Pimp your Prius, Tommy Kaira style


Tommy Kaira has some body kits out in Japan already; however, these new ones will include more pieces. So far, Tommy Kaira is working on a few different designs (seen below). They are expected to include front spoilers, side skirts, grill trims and rear aprons that house a diffuser. In some of the photos, the kits are either fully or partially made out (or trimmed) of carbon fiber.


Tommy Kaira has also stated that the aero packages will be combined with a lowering kit and 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 215/40/R18 tires that will be offered in various designs. A new exhaust system with quad tailpipes will also be offered.
