    Custom molded dash????? Sounds like a nice way to bump up the price.

    Where's the rocker skirts? That spoiler is stock looking to me. TSS = Bend over buddy

    Someone on the forum bought a TSS and later found it did NOT have the rear swaybar yet it had the springs and those disco looking wheels. At least it comes with Michelin's and not those Toyo things :)

    Yup, that was me. I'm placing my order tomorrow from the dealer for the RSB (quoted at $220). I don't think the spoiler is different from stock and the custom dash is stock but I think he's referring to the carbon fiber molding that was replaced from the stock gray one.
    As far as the benefits of the TSS, the benefits are the leather interior with blue accents, the carbon fiber interior, trd lowering springs, Michelin primacy tires with the 17inch rims, and the Prius Plus kit. And of course its already installed for you so no need spend time installing all those items.
    I think they cheaped out and could have at least gotten the side panels upgraded to leather as well (stock is fabric). I upgraded it to leather, but it cost me an extra $300.
    After the RSB, I plan on getting the Stage 10 carbon fiber shifter. Then hopefully I can find a body shop around the Austin area that can weld all the holes from the badges. I tried 2 body shops so far, but they only wanted to bondo them.

    Welding can create issues with the metal from the heat. Maybe if someone plugged the holes with a TIG? Does the Prius have galvanized sheet metal? If so the metal & welds would have to be re-galvanized on both sides then painted to be sure rust doesn't start from the backside :( Did you get the Plus Perf side skirts. Looking at that video it didn't look like that other car had them.

    I think you can TIG weld the sides, but the rear is plastic or something like plastic, so I will probably just leave those badges there (or replace them with something else).
    I'm pretty sure it includes everything as a PPP (at least I haven't seen any difference).

    Doesn't look like the side skirts are different.

    Here is what they should look like if they were part of the PPP:
