Customization projects for the Toyota Prius have focused on different performance and aesthetic goals. One owner modified a Prius PHV for dual use as a daily commuter and a circuit-ready sports car, utilizing TOM’S aero parts, Blitz ZZ-R coilovers, and SSR wheels, alongside a white and black wrap.

Another enthusiast, Mantaro, focused on a 60-series Prius build that emphasizes the vehicle’s original design. This approach avoids aerodynamic body kits, instead utilizing 19-inch BST2 concave wheels and custom-tuned RS-R Black i coilovers to achieve a low stance and high-speed stability while maintaining a seamless silhouette through body-colored Grazio fender components.
