What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

It'll look awesome!! Check the link below to see how it looks on Michael's BP: Has anyone "Redded" out the tails? | PriusChat

Here is someone else's write up from long ago. However the only difference was that I used different spray paints (VHT red & enamel clear coat in high gloss) and I removed the tails before painting. DIY Valenti Style Red Tail Lights for ~$15 Under an Hour | PriusChat

Well worth $20 in my opinion if you don't want to fork out for the red valentis

 

gap so thin, looks troublesome to clean

 

Very easy. Just roll your window down and clean it.

 

I'm thinking about tackling it next week so hopefully it'll give you a good idea!

 

I was intrigued with the Osram lights that @FinToy is sporting. But $429 was a little more than I'm willing to spend. For 1/4 the cost these look like a pretty fair deal.

 

Packed up this morning.


Finally installed. 18x8 +35, 225/40, on Tein HTech suspension.

Sad news is I couldn't use my Muteki SR48 lug nuts. The socket it comes with wouldn't fit. Probably will use AmazonPrimeNow and order a thin wall 17mm and hope it works.

View from the front.


View from the back. If I want the same poke as the front, do I use a 5mm or 10mm spacer? Would I need longer bolts for this, and would it rub?

 

As long as you can get 6-7 turns of lug engagement, you won't need extended studs.

 

Saw my Gen III on Petersen Automotive Museums Video from The April 2nd Superstreet event Techday2016 at 1:31


Also, @HAWAIIANBUILT @orenji , and @m3pare are in this video.

 

If you want the same amount as the front, you'll need to get a 10-15mm I think. You're only 8 inch in the rear so you'll need to extend 1/2" to get flush which is about 12.5mm. You'll want to roll your rears after that too since you'll rub on the inner lip.

 

Epic video! Thanks for sharing pare. Love those drone shots.

 

Cool! I always wondered, is there a lot of love for modded prius on big car show like this?

 

I wish I didn't miss that.

 

5mm is what you need in the rear.

 

Thanks! I don't really want to roll the fender so I'll go with this to be on the safe side.

 

looks good, any DIY video? )

 

Thanks buddy! They are Ultra Black Chrome w/clear coat on top.
