When it comes to hybrid cars, there are many players in the game but the Prius is leading the pack. It would make sense for tuning companies to focus their efforts more towards hybrids. Kenstyle is no different, recently they announced the shipping of their newest aero package for the lastest version of the Toyota Prius. While aero styling really comes down to aesthetic choice, I believe it well worth it to look into it if you own a new Prius.

DAMD has release a new body styling package that raises the bar on the Wagon R’s aesthetics. The kit features modification to the front and rear valences, side skirts,  rear wing, and I what I consider to be a landmark grille. DAMD has consulted with RSR to complete the look by adding an appropriate stance to match the luxury styling.

3DDesign is well known for their polished offerings for BMWs and Minis. Their latest includes a three gauge pod for BMW’s Z4. Positioned directly in front of the shifter, it allows a direct view of all three gauges to the driver. If you have made modifications to your Z4 that need monitoring, I would consider this as an option. 3DDesign has very similar units for other vehicle models.
