    Is your prius a 2010+. Is it on TRD Springs? If so, I don't understand why it would need shims to correct the alignment when toyota has these TRD springs installed on their prius plus package model. I don't know

    Installed the JDM window visors. They look awesome, kind of hard to see in the photo but makes the car look a lot more sleek in my opinion. image.jpg

    If he has the same once I have, Toyota OEM Visors, they do stick outside but what make this one nice is that it also clips into the window sill frame. Have one on my prius too. 20141010_074128.jpg

    Came from eBay out of Japan. And yes just stick on the outside. The directions had some clips too I didn't use the clips just the double sided adhesive that was pre applied on the visors. I would have used the clips maybe if the instructions weren't all in Japanese lol. But it went on fine and drove fine today no noise, and still sticking on there perfectly.

    I know what you mean about the Japanese instructions. I found a DIY by one of the forum members here. Very helpful step by step. Probably the only type of install I would do. As long as it does not involve socket s and bolts. Haha.

    Awesome you attempted to install on your own. I would never attempt to install suspension expecially coilovers. I am sticking to 3M install. Haha.

    I suppose I'm a little mechanically inclined and have the mindset if I can do it why pay some one else to.

    Sean - very slick ride! I am planning on doing the same plasti dip this weekend if it would stop raining so much here to the emblems and recommendations is greatly appreciated.

    Also which exact JDM window visors did you get? I wanted to get the Japanese one but they say it's from Cali? I like the Japanese one bc it's looks more aggressive.

    Thanks,
    Arash

    Arash,
    Thanks man, recommendations on the plasti dip just wait in between coats and do 4 coats your first two should be extremely light coats then the last two can be a little heavier. For the jdm visors I ordered them on eBay and came from Japan the seller I got them from is k5com you can search sellers on eBay and search his inventory should see it there. But I just looked and also saw some others straight from Japan for about what I paid. Just search jdm prius window visor you should see them. Also I do agree about them looking more aggressive that's why I went with them.

    Sean,

    Will def take my time in doing this as time is what you need between coats. I think there might be some videos on YouTube on what's the best way to do it. Only if you were close enough would get you dinner and we could have done it together since your the expert.

    On the JDM visors they all look the same here are the 2 I found to be the closet:
    10 14 Prius Base 4DR JDM Side Window Visors | eBay or
    "JDM Style" Window Vent Sun Visors Rain Guard Toyota Prius 10 13 Hybrid 3rd Gen | eBay

    Btw - thank you for your advice on the rear light bulb ordered that from amazon. I want to change my fog light bulbs to a xenon/ blue color to match xenon head lights. Any suggestions? I'm also on the fence about getting rear and front sway bar but step by step. Do you have any advice on shark fins?

    Oh there are some YouTube videos for sure just check them out its very simple. Those look alright if you aren't going JDM mine were 245$ shipped from Japan. So a bit more pricey for the JDM. Oh awesome man, yeah I've replaced all my bulbs with the zone tech bulbs now they have a nice blue/xenon look to them I did all my interior lights too. I honestly haven't thougt about looking into the fog lights yet but now you've put me onto something hah. Also about the sway bars i haven't gotten any I don't take my car on the track or anything just a daily driver so mine seems to handle just fine for now, with the rsr coilovers I did see handling improvement though. And on the shark fins just got on Amazon and type in prius shark fin and whatever color you want. It will match your own paint which is awesome and is about $100.

    This probably doesn't really matter to a lot of people but installed the safety check bracket on my rear fender to clean up my rear bumper of that sticker. IMG_3112.JPG IMG_3114.JPG
