    Dropped by @sfv41901 pad to install G headlights. Clean work, as usual! Hit him up if you need mods done.

    So now you have 2 sets of LED running lights? I noticed you have the turn signal/LED DRLs/foglights as well.

    Busy weekend.

    Finally upgraded to the 24mm front sway bar on my 2007...makes SUCH a difference.

    Here is the link. I got them for $139.90 vs $109.90. The $139.90 light up the whole bar. The $109.90 only light up PRIUS, I think. I had to do a little modification on the passenger rear side. The screw didn't fit.Wasn't a big deal. Wiring was a pain. @sfv41901 did a super job on that. Figuring out the correct wire to tap is tough. There are no instruction that come with it. Each door will light up when open.

    Started figuring out my layout for my air. I think I'm gonna run something like this hidden in my trunk area above the spare tire well. Nothing is mounted but basic idea of what it may look like.

    Nice, is the pump very loud? I've been slightly looking at a bag setup for my car, not so i can drop it to the frame but the convenience of adjustable height within seconds. Plus, i've heard that you can increase the pressure of some systems and make the ride tighter or softer.. perfect for a sport suspension or if your just cruising.

    Yeah I heard that too, different compressors are rated to different psi. That's the reason I'm doing it really so I can park and lay frame and not be limited to where I am able to drive. I don't want to have to turn around and go another way if something is to steep or a speed bump is to big.Oh also sorry to answer your question I'm not sure about the compressors though. I've never ran an air system before. I don't think they will be to bad though under there providing a sound barrier. Also I have two compressors so they won't be running very long when they do come on. I rode in my boys bagged car it was in a box and in his trunk and I didn't hear it at all. But that also wasn't a hatchback.

    How's the light output compared to halogen fog lights? Not sure if I should get these or have projector fog lights retrofitted with 55w hids. This would be significantly cheaper.

    Led's are brighter, also wider light output coverage. Projector hids will definitely be brighter than leds.

    Got my Prius last week, so this is basically my 2nd post. But for my first mod, noticed the blue backing behind the emblem was just thick glossy paper. So i found this dark navy blue Plasti Dip for the Emblems, and then bought 80lb glossy photo paper and clear gloss for outdoor use to make the backings. I scanned the front and back, uploaded to Photoshop, then basically just played with the hue/saturation and used magic wand tool for making a carbon fiber and "Pixar's Up" version :)

    I'll post them mounted tomorrow. I haven't added the outdoor gloss yet.

    Tint is all done. 5% all around with the sunstrip on windshield.

    Was quoted $250 for the roof in 3m gloss black. Eventually will get it done.
