Prius customization thread. Prepare your vomit emoticons

This is what happens when you're a Mercedes/Woody car fan and your work car is a Prius. Fake Zebrano wood kit. Actually very nice quality backed with 3M adhesive. The kit came with way more than I applied, including a Prius stamped glove box badge that was too ridiculous even for my poor taste. I put it somewhere else, temporarily, for the LULZ.

A bit more to come.

Any chance that we can see a Toyota Prius Country Squire in the near future?

I spent some time looking at the lines of the car, and it could work... From the mid point body contour to the windows, there's also a body contour following the window line to the headlight and the tail light. It would be a thinner strip like in an early Wagoneer.

No heat gun needed. The instructions said use your cars defroster. I put each part on the dash for 5 mins before applying, used the accelerator for the 3M adhesive, super easy.

Looks like the same company has a kit for older rangers. It is good quality.

But with the added weight, your fuel mileage will plummet from 105 to about 9.
