    HEY LULZCHICKEN !!!

    :):):):)

    I just picked up the kit and it's awaiting its turn at the paint shop !!!

    The Five Axis kit is awesome, it's not made of Fiberglass. It's a Polyurethane kit so that it's flexible and can withstand much more than Fiberglass can against the elements !!!

    I will post pix when it comes from paint and is installed !!!

    :):):):)

    :):):):)

    Yes the Five Axis kit doesn't come pre-painted. It will be out of the Paint Shop in about a week so i'm counting the days !!!

    As far as the curtains you can get them from ...

    www.pgmotoringusa.com

    Here's the page for the BELLEZZA CURTAINS and other great VIP stuff on their site ...

    PG Motoring USA - SEARCH RESULTS

    You want to order the SMALL size curtains as they fit the Prius windows perfectly !!!

    Hope this helps !!!

    My favorite non-OEM rims for the Prius. They look gunmetal rather than silver in some of the photos though.

    Yes, that's the great thing about these wheels !!!

    Depending on the lighting they capture, it can come out light or dark !!!

    And with the Caliper Covers they really work well together !!!

    HAWAIIANBUILT,

    Very nice mods. :rockon:

    Going back to the caliper covers for a moment...

    I see at the GMP site that the Prius is not a supported vehicle.
    OK, there are ways around that; the Scion for example.

    But for the Scion, the wheels have to be 17"+...
    Probably some interference issues on smaller diameter wheels.

    So, it looks like the caliper covers are workable only if you have
    17" or larger wheels, perhaps the '10 Prius OEM wheels, but
    otherwise aftermarket wheels like your 18s.

    That said, it is not clear for what vehicle, actually for what
    OEM calipers, are the caliper covers you have installed?

    :noidea:

    HEY ROKEBY !!!

    :):):):)

    In regards to the MGP Caliper Covers ...

    I am running MGP's Test Fit Caliper Cover for the 2010 Prius.
    It is currently undergoing R&D.

    It will be made into production within a month and their site will be updated reflecting the part number as well.

    These Caliper Covers will NOT clear the OEM Stock wheels. There isn't enough clearance currently for the OEM Stock wheels.

    I will be going to MGP this week to finalize the R&D and see what minimum wheel fitment it will be made available for. (For example 17" wheels and above).

    Each vehicle listed on their site has specifically designed MGP Caliper Covers for that particular vehicle.

    Stay TUNED for an UPDATE regarding the MGP Caliper Covers made specifically for the 2010+ Prius !!!

    My apologies for the confusion.

    Hope this information helps !!!

    Hey Rodney, looks like your car is coming together quite nicely. Sorry I wasn't able to install your springs today. We'll get it done soon enough. I have to drop my car off again at the body shop because of what happened on Monday so hopefully I'll get it back soon and we can do your springs.
