    Got this one from ebay and will be installing in the next couple of days.
    Hadn't had any mod for the past few weeks. Having withdrawal mod symptoms. Hopefully this would alleviate the delirium tremens.

    Hello new here.
    Installed tanabe nf210 & ebay 15mm wheel spacers on the back.

    FYI, don't torque the strut mount bolts 65 ft/lb. One of stud stretched and broke. Now I have to buy a new $90 stupid mount. Boo

    does it even look lowered? How long before spring settles?

    It really wasn't that bad to do just need a good heat gun and patience. I would suggest take the lights out makes it so much easier and don't go with a precut film .

    Did you do the install yourself?
    I installed sum Megan springs not to long ago and I noticed that the top mount has a colored dot on each side, does yours have the dots if so what direction are yours facing . I have an annoying screech/rubbing sound when I turn my wheel n it's driving nuts lol.

    That's nice. May i know what product are you using for the rubber undercoating? Can you show some pictures?
    Do you have to clean the plastic first then apply the coating?

    I am thinking to apply in the spare tire area, there is bare metal there. it might help.

    And one last question, at what speed, and where is the measurement, your cabin is around 53-60db?

    thanks

    Spent some quality time getting a Hitch installed on the Prius today. Eco Hitch from Torklift Central. Excellent product, once you figure out the vague instructions. Didn't need to cut as much of the plastic as the instructions instructed. Lots of other fun to be had... like first time taking a muffler off its hanger.

    After I cleaned up the plastic covers, it was actually pretty easy to reattach them, using all of the three different types of fasteners. Now I can carry 2 bikes on the Prius rack, just in time to start our biking season here in Maine.

    Picture below before I buttoned up the panels. Not great picture quality, but I didn't have the best lighting down there!

    How did you remove the three (3) bigger fasteners? I tried but it screws back in...

    Thanks VicD. I'm using Dominion Sure Seal Premium Rubberized Undercoating for both the brush and spray on variants. Not sure if it's available in the U.S. though.
    Yes I sprayed/soaped the plastic liners before the initial application and in between coats.
    I was gonna do the spare tire well but those plastic fasteners are such a pain to remove, grrr! Please let me know if you're able to remove them and how. What I did for the meantime was to glue on denim insulation to the plastic container in the trunk as well as to the liners by the wheel wells much like the OEM ones and it helps a lot.
    I get the 53db reading(s) at 60Kph but since doing the denim insulation and drove at 100Kph I averaged 56-57db.
    I'm satisfied with how quiet my interior is at the moment. My concentration now is how to kill wind noise coming across the front side and side mirrors. As soon as I get my hands on the door seals I've ordered then I can answer this concern and share it with you guys. :)

    I plasti dipped my E-Zpass. Went from bright white (very noticeable) to black. I now need to replace the white 3M Dual lock (velcro) with some black (on order).
