It is a little on the heavy side, but I am working up a plan to do one of these. I have a pretty solid EV system that I am getting pretty experienced with (as seen in my third conversion thread) so I have a pretty good idea of what kind of results to expect. Right now I am researching the different generations and years of the Prius to find out which one would benefit me the most. Who knows, maybe we will see a Prius sometime in the future terrorizing the left lane here in Sacramento...
