AutoLabo Prius

The AutoLabo Prius is an actual production aero kit, not a strange sci-fi movie car. It is modified for increased aerodynamics says AutoLabo, thus increasing fuel efficiency even further than the standard Prius. You could call it eco-tuned. I wanted to cover this car because there is simply not much on the net about it. Its one of those interesting company demo cars that just slipped through the cracks of every magazine, blog and form of media out there.

AutoLabo offers the following Prius eco-tuning parts: front bumper, side skirts, rear fender skirt, rear bumper, rear carbon wing and coilover suspension
What do you think? Would you drive one of these?

Thanks to a little "aluminum-surgery," your Prius can look totally unique.

Many people have decided to trade in their SUVs recently for the 40+ miles per gallon promised by the Toyota Prius. As more appear every day on the road, it can't be denied that the Prius is a little, well, boring to look at.

Not everybody cares, but for a certain segment of the population the appearance of the Prius is a dealbreaker. For them, giving in and going green may not be as easy as it looks. Those who live in their cars, commuting week after week may want some leather seats for their ride home from the office, hence the popularity of the luxury, European, gas guzzling vehicle. No fear: the Prius is proving to be very 'pimpable'. With modern technology and a little imagination, it's possible to turn your Prius into a swan, all without damaging that awesome gas mileage.

Don't believe me? Here's proof!
