Oh the things you can do with a Prius!

Filed under: Etc., Hybrid, Toyota

Our colleagues at Autoblog found a very tacky remarkable Prius: Painted in gold and green (maybe to ressemble an orange, a sour one) it's a creature made by Kustom Kar King George Barris. This Prius was done by Barris and shown at SEMA last year. Autoblog did a post on it way back in 2005 and they have nicknamed it "Proboscis Prius".

So this Prius, besides the green hybrid powerplant has the following specs: 2-inch stretched wheelwells and eyebrow-style flares to accommodate a set of American Racing 18-inch chrome wheels. The wheels have green centers and are wrapped in BF Goodrich low-profile tires (where are the low-rolling tires gone?). The paint is hand detailed with pinstripes and teardrops. There's even a ducktail spoiler out back. Oh, did we mention the car is has some green paint, as well?
