    Has anyone purchased the GR parts such as the performance damper or door stabilizer? On the GR parts PDF, it says that they're limited to Japanese Katashiki which I believe means product type, so model?

    This was my first 'mod' as the center console material and padding kind of sucks.

    curious, did you ever end up installing this illumination part? I find the interior lighting to be lacking at night and interested to see how this works/functions and if installation was a PIA. Thanks!

    Not the person but I debated doing the install and felt lazy so I got this instead:

    USB-C light, a few dollars from China or 10 ish on Amazon. It has multiple colors you can set, you can set brightness level and it remembers the last color/brightness selected. Mine is red to match the rest and medium intensity. Pic was taken during the day.

    If you search "USB-C light" you'll get a bunch of results but they all seem to be the same at different price points.

    This will possibly(probably) be a waste of money, but I found out BlackHawk Japan had the GR Performance Damper on a decent sale with affordable shipping(compared to when I looked at it last year), so I made an impulse purchase.

    TRD GR PERFORMANCE DAMPER SET FOR TOYOTA PRIUS ZVW60 ZVW65 MXWH60 MXWH65 MS303-47004 - Black Hawk Japan

    It's currently on its way and just entered the country. I've got an oil change appt scheduled for Friday when I'll be on my way to Chicago for the CarCareNut meetup on Saturday. If it gets here by Thursday, I might ask if they can fit the install in, but I doubt the timing will work. The main bottom engine cover and rear bumper both need to come off to install the kit, and it also needs a four post lift because the weight of the car needs to be on the tires when the bolts are torqued. So the install will probably have to wait until the rear door recall is ready in a couple/few weeks.



    Install instructions attached below(translated from Japanese using Google Translate).

    Cool, The CCN. Getting some service from the Car Care Nut is on my Prius wish-list. In fact, maybe I should set an appt sooner than later as I understand he can be booked up way in advance.

    Yeah. My plan had always been to use the performance damper install as an excuse to drive to Chicago and have them work on the car. But then the price of the kit and shipping were so high that I viewed it more as a daydream. But then he announced the meetup and I decided to just do that instead. But then I saw the sale and low shipping cost. But there was no time to schedule work at TCCN as they're typically booked out a couple months and I don't really want to drive there and back twice(it's about 10hr each direction).

    So I'm going to the meetup but having the damper installed locally. Only way I'll change my mind if he likes the mods I've already done and wants to do a video on the car. I put the odds of that at around 0.0005%, so I think I'm safe. lol

    ah ok, TCCN Meetup:


    I didn't know. I'll have to wait for the next one. Hope he does a video on your modded car.
