    Looking Good! Wonder how it would look with blacked out emblems and nose trim.
    What kind of Front lip is that? Any issues with the Megan coil overs? I have Megan's too. Factory paint color?

    No issues with the Megan coilers! With the car lowered and 45 psi on the 215/45-17 tires the ride can be a little bit rough but I'm overall very happy (and very used to cars with stiff suspension).

    The front is an EZ lip off ebay

    There is definitely something that needs to be done on the front emblem and nose trim, I'm just not sure of what. Black will definitely look good but I'm entertaining the idea of painting the mirrors and the front trim/emblems matte aluminum - something like the RS series from Audi.

    Btw the first two photos of my Prius posted earlier are oversaturated - the rest of them or representative of the car's actual color - which is Barcelona red.

    What size did you put on...30mm? What are you lowered on? Are you going to lower it more and adjust the camber for more tuck?

    Yep, 30mm lowered on Tanabe NF210 lower in springs. I think I'm going to camber although I'm debating getting fender flares.

    I can't understand why you'd deliberately make your tires hit the fender. you can see its chewing up your tires. tail lights look good tho.

    How are the wheels with the 38 offest? Any rubbing? Can it tuck inside the fender?

    Rolled my front fenders the ghetto way (mallet and stacks of phone books) and am tired of looking at my mess up. Was thinking of adding fender flares like in the bottom picture.

    Maybe not these exactly but this would give you the idea. Thoughts?

    Man, you're going to end up a Prius that looks like it's got a Rocket Bunny kit on it. Not that it's a bad thing.

    Did a test fit with double sided tape. Not too bad looking. Color is off white so I'm in the process or repainting my side skirts and will paint these too.

    Would that cause rubbing when turning? I plan on lowering the front some more soon and rub a little already
