Sketchy details. For 35K I want comprehensive build pictures.

Love the concept, though.

For $35k he cant tell us what transmission or rear end are in the car? Anyone who puts "Styling" and "Underglow" not under his own "ICE" catagory is someone with whom I will not do business.

Also note that the four-point harness is filed under "styling" next to the "underglow"... Ugh.

Strangely, not in atlanta. Have to say, I don't hate the look of it, if it's legit.

The guy would have to write a better ad if he wanted to sucker... er, persuade me to buy it, but I like the concept. The thought of a Prius turning its rear tires to smoke makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Wait, somebody makes a body kit for a Prius?

"After it made 603whp. I'm estimating close to 900 with spray." - a 300 nitrous shot? Really?

Also, I read "because of so many offers I increased the price," as "I deserve many swift kicks to the groinal area."

I like the look of that thing too but I seriously doubt the seller is smart enough to be the builder.

Yeah, a few Japanese companies do.... I forget who they are off the top of my head. I wanna say Veilside is one of em.

how can you possibly list a total drivetrain swapped car like that without a single picture even showing that there is anything but prius crap underhood?

Ive looked at many a prius and thought "Hey, I bet theres a lot of swap possibilities and good looks hiding under that eco-dork facade..."

apparently I was right, that thing looks delicious...

This. Not one single pic showing the engine? I call shens.

I sent him an email asking for engine, and underbody drivetrain shots. I was polite, let's see if he's willing to prove he's not full of E36 M3.

Looks awesome. But $35k!!!!! Holy E36 M3. I bet there is no LS7 under there.

Probably got flagged by all the treehuggers looking for a recycled (used) Prius.

Gotta keep the environment in balance...

Would be neat though, seeing this out run a police cruiser in the HOV lane

For those interested, i think it was a Tommy Kaira body kit. Pretty good looking IMO

What that thing needs is an environmentally-friendly big-turbo rotary engine under the hood! That would set the granola munchers a-howling!

In reply to 1988RedT2:

agreed, I think an LSAnything under that hood is the definition of overkill.
