    Thanks Chris.

    We were all at a dead stop, waiting, and the car behind me suddenly lurched into me. Putting it in G rated terms, it was irritating. There's a mild crease in my rear bumper. A body shop would probably just replace the whole bumper cover. It seems hardly worth the expense and inconvenience.

    I got rear ended twice (within the first year) and that was with the stock taillights.

    Where did you get the dark grey trunk mat? The gray one they supply is a waste.

    I found them from a Japanese seller on eBay, but you can find them all over Japanese website auctions. They are from the prius g.

    As others have stated, these specific headlights are only found on the Prius G available only in Japan. They are the only HID equipped headlight for the gen3. The white glow is the parking light.

    Here are a few shots I had taken

    I saw that happen one morning, it was so weird. Light was red and girl next to me all of a sudden must've thought it turned green. Gunned it right into the car in front of her. I think that car's driver may have taken his foot off of the brake to creep up a little and the girl thought it was go time. I couldn't believe how hard she hit him with only a couple feet to accelerate.

    Ordered a new front driver side ground effects kit, my original had a big scratch. Just got it back from the body shop and slapped it on! image.jpg

    Slapped on some BRZ wheels with new Gorilla Lugs, 56.1->54.1 Hubcentric Rings, & 3mm Aluminium Spacers.

    For those who slap on FRS/BRZ wheels, hubcentric spacers DO make a difference and I highly recommend getting them. I can feel the difference in the quality of the ride on all road surfaces. Instead of having the wheels held on by just the lug bolts they are now supported by the hub as well making the ride noticably more solid.

    What would you guys say is a good price for the G headlights and is it a direct fit with the plugs or is there cutting and splicing involved.

    Yeah, I was so worried. Car in front kicked up a nice chunk of metal. I swerved to avoid it but it still hit me.....my Nokia fogs (at least 1) was completely destroyed
