The third-generation Toyota Prius now has a modified version created by Japanese tuning firm Tommi Kaira.

All the modifications are cosmetic as the hybrid system didn’t receive any mechanical tweaks. The front-end was completely redesigned with changes consisting of a new front lip spoiler and new air intakes.

Ride height was lowered and the car now rides on new larger wheels and tires. For the rear, Tommi Kaira fitted a new bumper alongside a four-pipe exhaust system. Tommi Kaira also took off the Toyota badging at the front and eco-badging at the rear. Pricing for the Tommi Kaira Toyota Prius conversion has yet to be announced.

lol, now it's even more useless as it's both slow and can't go over speed bumps.

But, it could be the most fuel efficient Zamboni to ever grace the rink.

Wow, like the Lexus HS, the Prius looks pretty nice if lowered. Wheel size seems acceptable. Wouldn't buy it, but it looks pretty cool!

There's that Japanese tuner way of thinking again. Who still rices out their cars in North America? Rice rockets are of the old.

Right... so Ferrari doesn't lower their cars. BMW M doesn't lower their cars. M-sport suspensions don't have such options. Since the low riders, lowering of the car has been the most sustainable style for two reasons: it looks great, and it improves handling.

Oh... and those concept cars and track cars? Are they high up, or are they low to the floor with big rims?

For some reason, a riced out Prius seems like an oxymoron.
