    Just got done installing the Cusco LHD strut bar. Took about 1 HR 45 min by myself. Part comes w Japanese directions but the site you buy it from has English that are very helpful w pics. Take your time figuring out all the fasteners you'll be removing. Check windshield wipers after tightened to make sure they sit right on the windshield after turned off. Looks like strut nuts are torqued to 40 to 45 nm. I'll drive it later today and post on how it feels.

    This past thursday was my car's 1-year anniversary. I dont have my own thread for my Prius... maybe when I am a little more complete and satisfied with my build. but the link in my signature should suffice for the numerous pictures I have taken since a year ago. Coming from a Jeep, I cant say I miss it. But to summarize what My car used to look like, versus a year later... here are some pics and some budget breakdowns I have kept organized.
    and for those curious:
    12/16/14=40miles (brand new 2015 model two)
    12/16/15=18,301miles (hr commute)

    AFTER

    and just wanna thank the PriusChat community for the inspiration and ideas to keep my wallet nice and clean :rolleyes: lets keep the inspiration, motivation, and addiction going! (until the wife says otherwise)

    Part of my aluminium pedals project I bought this Prius G accelerator. I figured I be the guinea pig for this. Cross my fingers this will work with LHD.

    Riders right. Mask off any areas you want to keep chrome. I chose to keep the high beem housing chrome for functianilty and the low beem ring for contrast with BP side markers.
