    Why would you put a spoiler on the roof? The aerodynamic flow over the roof and rear window is very very good in stock form. That spoiler will cause all kinds of turbulence.

    I haven't noticed any difference while driving. If it happens then I'll just remove it, no biggie. Thanks for the heads up though

    The car is sitting on Eibachs. The stretch of the tire (215 on 8.5) gives it the illusion that it's not lowered. I need more low or opt for 225 instead of 215 to visually fill out the fender.

    It's not likely you will notice a mpg difference unless you are an extreme hypermiler. :)

    it is totally expensive imo too... but at the same time it can make a pretty big difference to the look of your car. really sets it apart from others.

    man I wish i lived in cali so i wasn't alone in these projects... there are a ton of Prius in Northern VA (all commuters into DC)... but not one with any mods... well, maybe the random plasti-dipped emblem but that's about it.

    Haha Nice. I travel 95 everyday. Commute from Fredericksburg VA to National Harbor MD... but c'mon, admit it, do you ever see another Prius around here with mods? Plenty of stock to go around though.

    I used my ATEQ QuickSet today to reprogram TPMS sensors. So easy to reprogram the ECU my 2 yr old could do it.

    I do also have a spare TPMS ECU/brain box/module (whatever you want to call it) that I thought about using instead and returning the ATEQ. I decided to keep the ATEQ because you can store the data for up to four vehicles at a time or use it ad a tool to help a buddy reprogram theirs.

    I'll be posting it FS if anyone wants to use the TPMS module swap method.

    Just spent a couple of hours hanging out at my friends' tint shop, Digi Sports in San Diego, and got my tail lights tinted! Love the difference! They were tinting a brand new black Prius C when I was there too! The driver was super friendly and we were chatting about her car and mine. Oh, and she was really pretty too (which is always a plus)!

    Had all my windows tinted from them a month back and wanted to come back to finish off the look!

    Hit them up if you're in San Diego and need tint, alarm, stereo, clear bra, car wraps, or badminton and tennis supplies. Website is Digi Sports | San Diego | California. Tell them Phi with the white Prius sent you and they'll hook it up!

    I also got my Hybrid Nation decal/sticker, a solution to my cup holder problem for rear passengers when there are three people in the back, chrome license plate holder to match the rear emblem, and a foldable cargo holder! image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    I ride down to Sterling from Pa and see the same through Md and Va...all stock. Admittedly, got a little excited when I once saw a Plus one a few months ago. Agreed, the E coast isn't nearly as big on modding Prii as the West. I look forward to doing rims and springs on vacation in a few weeks and becoming a little different.
