    Hey, thanks for the close up. It looks to have a blue tint. That looks good. Dropping off the Prius today to have the windows tinted and the caps should be there by the time I pick up.
    Did you lower your car? If so, How?
    Thanks Chawz

    Actually haven't done anything to the suspension, all stock there. And for the blue tint I think it was some kind of reflection in the background.

    Just picked up my ride from the shop with the windows tinted and installed the center caps. Looks good for now. Priced the lowering springs at $400+ labor and $400 parts. Will be holding off for now.
    Thanks again

    I bought the above center caps. The were way too small to stay in the center hole. I bought some of the 1 1/2" knockout plugs. I removed the tabs off the center caps, drilled a pattern of six small holes in the plugs, and glued them together using JB Weld (The holes were to allow some of the epoxy to bleed through). I just put them on and hope the glue holds. It seems like it will. I think it looks very sharp.....I'm happy!

    The caps look great in black, I just wished they fit better. I bought the Toyota center caps and they popped right in and look good for fake chrome. I also had a lady apply a 1/4" wide blue pinstrip to the lip of the stock black aluminum wheels. Looks good! Check out the pic!

    Those look like TRD caps bought of EBAY plus bolts that could be bought off ebay for even cheaper. The caps range anywhere from 20-50 bucks. Not worth it IMO. If you send me some blank ones I can print a decal for $15 buck shipped. Just PM me

    Where can we get black lugs for the stock wheels? First time I've seen those... (haven't looked too hard either)...
