    That sucks. I did that on my BMW fog before. Now I put a carpet under car if I do any work.

    If you’re only talking about swapping the engine:
    Maybe you could swap in the 2zr-fe or 2zr-fae (original engine is 2zr-fxe), if we are talking about gen 3.
    Or 1nz-fe (original engine is 1nz-fe), if we are talking about gen 2.
    Both of those would require lots of parts to be transferred from Prius engine to new engine. So somebody might even say that they aren’t full engine swaps.

    If you’re talking about swapping the hole drivetrain:
    Then you can swap anything into anything that it will fit in…
    If you want to keep it hybrid then maybe it would be possible to put Camry hybrid powertrain into Prius…
    In case of Hybrid drivetrain swap you do need to swap a lot more parts than just engine and transaxle. Probably even some brake parts...


    Anyways most of those are going to be super hard. And most of people would say that end result isn’t going to be worth the time and money required. That’s why there aren’t any around.

    This is a lip made by Modellista. version 1 for 2010-2011. This is a part from Japan. I got this 2nd hand from here, so I was lucky. There's some places you can get it, auto style USA, nengun, buyee. It costs 300+. You could try Japan auctions via buyee.jp. I read this guide how to order parts from Japan. DIY: How to buy and import JDM car parts directly from Japan | Balancing Act Good luck!

    Have fun. Hope it turns out well. The dramatic transformation is Definitely worth it.

    I don't have the expertise for this kinda mod. I best leave mine alone. Last thing I need are the police giving me a fix a ticket. "WHERE ARE YOU'RE HEADLIGHTS Son? ?"

    Ummm over baked it in the oven, officer.

    started at 8am and finished around 2pm. so ~6hrs. Cured each painted piece as well to avoid fogging. Definitely one of the hardest mods. Super scary prying it open and thinking you're bending the plastic housing. Will do night shots to see if the "all black" headlights with zero chrome actually does anything.

    anytime! I owe you one since you helped me get my DF210's on in March instead of waiting until Summer. :LOL:
