Caught some of these photos over at Speedhunters. If you love your Prius, and you’re looking for some inspiration to customize it (interior or exterior wise), I think these pictures will do.
Interested? Juicedhybrid is the best place to start.

Aston Martin’s debut in the LMP1 class at Le Mans this year coincides with a number of rule changes – posing another challenge to the British team as it gears up for its campaign at the La Sarthe circuit on the 13-14 June.
Aston Martin Racing will enter three Gulf-liveried LMP1 prototypes, powered by the same production-derived V12 engine that has given the Aston Martin DBR9 victory in the GT1 class at the 24 Hours for the last two years.
Some even more far-reaching changes are set to be introduced for the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2010, allowing homologation of hybrid technology cars, encouraging further use of hybrid technology such as KERS and reducing carbon emissions.
KERS is the acronym for Kinetic Energy Recharging System. Best known in the Prius which uses the technology under braking to recharge the hybrid battery packs.
Aston Martin Racing Team Principal George Howard-Chappell commented: “The changes to the rules mean that the emphasis has switched to getting more out all aspect of the car. In the end these new rules just provide another set of numbers to compute: they don’t make a fundamental difference to the unique challenge of the race.”

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — JuicedHybrid.com, a sponsor in the Sprint Cup Series with Hall of Fame Racing’s No. 96 car, is joining together with Hall of Fame to further the team’s green initiative.
In an effort to offset the No. 96 team’s carbon footprint, a green associate sponsorship partnership was developed for the first 18 races of the Sprint Cup season among Hall of Fame Racing, Ask.com — primary sponsor on the No. 96 car — and JuicedHybrid.com, the leading supplier of auto accessories for hybrid cars and trucks.
“As a hybrid automotive accessories business that really cares about the environment, we are excited to expand our green initiative into NASCAR with the support of Ask.com, Hall of Fame Racing and Ford,” said Paul Goldman, JuicedHybrid.com’s chief executive officer. “Not only does this initiative allow us to offset the carbon emissions of the No. 96 team, but it provides us a platform to bring this vital message to the attention of NASCAR’s 75 million fans.”
The program will measure and offset carbon emissions for the No. 96 Sprint Cup entry during each practice session, qualifying session and the race. It will also offset the carbon emissions for the No. 96 transporter and Bobby Labonte‘s travel to and from each NASCAR race.
Carbon offset is a certificate representing the reduction of one metric ton (2,205 pounds) of carbon dioxide emissions, the principal cause of global warming.
“Our company is proud to be part of NASCAR and to support this important step in helping the industry make progress in protecting the environment,” said Jim Safka, Ask.com chief executive officer.
The amount of the emissions created during standard racing activities of the No. 96 Ford will be offset through investments made by Ask.com and Juicedhybrid.com in clean energy projects such as solar energy and wind farms by purchasing credits though TerraPass. These projects result in verified reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
In support of additional efforts to address the environment, NASCAR is developing an industry-wide green initiative led by Dr. Mike Lynch. The initiative will include the sport’s various stakeholders and will seek to mobilize the NASCAR fan base in this important issue.
