    You guys are obviously a subset of Prius owners. For the life of me I can't see the value in modifying this car. It seems to defeat the purpose. However if that's your thing, enjoy it.

    We mod it because we're sick of people saying it's boring or ugly.

    We mod it because we'd rather spend money on parts than oil.

    We mod it because some guys/companies were crazy enough to make parts for it.

    We mod it because of ppl like you.

    we mod it because we are addicted to modding cars.. put any car in front of me.. I WILL mod it..
    Once upon a time I tried to stop my addiction.. so I bought a 2000 4 door Golf AUTOfor 3k... 8000.00 later it was a manual and looked SWEEET.. for some people it is an addiction to stand out of the crowd in their vehicle.. it will never end.. :rockon:

    Those are nice but in all honesty I think your TE-37s were nicer. More premium JDM rims and also lighter.

    Your car's amazing. I'm so glad that there are a few of you guys modding. I've cut way back on my mod addiction, so looking at your car satisfies my addiction (to an extent.)

    Bino is actually leasing the car so all the stock parts are going back on at the end of the lease. That's why he bought the JDM headlights instead of baking the OEMs to get the reflectors out and I believe he already has a buyer for his Crystal Eye tails.
