    We just drive our 2010 Prius with 141,000 miles on the clock. We go fishing,hunting and go on trips. Plenty of room for my wife and I. We also have a 2014 Volt, wifes car, and she drives all week, 32 mile roundtrip to her business, and uses no gas. I call the Prius a car that gets motorcycle gas mileage...

    I've generally been a little bit skeptical about the benefits of body stiffening bars. I've always imagined that you'd have to be pushing your car to the edge of the envelope to notice an improvement in handling. But this G-Sport brace set has surprised me.

    After adding those diagonal braces I am immediately noticing less body flex that you can you can hear with the creaking of the interior body panels while passing over irregular surfaces, such as speed bumps and driveway thresholds. My interior body panels are not creaking at all now.

    I think I would have had to go all hood or no hood. My OCD would not let me sleep at night with that visible line.

    I used the Dupli-Color brush kit in yellow. I was trying to match the yellow in our license plates and it's pretty close. The kit brush is horrible though so I picked one up in the crafts section at Walmart. Painted the calipers without removing them and didn't mask anything... Just took it slow, but got some paint on some of the tiny metal clips. Put about 5 coats. My nice person and back were sore from sitting on the concrete for that many hours :ROFLMAO:

    Had new wheels and tires installed today. Totaled out my 2010 Prius a couple of months ago. I had sold the stock rims and tires, so I could not remove the wheels and new tires I had put on the 2010. Went without a Prius for almost two weeks, but found this 2013 with 38000 miles on the clock. Couldn't let it ride on the stock shoes and wheels too long, so today was the day. Ordered Lexus CT200H 17" Trident rims and put on Continental TrueContacts. Will let you know in a few tanks how mileage is impacted. Let me know what you think.

    Didn't think I'd need the WT mats in the back either. Dang glad I had them after I noticed the 0W20 oil I was carrying back there spilled over. Not one drop ever hit the carpet.
