There are three separate body kits available that offer varying levels of flair: Modellista Versions 1 and 2 and an Aero Tourer Kit. We're not so sure the exterior bits from the Aero Tourer kit actually improve the car's looks any, but perhaps they improve its already stellar aerodynamics somewhat.br /br /Questionable aesthetics aside, there's also a few aftermarket bits that could potentially improve the car's handling performance, like optional 16-inch alloy wheels and a new set of springs that lower ride height by 20 millimeters. At this point, it's not expected that Toyota will import any of these kits outside of Japan, but, if you're really interested, there's always eBay.br /br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/"2010 Toyota Prius Modellista kits/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/2028808/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/05/toyota_prius_modellista_11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/2028799/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/05/toyota_prius_modellista_01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/2028809/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/05/toyota_prius_modellista_02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/2028801/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/05/toyota_prius_modellista_03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/2010-toyota-prius-modellista-kits/2028800/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/05/toyota_prius_modellista_04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: a href="http://www.modellista.co.jp/product/prius/"Modellista/a via a href="http://www.leblogauto.com/2009/05/modellista-prius-3.html"Le Blog Auto/a]p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/22/toyota-unleashes-2010-prius-modellista-aero-kits/"Toyota unleashes 2010 Prius Modellista aero kits/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Fri, 22 May 2009 14:27:00 EST.
