    everyone! A friend is considering pimping his 2008 Prius.
    What do you guys think are the components or parts he needs to upgrade? Definitely I know the tires, and the suspension system has to.

    Would there be poor MPG concerns when all these are done?

    The tires or the wheels? Upgrading wheels unless you can find wheels with the same weight or better will hit your MPG. Forewarning light weight 16’s and 17’ are generally expensive due to their manufacturing process

    Lowering the car may increase MPG but not incredibly.

    I would recommend grabbing a stubbier antenna, debadging, plasti-dipping. There’s stuff all over the Mod forums you can take a peek at. Lots of cool stuff over there
