IT’S ONLY JUST gone on sale in Japan, but already Toyota has wheeled out a few of its own aftermarket parts for the 2010 Prius.
Sold under Toyota’s Modellista brand, the bodykits range from the super-mild Modellista Version 1 and Version 2, to the slightly outrageous Aero Tourer S kit. All three of them lend the Prius a more dynamic edge, but even with the Aero Tourer’s unique front bumper design and its attendant sideskirts and rear bumper lip the Prius is still, well, a Prius.
There are also some chrome accents, alloy-look mirror covers, alloy wheels and an interior garnish kit on offer. And, for those individuals looking to improve the performance of their Prius, Toyota offers a set of lowered sports springs in its Modellista catalogue.
Don’t count on the Modellista goodies being on sale Downunder anytime soon, as these are strictly a Japanese market-only thing. Would anyone want these dress-ups? Well, as with any aesthetic assessment, that’s entirely subjective.

The aero kit makes it look surprisingly similar to the current Honda Civic sedan…hmm
Not bad, not bad at all. It never stops making me sad how much our Toyota is a pale shadow of its parent… cars like the Crown, aftermarket support like TRD… sigh!
