    Anyone know a source for the black tail light fins on this Prius?

    That would be a company by the name of "Kenstyle."

    Unfortunately, the U.S. distributor for Kenstyle doesn't seem to carry it.

    Not too shabby looking, though I'd prefer all tint.

    Note that the Toyota emblem was removed...

    Sure hope it's got more power, too, or every bully on the street will be taking this Prius driver's lunch money!

    It's waaaaaaaay overstyled for my personal taste.

    Curious if exhaust comes out of both of those (cool looking) Lexus exhaust ports, though.

    Ah... you mean no door handles on the rear door! Probably some sexy remote relays pop it open.

    Here's the official word I received from Kenstyle USA:

    My office represents Kenstyle in North America. Although we certainly appreciate your request, what you have asked for is not a production item and cannot be built or sold to you. If you’d like to order the production aero kit we have for the Prius we’d be happy to help you. If there is anything else you’d like assistance with please don’t hesitate to ask.

    Sincerely,
    Ben Schaffer

    Good lord. I'm doing my best NOT to. But like the scene of an accident, I had to go see. Eeek.

    I just emailed them about some group discounts in case anyone is interested in their body kit. I'll let you know what I hear.

    The prius is not a sports car, why try and make it look like one? Thats almost as bad as these kids with stock civics and big monkey wings.

    I don't like it, but i think it's better looking than that widebody kit with the fingerprints on the MFD. I wonder what kind of FE this thing gets with the extra weight? Maybe the shaved rear door handles give a significant FE boost :D

    lolz, ricer prius. haha Wth. I love most of it, except for the 2 spoilers....haha. If they had a kit that didnt include that big turbo or GT style wing I might look into it a little more. I dont like the tail light divider either.

    My guess on the rear door handles is they took out the back seat and put in a VERY big set of speakers / amp / woofer so there's no need to use the rear door.

    I really don't see the purpose. Toyota spends a lot of time getting the cd down to .26 and these fools throw a pile of junk on the rear hatch that can't help but create a lot of turbulence thus increasing the cd and lowering mileage.

    Besides, I thought the only cars you were allowed to 'rice' were rusty old Honda civics. And then, only if you put more money into the mods than the car cost to start with. ;)

    I think its looks ok, I personally love the Prius kit that is on the front page of that 'kenstyle' link. B)
