Multiple versions of the Kenstyle body kit are available for this 4th
generation Prius. But this one is the most advanced and we love it,
especially from the back.
Starting at the front, we notice that the bumper is
an add-on for the factory one, covering an area from about the top of the air
intake and stretching a couple of inches below where the spoiler should have
ended. The Prius also gets two additional LED strips and a grille insert.
This wouldn't be a proper Japanese tuning
project without side skirts that imitate race cars. They're beefy at the back,
and together with the stickers on the doors, they take you back to an era when
neons were used instead of LEDs. Kenstyle also offers a variety of different
wheels, these being 19s with thin 215/35R19 rubber. Oh, and they installed a
35 mm offset for this demo car.
But the rear view is where all the magic happens.
You've got a difuser in white, a black grille and a wing on top of the trunk. The chances of seeing such a body kit anywhere
outside of Japan are pretty low. That's because a 5-piece package that includes
the front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler, hood and rear wing can cost 316,000 Yen or around US$ 2,800. That's before paint, installation and any other
trinkets you might need.
