    Hey Rodney: I sent your buddy a e-mail about the JDM front end lower pieces. I never heard back from Him. Do you know of any other people/dealers that import JDM parts like the ones Im looking for. Just to be clear they are the lower pieces below the fog lights.

     HEY RANDY !!!

    :):):):)

    Depending on the area you want coverage on your PRIUS (Full Front Bumper, Front Flashers/Fog Lamps, Front Headlamps, Front Side Mirrors, Hood, etc. the prices will vary for single items or a combination of them)

    Please contact LANCE from CLEAR PRO at (866) 286-1012 or the Clear Pro Link:     Home

    LANCE is a MOBILE Installer. Please contact him for a custom quote for your Prius !!!

    Tell him I sent ya !!!

    Hope this helps !!!

    HEY BLKGHOST !!!

    :):):):)

    That's a very good question and something to keep in mind not only to keep the Speedometer reading as accurate to Stock as possible, but to also maintain the MPGs which most Prius folks admire !!!

    No matter what type of rim you will go with that is different than stock, you're comprising both. It's inevitable. The drastic change will depend on how far away you deviate from the Stock Tire/Rim.

    What was told to me from Zoom Tires was that if I keep the Tire/Wheel combination close to the Stock Height, I wouldn't lose too much in the Speedometer reading. You can check for yourself the Stock Height of the Wheel/Tire combination in comparison to the Aftermarket Wheel/Tire setup to see the comparion.

    As far as width is concerned, obviously the wider tire you go the more friction on the road and therefore causing you to eat up some mpg's.

    My current set up is an 18" Wheel. The tires are 225/40/18s.

    Please check with your local Tire Company that can help you for more specific fitments and combinations to help you achieve the balance you are looking for !!!

    I hope this helps !!!

    :):):):)

    Please keep us updated with your progress !!!

    HEY GWEST !!!

    :):):):)

    My apologies for his delay, I do know that he also runs another business at the moment. I can touch base with him tomorrow and see.

    You may also want to check http://www.myautofashion.com for your inquiry.

    Please keep in mind that the folks at My AutoFashion are 1st Generation Japanese folks, and their English is great but limited. So please have patience, they are wonderful. You may have to submit a picture of the item to them so they can better understand the item you're looking for.

    Again, I will touch base with PG Motoring tomorrow and will keep you updated.

    HOPE THIS HELPS !!!

    Christ... I'm really starting to get jealous of your prius. Do you have leather seats? or custom leather seats? that would be the icing on the cake for me

    I found this great website that provides quite a bit information on wheel/tire size comparison. Of course it doesn't take count of the weight of the wheels, but at least it'll help determine the size of wheel and tires to get.

    http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

    I wanted to get 18's, but I think to stay close to the factory size, I'll be going with the 17's (Five:AD R6:F) and plan on dropping it with the Tein springs.

    HEY GWEST !!!

    I spoke to Brian from PG Motoring and He is still trying to locate the Front Spoiler for you.

    I was searching and found what you are looking for on the Sigma Automotive website ...

    Toyota Prius 2010+ ZVW30 Exterior Accessories :: Sigma Automotive

    It is listed under "Styling Package Version A"
    In the drop down menu "Front Spoiler $475"

    [​IMG]

    You can order from the site as it's in English !!!

    If I hear anything back from Brian, I will let you know ASAP !!!

    Hope this helps !!!
