    This is my 2025 Prius Prime after completing the modifications I had planned except for possibly painting the brake calipers red. I decided to go with the GR look.

    The aerodynamics are produced by Kuhl Racing and I ordered them from My Japan Direct out of California.

    The graphics are a partial vinyl wrap from a local shop. I got the idea from the Toyota Prius GR displayed at Le Mans and the Prius racing series taking place in Korea.

    The front tires are stock but I replaced the two rear tires with Toyo Proxes Sport A/S 225/45. I did this so I would have spare tires and the factory tires were unavailable for several months. They are 1-8/10” wider and 3/10” taller. The look is very subtle and after over 5k miles on them, I have not noticed any difference in performance.

    I also didn’t like the blank front tag mount so ordered a 4" half sized license plate blank and a Gazoo Racing sticker on Ebay to make my own tag that fits the factory tag mount.

    I do not know, the black at the bottom makes the car look ... lifted. Love the black hood going into the black "wing" I guess we can call it. Makes it look like an arrow.

    How's the fuel economy with that spoiler though?

    I haven't noticed a change in economy. High 30s on ev and 40 mpg at 80 mph on road trips. I don't drive slow enough to find the peak milage.

    This is the GR prototype from Le Mans.
