    I really want to order one... it'll have to wait though. Need a few other parts first.

    So... I finally received this...
    My inputs

    1. You need to open the holes first by your own measurement. Not rocket science but, make sure to match the center of each screw bump in the plastic lip.
    2. There are 2 holes you will need to open for the bumper retainer clips, make sure these are aligned.
    3. I used double sided tape alongside screws to secure it (the screws are the ones that were supporting the OEM air dam)
    4. I used additional screws (included, self tapping style) to improve the fix and alignment of the lip. (did not want to do at first, but the end result was great, and it was sturdy)
    Lost a few pics, but here are most of em:

    Almost all customizations are done during lunch times, by the time I usually get home everything is pitch dark. Also... the company rents half a building, but all of us would barely fill one parking floor (5 in total) ... so we use two parking spaces when fixing cars (almost every day).

    Funny thing since, I work with mainframes...

    Alright I know I am bringing back an older thread here but for people like me looking for ANYONE else that has put this lip on a 2013 and up... heres a few more pictures of the fit on it. I did have it painted black to match my car. Install was fairly easy as @GeorgeM269 described. Drill some holes in the tabs on the lip that match the factory bumper tabs and use the self tappers to button up anything else that seems a bit loose onto the front bumper. Its a tight fit but the finished product I think is really nice.

    If anyone has any questions feel free to ask here or shoot me a message!

    Wow it looks awesome when painted, I might consider sanding and painting it in the future. Thanks for sharing @Jessemkane

    BTW, two things.

    1. this lip is very sturdy, I have bumped it several times and it has endured it all, minor curb rash only noticeable by hand.
    2. I fixed the pics, seems they got lost ... thanks @jepsprius23

    Can you provide the link where you purchased the one that fits 2013 - 15 Prius?

    Thanks.

    That one was modified to fit the 2012 and up. 2012 Pri got a slight facelift and the front changed a little so that lip is for 2011 and under

    That's too bad that they don't make a 2013+ lip. Would the modification be hard to do?

    If I'm not mistaken, the modification is not hard per se, but you will need a heat gun to shape the lip to the 2012+ lines.

    The end result and how he got there using a product that wasn't meant for his car are two different things.
