    Okay everyone. I've had my Prius C4 for about a year now. Absolutely love it too! I have been loosely following the TRD stuff, but most of the information is over a year old, no real new data on a US version (actually TRD website has no Prius C or Aqua parts listed). I am really interested in the TRD parts so my real question is this: Is there any actual difference between the aqua and the prius c? If i bought the suspension for the NHP10 will that fit nice and snug on my Prius C4? What about the body kit? Any help on this would be much appreciated! thanks!

    Isn't the Prius A (aqua) just the Japanese name for Prius C? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    certainly, however, there could be modifications done to the cars when they come over here. You know, emissions are tougher in america. Hence, why i would like to know if anyone has done this so i don't potentially waste thousands of yen!

    other than interior dash parts made for right hand drive, exterior, suspension and performance parts are the same

    The prius c is a yaris chassis and, therefore, can use TRD suspension upgrades. My prius c4 had TRD lowering springs, rear sway, and even TRD exhaust. All yaris parts. I have more goodies too My Prius C mods so far... | PriusChat

    while working with Tanabe and sourcing their Aqua parts to test fit onto my car.. they informed me that their exhaust system would not fit..

    that would have me lead to believe that the exhaust system on the Aqua is different... so the Aqua TRD exhaust may not fit the Prius C.
