Sep 8 2008Seeing Is Believing: That Somebody Actually Decided To Pimp Out A Freaking Prius

Yep, somebody pimped out a Prius. To the max. The thing has 20" rims, inverted Koenigsegg doors, what appears to be an ion cannon, a billion speakers, a couple computers, alien technology, an engine, and seats. Allegedly, the powertrain is the only thing left unmodified. Wow. I mean, wow. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting a Prius in the first place, doesn't it? Seriously, WWJD were you thinking?
Hit the jump for a worthwhile video of the thing, and start around 2:00 for the good stuff.

Customized Prius proves that hybrids and common sense do not correlate [autobloggreen]
Thanks to Dan, who once pimped out a Neon for the night and made $60.

No side mirror, not street legal
7. SmokingGirl - September 8, 2008 5:52 PM
HA! Hahahahahahahahahaha...oh man. Hehe.
You know what a Prius sounds like as it drives past you?
"iiiiiiiiiiiii'mmmmmmmmgay" And this car makes that just oh so true.
And they'll totally be cool when they crank those 4 cylinders into high gear; those squirrels will be screaming! So hot, like, flamingly hot.
8. Fluffernutter - September 8, 2008 6:02 PM
Weak, just like this comment.
9. mowzah - September 8, 2008 6:44 PM
this guy will be shunned by both the elitist prius owners AND his fellow ride-pimpers. maybe his mom loves him? it's a stretch, i know
10. douchnozzle - September 8, 2008 7:26 PM
this car sucks it hard
11. Llama - September 8, 2008 7:27 PM
I love the outside...It's different from most other cars I've seen that do the outside. Or maybe I just don't look around enough. In anycase thumbs up.
12. Miles - September 8, 2008 7:46 PM
A lot of work and money for not a lot of payoff.
13. theotheraaron - September 8, 2008 8:07 PM
thats the prettiest ugly car i've ever seen!
14. Antonio - September 8, 2008 8:16 PM
I think the car definitely looks nice, but are those seats really necessary? or even the seat belts for that matter. I mean because it's not going to be rollin' at F1 speeds or anything.
15. CaptainMorgan - September 8, 2008 8:16 PM
I look at the car and have to ask: What would Jesus do?
Would he ACTUALLY let this guy live? Or should he be struck down? I vote for the latter and then destroy the car.
16. ra1n - September 8, 2008 9:02 PM
thats awesome, but the fact that its a prius ruins everything
17. Nancy - September 8, 2008 9:14 PM
WTF is WWJD?????
18. Mike Hawk - September 8, 2008 9:33 PM
I finally saw a car lamer than my blown out 06 mustang V-6. With as much shit as I get for it, I feel like sending this guy a get well soon card or something....
19. Dan - September 8, 2008 10:15 PM
I don't know why all of you people are hating on the Prius? It's a nice car, and the mileage it gets makes up for the uncoolness... Besides, I personally love the shape of the car, modified or not.
20. conti027 - September 9, 2008 1:16 AM
Someone needs to be shot.
21. Peregrinus - September 9, 2008 3:01 AM
Damn shame. Poor Swedes, and they tried so hard.
22. djcorbijn - September 9, 2008 4:01 AM
I don't care if people take offense to this however this looks like every other "tricked" out car. So what that it's a Prius. Anyone who tricks out a car yet blasts this car is a douche. What, only Honda and Mitsubishi can be the "too fast & furious cars"? I actually think this guy did a decent job, at least it's more conceptual than your typical street racer car. People do this same shit to a Scion. At least he isn't going with the mainstream f***s and I give him credit for that.
23. Ginormagantuan - September 9, 2008 4:32 AM
damn..... this ....... is....... stil...... so........ GHEY!
wow WWJD next? DONK OUT A YARIS?????
24. djcorbijn - September 9, 2008 5:48 AM
Most guys who banter on about gay things are closet nut lickers themselves. Homophobes, gotta love em'. Ever tried suckin yer own dick? Probably to a poster of Vin Deisel.
25. http://webescape.wordpress.com/ - September 9, 2008 5:49 AM
Yeah cos that is going to make EVERYONE want one... how sad.
26. Ginormagantuan - September 9, 2008 7:06 AM
heheheh most people that get their panties in a bunch about how someone is a homophobe or thinks things are gay looking are 99% of the time the gay kid that used to get picked on at school, now trying to come up with some clever way of calling dickheads like myself a homo, nice try though......... the thing about the vin Diesel poster......... QUIT POSTING YOUR FANTASIES, you made yourself sound a little iffy there...........
27. Ginormagantuan - September 9, 2008 7:09 AM
I mean...... If i see two dudes on a tandem bike and one is wearing pink spandex and a see through shirt, and the other is wearing daisy dukes and a tube top, what are they looking like? NOT MANLY! sooo.......... get where I'm going with this?
28. Anonymous_swede - September 9, 2008 7:19 AM
It's one of the most ugly thing to ever hit a car show BUT the worst part is that Swedish television actually turned the building process into a reality show for 10 freakin“ episodes. C'mon!
29. KURT - September 9, 2008 8:21 AM
The coolest thing was the doors, until I saw them opening...that sht should be all automatic and glide out and back like that without having to touch them.
All you people harpin on the Prius though, c'mon, it's an efficient car and it has a wonderful shape and personality to it. Also I am very gay.
30. Clem - September 9, 2008 9:04 AM
Prius - $22000
Customizatiosn - $60000
Total value of car - $9
31. TE - September 9, 2008 9:11 AM
Doesn't look any dumber than most overly-decorated cars. A pimped econobox is a pimped econobox.
32. butterbee - September 9, 2008 9:42 AM
