    Is the Lexus one the same as the one available on eBay? Will the Lexus CT200h fit our Prii?

    I have the Lexus covers on my prius. Can't say 100% that the Lexus & eBay covers are the same.

    I picked up a bored out throttle body from @RightOnTime last week. It went from 55mm to 58mm. Just got it installed. Also bypassed the coolant lines on the throttle body.

    10 min install. Butt dyno feels a difference

    Nice, so bypassing coolant line does the opposite, right? Prevents heating/warming of the TB so air intake is denser and more fuel can be burned = more power = less mpg?

    Larger bore in TB also for more air, theoretically?

    Edit: Also, how many miles were on the old TB, and how dirty was it? Trying to gauge when ours will need to be cleaned. :)

    I got bumper plugs to fill in the holes and carmate cup holders.

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    I had to modify the cup holders by replacing the double stick tape with Velcro. Otherwise pretty satisfied with it's design.

    Love my new headlights and garnish. Thanks again, @sfv41901!

    Fortunately that pink mustache pays me well enough to support my family, pay my mortgage, and support my hobbies...so the mustache stays...lol.
