    Although its not my Prius, i did install the JDM signal mirrors for floppyedonkey. Hopefully he posts some pics. He got Blk covers on his Blizzard Pearl.......looked really good with his vinyl gloss Blk roof.

    I dreamed about getting 17s for my GenIII today. I even created pictures to simulate the look with a mild lowering kit. Then I realized I'm broke and went hypermiling home from work. LOL

    Every time I see the pedals on Ebay, the description says "right hand drive". So that scares me. Cause if that's true then the foot rest pad may be an issue. Is this just rubbish?

    So yesterday, my Friday started with a bang.......literally.

    I was on my way to work on the S5 at the 60 & 10 split in the # 3 lane when all of a sudden the red pickup truck swerved hard into my lane clipping the froassanger front end of my prius & pushed my into lane 2 at which time was stopped so I rear ended that car. As he made impact, he started to flip.....now he's on his right side sliding across lanes 2 & into lane 1 where another car slams into his rear diff....then goes up the dirt shoulder & rolls back onto his wheels & tools back to the right shoulder.

    Onto the pics:

    OMG.:eek: Dude, I'm so sorry. I feel to cry honestly. That sucks beyond sucking. I hope your repairs are as painless as possible. But I know the emotional turmoil involved with something like that as well. Godspeed bro! Chin up!

    Ouch Sean, that sucks. I know exactly which fwy junctions you're referring to. WTH was wrong with the driver of the pick-up, did he not see you, or sleeping, or something? The car's repairable, at least your life wasn't jeopardized. Hopefully the collision doesn't set back any cool projects you've got going on the pipeline.

    I'm on PLUS springs going on a month as of this weekend. The wheels and tires are stock 15" Prius Four set-up.

    They're made specifically for LHD Prius. All the pedals were slip on (remove stock rubber and slip these on). The foot rest needed to be screwed on and the seller provided 3 screws. Took about 10 minutes to install these guys.

    Thx guys.......at least I'm ok & that my family wasn't with me.

    I'm guessing either he fell asleep or was drunk.....the angle at which he hit me was to much just for a lane change......had it been just a lane chane I don't think he would have rolled over.

    Here are some pics of his truck:

    Here is the diff:

    This was the car that hit the diff:
