    Hey guys, just thought I'd make a thread for my Prius C's modification progress. I purchased the car last month on May 16th. I have a lot of little plans for it but mostly just to make it look clean and simple. If I can't go fast, might as well look good going slow! :cool:

    The night I traded my 2007 GS350 AWD in for my 2013 Prius C3

    So far, I picked up a set of protoype Megan Racing coilovers from Garm at MICRO IMAGE. Garm and Jeff are great guys and very knowledgeable. Jeff took care of me and made sure I had everything I needed and took the time to answer any questions I had. Definitely recommend these guys!

    My wheels should be coming in sometime this week as well. Also ordered through MICRO IMAGE.

    Future Mod List:
    Roll/shave fenders
    Tint windows
    Axleback exhaust
    Hid headlights/fogs
    LED interior/exterior
    Shark fin antenna
    Aftermarket lip kit
    JDM rear spoiler
    Do something about the chrome headlight/taillights
    Possible black out front bumper/rear/and roof

    Thats all I can think of so far. Thanks for looking and please check back for updates ! ;)

    looks pretty low. pretty much where I hope to lower my C.

    Does the front splitter scrape much at that height?

    Yea, ill probably need to go lower once the wheels are on but so far i like the way it sits. Today was my first day driving it with the front being lowered more and i probably scraped it once or twice just being careless and forgetting how low i am lol.

    Got my wheels and spc camber bolts in today.

    Thank you. They are Rotiform BLQ 17x8 all around. :)

    Installed tires and test fitted the wheels. Need fenders rolled/shaved, more camber, and more low.

    I plan to put fat tires on my C. I would be interested in what kind of mileage you get with these tires.

    +1. Way better than stock, though the tires almost look like they're stretched.

    They do look stretched. That was my first thought. My stock tires look a little stretched on my 7 inch rims too.

    Looks like a bit of poke. Looks as good as I imagined. Hopefully you can get it fitted. Looking forward to the good results. And of course, more pics.
