    HEY GWEST !!!

    :):):):)

    My apologies again for the delay on PG Motoring. I know they were getting ready for the big SEMA show so now that it's come and gone things should be returning back to normal.

    Sigma does sell the item you were looking for, I've never purchased anything from them personally so I can't really comment about them.

    Did you see my post about the SEMA Show? It looks like the item you're looking for will be offered in the Prius PLUS Package to be available next year I believe !!!

    Here's the link to the post :

    Here are pix too ...

    The FIVE AXIS aka FIVE:AD Lip Kit was EASY TO INSTALL, the instructions included were simple, clear, and concise !!!

    This is definitely one of my FAVORITE MODS to HB II !!!

    This kit is very sharp looking, it maintains the aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .25. So you can be rest assured that this kit DOES NOT affect Electrical / Fuel Efficiency !!!

    If you have any questions feel free to ask !!!

    If you'd like to order you can contact FIVE:AD at:

    HAPPY PRIUS MODDING FOLKS !!!

    Any opinions on flat black wheels (on a black Prius)? Below are Drag DR-34 15" wheels

    Works well. Someone did a quick mod with the 15" covers. He had sprayed them flat black and on his black car, it looks sharp because a part of the alloy is showing when the wheel covers are on, giving good contrast to the flat black wheel covers.

    Clever. Makes you wonder whether there are off the shelf flat black wheel covers for 15" Toyota wheels that would work surprisingly well and cost almost nothing. Althought the Drag 15" flat black alloys are only $100 each and I'm assuming that they will work with the existing Prius OEM tires.

    HEY BATHINAZN !!!

    :):):):)

    The Side Skirts are attached via the Original Screws and a new Fastener, you can remove those if need be.

    The Front and Rear Lips is attached via Supplied Tapping Screws and 3M Tape, the 3M Tape removal may be challenging.

    Hope this helps !!!

    I have to hand it to you, that's very interesting. I like the Japanese style Prius' too, I like the headlight style, the HUD (heads up display), the 3D navigation, they just get so much more there. ):

    HELLO THAT PRIUS CAR !!!

    :):):):)

    Thanks, I've always favored the JDM Japan Domestic Market styling and options available compared to what we get here Stateside.

    I do hope that someday we are able to get more JDM items from the manufacturer offered here, I think as Americans we appreciate a selection and variety.

    Hope you have a great Turkey Week !!!
