LOL, you are mean.

Car looks really good actually IMO, but frankly VERY unsafe. I was following someone the other day with blacked out tailights during the day I could barely see when their brakes came on. And that window tint is pretty dang dark/hard to see out of at night.... but anyways good looking ride.

Hah!

I've seen a matte-black Prius near my folks place.

took me awhile to explain to pops that it's supposed to look like that, and it's not black primer!

Just change the ambers and the lug nuts, and you'll be fine. Maybe the blacked-out taillights was a bit of a stretch, though.

I just picked up a Honda Insight for the same reason, I put a ton of miles on my DD. I like your look, but I think your windows are a little too dark for me.

I can't handle a center dash, that's why I went for the Honda. Paid invoice at the local dealer. I thought about doing flames but use that camo leaf pattern like the hunters put on their pickups.

You got it backwards. It's not efficient at all anymore! Black cars should be banned, they use more energy from AC. Major FAIL!

It actually looks ok for a Prius. Now get ultra light forged alloys for it, a Bang and Olufsen Stereo, and the battery kit that powers the car 40 miles without running the engine. Yes, you'd have a $50k Prius, but it would be very unique.

Knock yourself silly - install TVs - on the rear seats' headrests.

Don't forget the stick-on vinyl flames on the sides.

I guess with the pennies you saved on gas, you can go crazy with mod's
