    Thanks guys!

    For the black emblem, I used Plastidip which you can get from Home Depot. Just spray it on, and anything that gets on the body can be peeled off easily! One of the best inventions ever!

    Yes, I wrapped them with the help from my fiance. Just take a little patience, time and a hair dryer!~

    Here are just some pics I had taken with my Iphone while I was working on the car.

    More pics to come!

    Nice job with the tail lights. I wanted to do that myself but figured it was way too difficult for me.
    Do you have pics of the tail lights installed?

    Looking really good. Did you also do the Toyota emblem on the front and back also? Pictures of that?

    The OP has the Adv. Technology package and hence the radar-embedded front emblem. He's not going to want to mess with that.

    Very nicely proportioned wheels/tires set.

    My compliments on your Prius. Love the white and gold. I was looking for a Gold yet could not find a slight used in the white. I think I want to have my signal lights done. It seems like a lot of work from what I see.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I have not blacked out my Toyota emblem as I like the original chrome look

    The tires I'm running are 225/40/18. The wheels w/o tires are 17lbs each, but my MPG remains the same if not I might actually be losing a couple MPG...

    Oh, and I had to roll my fender in order for it to clear. One thing that I found odd and disappointing was that after I switched out my rear springs and got it to the shop to align, my camber on my rear right is very off compare to the rear left, hence on occasions with high bumps on the road or when I have a full car load, my rear right wheels would hit the fender. Any ideas?

    I've noticed that the rear right wheel well is shaped differently and smaller on both my Prius and Lexus.
