    Lift supports like the hatch uses would be good for the hood.

    Gas shocks are always nice.... The prius is one of the few cars I've seen with the rod on the hood instead of the body.

    Wish they had repaired mine. You now have option to trade it in at the dealer that just repaired it and get full value.
    13's have 0% intrest and are on SALE! I lost 2.5 years of investment. Will never go without GAP Insurance from Dealer again. Was almost upside down after big D/P and 2.5 yrs of payments. Go large and get the PIP.

    Really? My v has the hood rod on the body. That's an interesting difference.

    Latest update for today is that while driving in the snow the car through a bunch of trouble lights. Techstream shows issues with rear wheel speed sensors. Looks like I'm going to be dealing with crap from this accident for awhile.

    Can you sell or trade it in and not lose $ ?

    I'm guessing probably not being it is so new

    I mean I traded down so I owe way less than the car is worth, and that was the idea to reduce my payments. If I sold it, I would end up raising my car payment back up and then I might as well have kept my sti.