This is kinda what I think of when I think of "euro-trash".
33. Benjamin Tudino - September 9, 2008 9:44 AM
Isn't this the car from Never Back Down?
34. Bleh - September 9, 2008 9:45 AM
The best part of a prius is when you have to replace the battery pack. $5K for a battery pack on one of those. If you live where its hot (AZ, TX) you get 1-2 years out of one. And where do those batteries go, landfill.
GG environutjobs, less carbon but WAYYYYYYYYY more leads and heavy metals into our water supply
35. Erik - September 9, 2008 10:50 AM
@17
"WWJD" = "What Would Jesus Do?" Yeah. Lame.
The Prius, ehh. It doesn't look like you can actually see out the windshield, and that TV screen mounted in the middle support column between the passenger and driver (at 2:45/driver and 4:15/passenger), but angled at like 45 degrees ... WTF?
36. Right Fury - September 9, 2008 10:51 AM
Way to go sweden! now you get added to the "axis of evil"
Don't say we didn't warn you.
37. Thumperchica - September 9, 2008 11:01 AM
This has inspired me to put ground effects on my Schwinn...
@Smoking Girl- It's not complete w/o the lil yappy dog and x-mas decor in rear window...
38. jahlew - September 9, 2008 11:31 AM
why does he have a passenger seat? no one else would get in it.
39. guate6 - September 9, 2008 12:49 PM
Now I've done crazy things to my car, but this takes the cake...it takes all the cakes and all the fondant.
But also, I understand the sense of doing something crazy, creative, novel, and pointless simply because you can...I've done it before and might continue. It looks as though it's difficult to see out the front windshield...wonder if it's still street legal or simply for competition/show purposes...I'll say the only thing I don't like are the inverted Koenigsegg doors. They're too impractical.
40. Momboelitist - September 9, 2008 2:19 PM
I have a question:
Why?
41. Icon - September 10, 2008 12:36 PM
@40
Well, huh, might as, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good? Man, firecrackers, ya stick 'em in mailboxes, you drop 'em in toilets, shove 'em up bullfrogs asses!
42. Alexandra - September 10, 2008 1:25 PM
"I don't know why all of you people are hating on the Prius?"
Jealousy that they cannot afford one, and keep having to pay through their arses at the pump. It's as simple as that. My boyfriend owns one and we laugh at the idiots who still drive their gas guzzlers. Welcome to the 21st century.
But *this* Prius is pretty tacky...
43. Right Fury - September 10, 2008 2:40 PM
Thats funny alexandra. Because we all laugh at YOU!
You dumbshit. You could have bought a 4cyl ford focus for about half the price that gets about the same mileage.
You'd still be just as dorky, but you could have donated the money to charity you saved on the cheaper car.
Now, you're a smug dork. And another thing, I can't afford to buy a go-kart (Prius) but I CAN afford to put 85bucks 2x a week in my tank to fill it up? Welcome to math, you self righteous dung pile.
44. djcorbijn - September 11, 2008 4:46 AM
@ Ginormagantuan:
When you say misogynistic things directed at homosexuals, that usually means you are one. You seem to have experience with panties getting in binds, watching things like "i see two dudes on a tandem bike and one is wearing pink spandex and a see through shirt, and the other is wearing daisy dukes and a tube top," that probably means you like to get tea-bagged. See where I'm going with this? Also, how can an inanimate object have a sexual identity issue? See where I'm going with this? I've never seen anything like the bike thing you so vividly described, it's almost like a fantasy. Do you live in a neighborhood where this happens a bit or do you just find those places? Do you see what I mean? Do you have the "boys gone wild" dvd's or were you in one? Actually what your posting is more on the lines of a pedophile.
I think all tricked out cars are the same and to each his own. I just find the argument of what can and cannot be tricked out redundant. I personally don't really like tricked out cars however I can see the fun in it. Reverse engineering is cool however I like cars that look how they were originally designed. Most of those who trick out cars and do this are really talented artists. It probably take more of an artist to trick out a Prius than your typical Honda.
I think it's wonderful when individuals like you spew this crap out of your gob then wonder why people poke fun at you. If you don't wonder, that's another state of denial. Just for the record, what do you drive you fun and festive dude? I have a '68 Beetle that I restored to look as original as possible except for the stereo. Chicks love it, does great on gas and I've probably been f***ed by gorgeous chicks in it than you have teeth in your mouth. Put your Ginorma.whatever on the table. Did you tint your windows yourself so it looks like purple bubble wrap?
45. djcorbijn - September 11, 2008 4:58 AM
@ Right Fury
Putting $85 bucks twice a week for gas isn't something to brag about. That's just f***ing stupid. That much money can get you a lot of internet porn so you can get your "right fury" on. Do you also have a car loan with an unreal interest rate that you brag about too?
46. Thumperchica - September 11, 2008 10:14 AM
@ Alexandra -
The irony here is that you are talking about someone else not being able to afford a Prius, while your mooching ass rides around in the car your FRIEND paid for. You = Fail
@djcorbin -
You sound jealous of his neighborhood... did they kick you out of the YMCA again?
And you obviously didn't connect the $85 comment with the point. If you can afford to put that much gas in your car, you could afford a Prius.
