    I haven't seen any, but perhaps you all have. I'm looking for sway bars, specifically, as a first pass.

    I heard that it has been made more difficult by the more crowded engine compartment.

    And if anybody runs across some OEM factory mudguards for a 16 Prius, please let me know.

    None of the dealers I've contacted offer any. Somebody said they are standard equipment on the Canadian cars? So Toyota must make them. I got dirt all over my lower rear (white) body panels.

    Funny they even have the sway bar for the AWD Prius.

    Excited. Where to start?!

    Probably rear bar. Front looks like dropping the k-frame again. Ugh. Strut bar was nice in the Gen 2 as well. All that plus some lightweight wheels and it should be a decent handling machine.

    Ok - rear sway and front strut bar on order.... I'll post results once they are in.

    They are coming straight from Cusco as they haven't produced the first batch yet. I should get them in mid April, I'm told. I may consider the FSB as well, but really don't want to have to do the work and then get the car re-aligned.
