    My advice is to learn how to drive sideways over bumps and up/down driveways. Get over the scraping sound of your front air dam. ;)

    i hadnt thought about that, still deciding either springs or air bags. If i go with springs ill get a conversion kits if i go with fast bags than hold off on the kit

    Bagged Prius! LOL! I think it'd be real sweet looking... Makes it harder to tow too! LOL... Most important is can you make the front end bounce with bags? Or do you need hydraulics?

    Nice. Can you take a more direct side shot of your car? I'm having a hard time deciding what size of wheels to go with...wondering if 17s will suffice or if i should go larger. Your car looks good! Also for lowering I've been looking at the coil-over sleeves from Ground Control or Skunk2. The ones for the Matrix fit our car and are 'fairly' cheap. However I came upon PRIUS70's modifying of the Strut mounts HERE... very cool stuff if you have the tools.

    Did you buy it from the priusshop here, or from elsewhere? Mind doing a quick review when it comes in? Interested in one for my 2008. While there are plenty of reviews and comments about the sharkfin, many are dated now.

    Hahha. I'm surprised they didn't put on a park bench and some spinnerz yo. ;)

    And we couldn't see if they put on coffee can exhaust.
    If you get lucky, have small hands and are able to turn the black cap easily, it's quick. For me, the darn spring clip popped off and the job turned into a several hour job w/lots of swearing as I had to finally pop off the front bumper cover. There was no way I could get the clip back on w/the room I had.
