    Does the lip increase your gas mileage?

    Makes sense. Less air going under the car means less aerodynamic drag.

    Not $99 anymore. Since a month or so ago prices went up to $125-$135

    I'll wait for a price drop before I buy it

    Lol photo shop pic, the dead giveaway is the rear axle, when you drop a car with rear trailer bar it does not tilt outward, it just drops straight down.

    hope my answer puts a relieving rest to the discussion, here is what I found ;)

    He isn't a PC member, but I did mention him to join though. I found him on Instagram and he recently got the Front lip for his Pri. He has the post-face change model as well. here are his results. Its not the snug/flush fit I would want personally, but hope this helps others to deciding whether or not to get it for their '13-'15 Pri.

    There's a couple companies that make camber plates that bolt onto the axle hubs to provide static camber to the rear beam where the hubs bolt onto.

    Yup, that was me. I haven't logged into this site for a long while now!
    So I got this thing mounted, but it certainly would fit the 2010-2011 better. But I think I made it work. After picking it up, I really nailed it with a heat gun to make it fit as good as I could.

    I'll be sure to post pictures soon.

    So here it is when I was just dry fitting(you can see that it was held up with a socket wrench). I needed to lift the car up to get under and drill holes. There is a very slight gap that pops out right under the fog lights that is very difficult to see; clearly the difference in fitment between 2010-2011/2012+. You can see it from the front angle shot. If needed, I can take better shots(without the wrench!) when the weather clears up.

    That actually fits better than I imagined. Do you have picture of the finished product? Does the lip have mounting spots? If so, did you use them or did you make your own spots?

    Thanks!
