    I was interested in installing the C-ONE upper grille block, and I think there was a group buy coming together, but that fell though. I was hoping to find a place cheaper than Sigma.

    I don't like any of gen2 body kits. I think Tommy Kaira kit for gen3 is awesome.

    What's the deal with the hood? It looks just like a primered stock one?

    Carbon-Fiber for better gas mileage I presume. :) Looks good. I'm interested in this area, but will probably never mod mine this far. I guess if I were to wreck it and just body damage was done, perhaps.

    yikes not a fan of that extreme dimension kit. They should ditch the vents.

    I was under the impression that the prius hood is aluminum? Negates the effect of a carbon fiber hood.

    +10000 A lot of the time, the CF hoods are heavier than the stock aluminium ones. That's the case with the Seibon "wet" CF hoods on the Evo at least. "Dry" CF is lighter, but only marginally, and quite a bit more expensive.

    Yea. Usually because "affordable" carbon fiber hoods still have a fiberglass underskeleton anyway.

    skyoracer02,

    Does the new hood have the raised, flat ellipse where the Circle-T badge
    would be mounted like the OEM hood?

    Due the flat paint/lighting, I can't really tell in your picture.

    Does anyone know if the Duraflex B-2 body kit pictured above would prevent the install and use of a hitch?
