Ver.A Rear Spoiler

TheForce · Jul 14, 2006

I just received the Ver. A rear spoiler. I will be putting it on monday or tuesday. I'm posting the instructions in case anyone needs them. They are in Japanese and I don't need them translated but an English translation would be nice if someone would do that. If you could just do the translation I could photoshop the document.

From the looks of the instructions it requires drilling for the installation. I'm guessing this was for the Japanese Prius because I think they don't come with a spoiler down there on the stock Prius where in the USA it comes stock. Please correct me if i'm wrong. So this should just be a direct replacement with no drilling involved. Other than that it looks simple.

I will post installation tips and photos when I get it installed. IF I don't get sick again. I shouldn't because this is not a vacation day. I only get sick on vacations. :angry:

Do you think you have anything to worry about with the exhaust gasses? Have you given any thought about modifying your tailpipe before you do the install?

There is no need to modify the exhaust. This is a direct replacement for the current lower rear spoiler. The only difference is that the stock spoiler is black and my new on is barcelona red.

Any paint in your future?

Never mind! I just reread this and I understood it better the second time. It must be late.

I just finished my install. It was not that hard. The only hard part was working in 95 degree heat and putting the rear bumper cover back on. This was a direct replacement and I did not even have to use any of the new bolts, brackets, and plugs that came with it.

This will finish my out side appearance mods. I've been thinking about a sharkfin antenna but haven't decided on one yet. I need to wait and see what my in car computer will all have before I get one. The other thing I thought about getting was the version A side skirts. The only problem with those would be that the front mud guards would not fit and I would rather have the mudguards. I'm also thinking about getting the Touring Selection rims. But I currently have my cool racing caps and I don't want to get rid of those for a while. Maybe when its time for new tires I will get the rims.
