Default Re: Prius Body Kits

This is just a general thought, but I've been confused for a very long time now regarding the need for people to go out there and put extranious layers of plastic on vehicles that are already mostly plastic. To boot, most of the vehicles that I see that have been modified are not brand new vehicles, but mostly worn out Honda's, the ocassional Neon and one Plymouth Breeze that is just hideous looking now, not that it was a looker when somebody's grandmother was driving it.

In addition, why spend money making a vehicle look ugly? Why spend money making a vehicle physically lower to the ground than reasonable or necessary? Why put nitrous on a vehicle in which the engine is not able to handle the stresses of burning nox?

The Prius just isn't a vehicle which lends itself to body kits. It has a unique charm in its design right now, why ruin it with items that honestly don't look good on any car.
