Cool, lets put heavy wheels and a bulky bodykit and ruin the entire idea of a hybrid.

Correct.

This is the only body kit that is out for the HS. There are no full bumper replacements available.

have you ever weighed a stock wheel? you do realize that they are pretty heavy. if there is much of a difference between the new wheels and body kit, it will not be enough to drastically change anything fuel effiecent.

i like the concept of a hybrid having an non-hybrid look. the add ons themselves wont add too much weight. and as for the fuel consumption, there shouldnt be too drastic a change in MPG.

Wow, that does look pretty good. I still don't like the rear lights though. The body kits work perfect for this car.

Im gonna have to agree with 50% of the people on here. Its a hybrid and adding all that VIP stuff looks great, but I know from training that L-finesse styling that we see on the car from the factory has a much lower drag coefficient. So although it looks different, the time and money would be better spent on a vehicle that isn't trying to be so fuel efficient.

And again I will state that after adding all that stuff on the car it does look like a corolla and yes, it is a VIPOS! (hopefully this wont be deleted since it has some factual backing)
