I'm okay with the color. Bold is back.
I'm okay with the mirrored headlight buckets. I always thought it would be cool to do something there other than match body color.
I'm okay with with hood louvers. They look "sharky" and may be functional.
I'm okay with the fender flares.
I'm even okay with the the rakes on the door.
I'm not okay with the vents on the fenders behind the front wheels. From the picture, they look fake, but even if they are real vents, they look out of place .
I'm really not okay with rear spoiler treatment. The ducktail rear bumper is a interesting touch, along with the wiper delete, but why, why why leave the original spoiler side pieces in place???

Wanna know what's a crime? Whoever defaced that work of art by painting it that color... ought to have his *** removed.

Taste is an amazing and variable thing. My art may be your junk. Some folks sincerely believe that painting a car seasick green will blind folks to how they have taken a piece of art and turned it into junk. In my opinion.

Yes, it's bad, but simply the boy-racer variety bad.

The new "Buck Rogers Edition" Prius is far worse. I experienced a mood change the first time I saw one, sort of a despair that I couldn't shake coupled with a slight headache and overall heaviness in my soul. Small things p'd me off for hours afterward.

Terrible. Reminds me of all the Panteras that were "customized" in the late 70 and 80's.

Hehe.
Mein gott.


Granted a spoiler delete is a pain in the ***, but the hardware is also exposed around the hatch glass. If you went to the trouble to make "gills" everywhere on the car, why not buy the trim?

I am somehow reassured to know that they have Pep Boys in Switzerland.

I'm glad they put the "Custom" badges on it. I wasn't sure if all that was Porsche options or not.
