    The mad scientist in Palmdale has plenty of "good friends" and an even greater number of groupies! Take a number if you want modifications, it's worth the wait!

    Rocking the white right now. I like the contrast in the interim. I picked them up used, so they could use a refinish down the road at which point I'll decide if I want to rebarrel them for a deeper dish & possibly color-match the car or other.

    Currently they're nudged out with extended APR studs & custom spacers from Fred Goeske at Wheel Adapter in the Valley.

    Snapped this on my way into the gym just now. She's had a lot done in the few weeks of ownership & I have to thank you @Accordlayingkit & @BurnaJ specifically for your awesome build threads as inspiration!

    I can't find the person that asked about the "MPG hit" when switching to FRS wheels. So just posting here so hope they see.

    But I will be honest. I am not a hyper-miler. I am actually quite a moderately aggressive driver. So these numbers are not something I get often. I enjoy going to B and then hitting Power Mode when entering the freeway. I'm mostly on the left lane too. So this equates to an average of 38-42mpg.

    But today I didn't really feel like driving too fast (which I'm thankful for since I past 4 different pulled over cars!) so I got these numbers, lol. I can edit this post once I get back from work tomorrow afternoon.

    never seen a prius getting pulled over yet. I guess they assume priuses are slow and thats a myth when you hit 80mph it easy to go to 90 with a slight kick on the gas pedal.

    I think I've given up on ever receiving my Spec-D v2 tail lights. I've been on backorder for 6 weeks, they were supposed to ship this friday, and now they put me on backorder again until Oct 12.

    Where did everyone get their Valenti tails?
