I have always wanted to do something different with my car since there are tons of white Priuses in California.

I have a little fetish (Maybe 'fetish' is an understatement) with Hello Kitty and I was thinking it'll be cool to have a Hello Kitty Prius. Have the whole deal-io: custom paint job (Hello Kitty's face plastered on each side of the car), Hello Kitty rims (Yes, they exist), Hello Kitty seat covers (Hopefully custom made so it would match the car), and other doo-daas.

It would be awesome with your help from the PriusChat community to help me figure out what parts would fit on my car or what not. I hope to hear from you guys soon!

to PC. I am not familiar with the Hello Kitty phenomenon that you describe, but certainly encourage you to go with the whole deal if you like.....my only concern might be about the rims, the Prius is very sensitive to rim and tire combos and mileage often takes a serious hit if you switch from stock, so you might want to go slow on that one. The paint, seat-covers, etc., should all be fine as they don't affect the functional aspects of this somewhat miraculous automobile.

I can't help you with what parts will/won't fit as I'm still pricing and looking for one but I can say I'd LOVE to see pictures of it when you're done! =)

Go here to see what someone with SpongeBob fetish did with her PC Cruiser. This car one first prize for presentation.

Go for it. Do not be shy. I have had nothing but fun since indulging my fantasies on my Shuttlecraft Prius.

Send pictures.
