    Nope. My plan was to get them installed today but needed to work on other project first. Had to suit up with my "PPE"

    Nice cars you got there

    ONE A2005 ?

    What piece is that you got around the signal/fogs? I wonder if that will fit a 2013?

    OnePlus Two ?

    Just got back from Orlando yesterday.
    Was a long drive and even with a little late night fun here or there I still seem to have gotten some of the best mileage I've ever managed.
    Don't have the exact numbers, or any right this moment but I can try and find ...some data somewhere.

    Getting tires mounted on my new wheels tomorrow, then I have a few weeks to pick up all the hardware I'll need before the weather is good enough to feel comfortable installing them.

    I still need to decide what lugs to go with...

    Oh, and the long haul and drastic weather changes really did a number on my stickered side skirts so once it's warm enough I'll be doing some major touch ups there and applying a clear coat of some kind...

    Also installing my JDM style front plate bracket to get rid of that zip-tie job.

    @Sfcyclist
    I am definitely happy with the results...It added to quiet the cabin slightly, feels/sounds much better when closing the doors and even the stock speakers sound better. I will be getting new speakers soon.

    I upgraded speakers at the same time.. so big difference.. funny thing is how quickly our ears adjust though! I found it def. reduced how much sounds resonate in the cabin.

    Similar effect possible, mask off bumper and apply PlastiDip. ;)

    Or use carbon fiber style vinyl.

    I found a weight from my wheels under my parking spot at the house last night. I have driven it about 50 miles and I haven't noticed any unusual vibrations. I knew there were a few weights that were loose when I did my last rotation. What I was wondering should I wait the 4k miles until my next rotation to have them balanced again or should I go ahead and have it done this week? I don't think it is too bad but I had planned to have them re-balanced due to knowing the weights were loose on the tires. And when I have them re-balanced should I mention that I have lost several weights in hopes that they might use a weight with a better adhesive and clean the spots up better before sticking them to the wheel?

    Tires mounted tonight.
    Will be test fitting on Thursday to make sure I don't need spacers.
    Once this cold weather passes thing will be getting real aggressive around here.

    I did a full detail of the car; claybar, polish, and sealed. Added a new Antenna :)

    I was surprised how easy and direct replacement the Hotchkis sway bar is on the Prius. The steering feels much more responsive and you can't beat the price! Below is the comparison between Hotchkis and OEM and also the bill. Thanks Shawn for directing me in the easier direction :) image.jpeg image.jpeg
