One thing that's been kicking around in my head; what's the approximate weight of all the metal you've cut off the Prius and the approximate weight of the Firebird shell going on? I do know that the curb weight of the Prius is close to that of the original Firebird (3,274 vs. 3390 for a hardtop car). The reason I ask is in regards to the brakes on the Prius. If the weight of what came off and what's going on is close to the same, I know there shouldn't be an issue. However, if the Firebird shell is heavier, I would think an upgrade would be in order. Since I know so little about the Prius platform, does anyone even make a brake upgrade kit for one?
