Nice wheels/suspension setup, could look even better in OEM glossy paint.

Are those staggered wheels?

Sorry doing to much here. Flat black is a tough color. Prius is not a tough car. It like putting a dress on Bautista.

Not bad, but I don't really like those wheels on a flat-black car. I think some lipless wheel in gunmetal would really be better.

Designed to absorb as much heat as possible to minimize fuel efficiency. Brilliant.

I still don;t understand doing this to a Hybrid? Save some money and buy a Corolla if your gonna do something like this to a vehicle...
