    Based off of a 2012 CT200h, the accelerator & brake pedals are identical to the Prii however the deadpedal is different.

    Looking at these Prius G pedals, do you think they will work?

    I was looking at those too. A little too rich for my blood at the moment. I'd rather get a Lexon lip or something with that money.

    It looks like it will but being a RHD, not 100% sure about the accelerator

    Where do you guys buy Prius G parts from?

    Also has anyone painted there factory radio antenna as opposed to buying a shark fin? I just can't see spending $115 for a piece of plastic and possibly effect my radio reception.

    That's $115 for a little piece of style.

    I get all my G's stuff from buyee.jp.
    But there are other ways.

    To expand a little bit on my earlier reply, I have bookmarked a buyee.jp search on this phrase: ZVW30 G's
    That will reveal to you a world of G-Sports goodies which will change your life.

    Oooh did you paint the top part of the G's bumper? It looks a lot cleaner with the dark hood.

    Engine Cover 2.JPG Engine Cover1.JPG

    What a pain to install engine cover with the Cusco Strut Tower Brace & Strut Bar without removing everything. I only remove the Cusco Strut Tower Brace & Strut Bar. Area very tight especially the driver side. Not a lot of room to work with but I managed. Be very careful not to drop the washer and screws. Use a magnetic to catch it just in case.

    I wonder if that Cusco strut bar is going to interfere with the scheduled maintenance, that I generally let the dealership garage do.

    Nope. It's fine. Unless they have to change the spark plugs. The engine cover has to be taken out which meant the bar has to be remove. I did my 30K maintenance few weeks ago.

    Oh man really? There is no way to get the engine cover off without having to take of the bar to get to the spark plugs? Oh boy.

    If I knew that I might have just stayed away from this upgrade.

    Reason I got cusco over tanabe was because I thought cusco has no interference with anything that someone has to get into.

    I guess only mention was the fuse box. Really did not think much about the engine cover being inaccesible.:(

    My 30k maintenance is due in another 5k. I suppose I'll take my strut-bar out before I drop it off at the shop.
