Go on the Prius forums, most of them on there have body kits...

Here's a Kenstyle bodykit!




Also, Chrome wheels are also a big hit on the Priuses.

I know they are aero, but so are penguins and they are at least cute. If I remember correctly, Mercedes took the same shape and made it look pretty decent. They even had a few painted up like fish (or was that a parody?).
