Prius Plus Ground Effects Kit

I had no idea that is what was involved in the body kit install. It doesn't look hard to do, but dang that is a lot of drilling and rivets. Kind'a like building a plane

Mike

 

Absolutely. Which is why someone is gonna charge me a kidney to install it. But ah wells. Such is life. I wonder if the local dealer would do it.

 

They're not lying to you. The plus package kit only comes in silver, blizzard, black, and winter gray.

 

Ouch. But I wouldn't let that bother me. I would buy it in grey or something and get paint color code and take it to be painted somewhere. Can't be expensive. All that means is that your car would be all the more unique when you're done bro. Go for it!!!

 

Home depot can help u with the drill however growing the balls is another story.......I'm afarid ur on ur own.

 

Wanna take a road trip to Cali?

 

My wife was on bed rest so she has no clue that I added the body kit.

 

Hope she is doing better

Mike

 

Yep. We had a beautiful baby on Aug 19th

 

Wow, good to have the Prius, safe for hauling the family around. Congratulations All smiles.

Mike

 

Thx Mike

 

Is that your first one?

Mike

 

Nope. 2nd daughter. Older 1 will be 6 next mo.

 

Wow 6 years difference Now all you need is a son

Mike

 

LOL...I wish. Congratulations man. I had my very first, a boy, on July 21st. He's already been rolling in the Prius.

 

Thats what I keep telling my wife

 

Congrats to u as well.

Let u know who u get to install the kit & what they quote. Always nice to see what others are charging.

 

Ok Will do. If I get desperate and no one seems to wanna help me, I'll go buy a drill and hope for the best. But I really rather not sit there drilling holes into the bumper myself. I have VERY limited drilling experience period. Next thing ya know I drill holes that are too big or some crap. Or I stick on the plastic guide thinies wrong...or God knows.

 

Couple dumb questions
1. What size drill bit?
2. I assum you just drilled your holes through the holes pre-done on the plastic guide things that stuck on first to the bumper? Then used rivet gun to bore a rivet through each hole?
3. No drilling at all for side pieces? Just use original clips that are already in place?
4. How easy are the black plastic pieces to take off from under the bumper that you mention in your first step? Are there clips or are there screws or what?

Thanks a lot.
