Whoa Nelly! Tokyo Motor Salon 2006 -KenStyle Prius

Why does the phrase "Butt ugly" spring to my mind when looking at this picture?

Ken never knew style, it was always Barbie...

 

Look for the hit show "Pimp my Prius" on the Comedy Channel.

 

Oh Great! Make it twice as hard to see out the back.

But in this case, that just may be a good thing. Who wants to look out the back and see the people in the car behind laughing at you. :huh:

 

Looks like Ken is compensating for his lack of "factory equipment."

 

Here is another winner (from George Barris, no less):

love that they added the sale front nose as on the celica that failed a few years back... if the prius actually looked like that there is no way I would ever own one... stupid, ugly, foul just a few words that come to mind to describe that butt ugly abomination of an excuse for a car.

Sick... they need to not do these modifications, reminds me of the fools around here who add 3 foot wings to their geo metros and add a custom paint job using exterior house paint.

excusse me i am going to go throw up now,

 

LOL! I would be doing that if I saw it in front of me.

I don't care for the pimping of vehicles.

I think the whole point with the Prius is to minimize the existence of exhaust. That car has dual exhaust pipes, thus making the exhaust system prominent and more like the average car. Looks cool, but it definitely advertises the wrong message for the Prius. I like the fact that it is hard to see the exhaust pipe on a traditional Prius. It cleans up the look and doesn't scream gas-thirsty performance like shiny dual exhaust pipes do.

Just FYI, I've owned several high-perf cars with dual exhaust, and I like the balanced look of duals. Since Toyota did a good job of hiding the single-exhaust on the Prius, the car retains a clean look.

It makes me wonder what kind of signature the manufacturers will put into the new high-perf cars of the future if everything goes electric. No need for exhaust pipes. Maybe the cars will have clear panels showing the high-gauge wiring or something. :lol:

 

I agree that the rear view is a bit much, but when I saw the other pictures, it all works when you see it together.

I particularly like the front bumper/spoiler and the fender flares.

Not that I would do it quite like that, but it is interesting. Anyway to each his own.

I think terms like vomit, etc. are a bit much. It's all a matter of taste, and I'm sure some of hte cars many of you have owned could easily be considerd "butt ugly." You guys need to stop being so critical of everything.

I just hope none of you ever owned an Aztek!

You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself...

 

OMFGROTFLOL!! (to use that quaint internet vernacular...)

 

I agree... I would actually like to hide the exhaust even more if possible. I want any apperence mod make it look energy efficient and EV like rather then a poor excuse for a suped civic....

 

let them play "DAD" I did and I bet you did too!

 

What's with all the shiny and glowing stuff in the backseat?? What is that exactly?? If that thing were in front of me, I'd be pointing and laughing while getting out my cameraphone to snap a few photos of it so I can continue my laughing far into the future. :lol: :lol:

 

I see two inverted Audiobahn subwoofers and three Audiobahn power amps, plus an LCD screen where the back seat should be. You'd hear this thing long before you saw it.
