    Thank you so much Rodney for your contributions so far! I love your car so far and secretly wish I had your car over mine haha.

    The major thing I would like to know about right now are the lowering springs you used. I know the brand and the model you listed. But when i checked their website, I did not find a set for the Prius. My best guess is that you bought the Yaris set instead?

    ^^ Tein make a set of Htechs for the Prius. They don't have their coilovers listed though for the USDM Version however, Tein USA says that they should fit no problem if you want coilovers over springs.

    @Rodney....I've installed the led signal lights/drl... but have not wired the white LEDs yet (just the signal lights are working right now).... will post pics of it once I wired the white led part..... on the headlights.. I have no plans of getting one right now.....

    @blkghost..... thanks for info.....

    @Quikmr2.. the lights you want is listed 89,800 yen + 1,800 yen shipping to Japan..... then you have to add shipping from Japan to US....... + some fees that my friend in Japan would charge.....

    Hey bino where did you pick these up at? Have you installed them?

    Also Rodney, can you post up pictures of your drl setup during the day and a picture of the lights you run at night? I'm curious to see how they look now. Thanks!

    Rodney,

    After having an extensively modified xb, I decided to keep the prius relatively mild. I too went the jdm/VIP route as you are, but with my xb. I think I'll throw some lightweight 17" rims, Hids, tint, Clazzio seat covers and other small things. I'm still debating whether or not I even want to lower the car.

    Just yesterday I drove my danger wagon after driving the prius for a week, and I couldn't help but realize how uncomfortable the ride was. Color me spoiled lol

    HEY KARLO !!!

    :):):):)

    Those are some nice shots of the Danger Wagon and the Prius !!!

    I want to see if we can integrate more "Toyotas" in the "Scion"shows in 2011, I think it would bring more variety and attendance to the events !!!

    I go to school out in Irvine ...

    Where in OC are ya ??!!

    Rodney,

    Thanks a lot man, I actually live right on the oc/la border where the 57/60 freeways meet but I work in the ie. Id love to get together with the other local boys sometime and maybe bounce some ideas around and check out your cars. Like I said, I'm still unsure if I want to modify my suspension. I probably need to see a lowered prius up close to make my decision

    My Gen II is lowered and I'd do it all over again. The Prius definitely needs to be lowered, especially if you buy new rims.
