    Installed TRD springs and rear sway bar. What a difference! Big thanks to Totmacher for doing the install. If anyone in the OC needs work done, he's your man. Very professional and friendly.

    Today I installed the Euro mud guards I bought from the PC shop. I also added an electronic crossover to the system, didn't think I'd need it with a lower power amp, was wrong.

    Yesterday I was graced with my first huge door ding, so mad because its huge, right on the driver door crease. I'll be reminded every day how great people are! Not sure how to fix the dent but hope the paint will buff out.

    Body shops offer Paintless Dent Repair for door dings. Worth it to get an estimate if it bothers you.

    No, not really. I've owned cars in the past which had Eibachs and I've never had any issues with the shocks wearing out. Keep in mind though, I usually only keep my cars no more than 5-6 years. Who knows, I'll probably end up getting the Gen IV PIP whenever it arrives which is probably 3-4 yrs?

    It's a perfect fit in the Prius.

    It's because the bottom two bars bend upwards. I was hesitant about that at first too but then decided it would look weirder without the top grilles.

    Just window tint (SunTek).

    50% front and 18% rears. 18% on the very front windows by the mirrors. Sorry for the terrible pics but I didn't have time for glam shots yet or even be bothered to wash the car. lol

    Nice!

    I would like to swap my Plug-In silver outside handles for the regular Prius handles. I would like it all to be Blizzard Pearl. Not silver and BP. Ugg
