    I don't think it's random chance that ToyotaFest goes down right after tax season. ;)

    Hopefully these will fit without too much hassle.
    Has anyone used a similar 20mm spacer? will they fit without changing the stock studs?

    Your stock studs might protrude past the spacers. If your wheels don't have spaces behind the wheel that accommodate the protruding studs, then you'll have to mount shorter studs, which is what sfv41901 did.

    For my 15mm spacers I didn't need to trim the studs because my wheels could accommodate the protrusion. But I did need to trim the studs on my spacers by 6mm.

    Was it a huge feat to swap out?
    Seems like it would be.

    Just cut the OEM studs down. Either way u go, If u ever remove the spacer u will need to put in OEM length studs again.

    Installed some birthday gifts from a couple of weeks ago. My wife treated me right!

    Cover for my manuals (I can't believe the car didn't come with one):

    Door hinge slider covers:

    Hood struts and partial engine covers. Still trying to figure out how to make the inverter cover fit in the front (trim or place under the radiator cover):

    In my case I placed the inverter cover under the radiator cover. To make it fit, I gently shaved the radiator cover with a sanding drum in my Dremel tool.

    Here's a snapshot of how it appears in the Lexus CT200h engine bay.

    Having a little coffee break with my Prii in the middle of work. Haven't update any pictures for a long period.
    Just wondering, for solar roof package, which shark fin should I get? I heard some shark fin maybe too large for us.

    Happy Early EASTER!
    Not sure how its gonna look, could be too much. But I just really liked the way the mockup looked in the quote above. So I figured I get rid of the Starbrand Green and try something new... more pics to come once the majority of the green is gone.

    I've been busy all weekend working on my custom sub enclosure & routing all of the air lines

    Putting the Jasper jig on the router image.jpeg

    2 sets on flush mount rings

    Idea of how the flush mount ring looks

    Routing the air lines & sensor wires

    Down the driver side following the same path as the fuel & brake lines
    image.jpeg

    Down the passenger side following the same path as the HV power lines
    image.jpeg

    Lines routed under sub enclosure (y)

    Wanted to run 2 12's but it just wasn't going to happen :confused:

    To be continued :barefoot:
