Maybe he did the free psi mod. (42-40)

Look Carefully!

I think it's the silver valve stem caps; I have them too. They have a lower the Cd, increase your MPH, improve your MPG and can be seen from a greater distance at night. All for $1.99 from your dealer's accessory department.

Wildkow, try removing your trim rings; I'm glad I took mine off! Are you going to spring for aftermarket leather?

Thanks for posting your Prius year/model and location. Good luck with your new baby.

Why remove the trim rings?

djasonw · 01-28-2006, 08:33 AM

Depending where you live, I give you a few months before some kids steal those caps for their bicycles.

I removed ours for appearance reasons. They just "look" better IMO.

Tell me about it! I left my Galant VR-4 parked for a few days at the airport last year, only to find all 4 chrome caps missing when I came back!

Last time I do that "upgrade".

removing the trim rings may look better but it will increase your drag according to Mike (ifixem) the Prius Mechanic at Toyota of Olympia.
