    That wouldn't last a day here.

    Did you do something to your tail lights? Can we get a closeup?

    Actually, they look like the Crystal Eye/Spec D LED tails.

    I hear this when I see that.



    (And the scream sounds remarkably like my own whenever I scrape on a driveway. Mine, however, is followed with much more cursing in lieu of an instrumental. And then quiet sobbing.)

    Are the strut bodies shortened on those? Must be riding on bump stops if they are not.

    That looks amazing OP! I was thinking of putting some bigger wheels on and lowering the car a bit, good to see their are other Prius driver's out there who think a slammed Prius is beautiful. After seeing your pic there is hope that I can stance this Prius like my last car.

    Perhaps there was a pothole right at his parking space and he couldn't get the car out of it.
