    Heavily leaning towards the prius pkg RSB and Tanabe FSB at the moment.


    I might have to get creative...

    After I started this thread, I went a bit mod crazy. So far, this is what I have done:

    - TRD Rear Sway Bar
    - Tanabe Front Strut Tower Bar (Poor fitment, but works)
    - Katzkin "Premium" Leather Interior, in Lapis color. (This has been ordered, but has not been installed.)

    ya, it seems the more stock the better in most cases. New owners don't like to see things tinkered with to much.

    Phht...do what you want.

    My only criteria for a "mod" or upgrade is can I afford it, and do I want it. I always assume I'm not adding value for a future trade in or sale. But I normally keep my vehicle for a long, long time and the important thing then becomes is it something I will get value and enjoyment from. If the answer is Yes...then do it...don't worry about re-sale or trade in.
