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.

Better than blue masking tape before going on cross-country trips, lol.
