    Yeah, I got that, was just hoping someone knew if you could get the trim bits aftermarket somehow besides finding a junked persona.

    Did the add a fuse so my DRL’s are on at the ready. For about a month I was ready to trade my hybrid in on a Explorer Platinum but decided to fall in love with my baby again. Head unit and wheels are next.

    Less what I did to it, and more what I did with it. Autocross today!

    I got this little trash can. It doesn't match, but it's on the driver's side. All the one's I find are for the passenger side (Japanese driver's side). Waited a month and a half for this, so yeah, I'm pretty stoked.

    Suprisingly fun! I have Tien lowered springs, TRD rear sway bar, UltraRacing rear strut bar, Cusco front strut bar and 17 inch Volks wheels with Continental all weathers on.

    The tires need to be upgraded to proper autocross tires, but it was great all around! You can see in the score sheet, I beat a Corvette and a 2016 Golf GTI!

    Discovered B mode is a must to keep the engine spooled, and with the rear chassis stiffening I did I discovered I can get the car fully sideways around the hairpin cones if I want to! Unfortunately it seemed to negatively impact my time, as fun as it was. The understeer was managable, but I think better tires will eliminate that problem.

    So throw it in B mode.. and PWR mode .. and then have at it eh? I used to autocross way back in early 2000's.. had a Celica GTS and then a WRX. I'd be interested in trying it in the Prius :)

    Yep! I forgot to charge the battery before one of my runs and came in a few soconds slower.

    Before your run shift to drive, hit the brake and floor the throttle. After a few minutes it will stop charging at two bars from full.

    A lot of people were amazed at how well the Prius performed, and were shocked to find out I didn't have an engine swap or some sort of turbo installed (I wish).

    I can safely say the car performs well!
