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

I like it a lot!! Seriously looks sharp!

Good for at least 10-12 hp!!

 

I don't know about horsepower, it might actually slow me down.

 

Me wuz kidding!

It looks nice though!!

 

Looks pretty dope!!! How much did u get them for and how easy are they to install?

A0001 ?

 

Agreed...I'd put that towards my BMW dream bike before putting into my daily driver.

 

legitimate question... will lowering help with aerodynamics...aka MPG?

 

I think they are pricey for $180.

Easy install. Just a couple of screws and you're done. Make sure they are installed properly and there are no clearance issues. It takes about an hour.

 

My only concern with the caliper covers are the screws loosening up from all the driving and all the bumps you hit on the road. I've even emailed MGP and this is what they had to say.

16122 is the base part number for your Prius.

They don’t fall off. Install per instructions, tighten down aerospace nut per instructions and it will never come off.

We have thousands of applications from 150 mph Camaros to off road racing Tundras running caliper covers. Tested by Ford, Mopar, GM and others, gaining approval and licensing from all 3.

Minimum wheel size is 16” so your 17” will be fine.

Thanks

You can get the plastic caliper covers.The type that sticks on to the caliper with the supplied adhesive. After some research, I stayed away from these because I've heard horror stories where they have melted or just shattered into pieces and caused alot of damage to the braking system.

I like the MGP caliper covers because they are built with better materials that actually dissipates heat.

-Laser Cut from 6061-T6 Aerospace Aluminum
-Patented Stainless Steel Fastening System is Secured with Locking Nut
-Bridge Union is TIG welded for Added Strength
-High Quality Powder Coat Finish for All-Weather Toughness and Durability

Just wanted to share.

Renewed my Sirius / XM account today.

Called in and asked for the same deal that I am currently on that is set to expire in a couple days and they gave it to me

....and I'll be doing the same in 6 more months

6 months for $29.94 ($33.59 after taxes and fees) my commute and road trips are so much more enjoyable for only $5.60 a month



They offered me a full year subscription first for $112 including taxes and fees...doesn't take a genius to say no to that one. Lol.

 

My on and off quest for high MPG.

not bad with my commute on the freeway on 280 and 92 with all the hills and traffic.
On 17 inch wheels with 2 types of tire threads (2 toyo proxes, 2 generic brand from wheel works) and all the added weight from the mods.
4 bars left on the gas meter, and a current tank average of 52.9 MPG. Comfortably making the 500+ mile before tank goes to empty.

 

Looking good Mr. Wong, I see your in the Bay Area, we'll keep you in the loop for a get together.

 

I'm gonna say the red brake caliper covers.

 

Anyone know if CT200 sport pedals would fit on a 2012+ Prius? mitaccessories1 no longer sells the Prius-specific pedals

I'd prefer the slip-on ones that don't need drilling (except for the dead pedal).

 

@ncases, you think they would?

 

thanks! I spent a lot more than I should have and have been on a modding break for a month now. I moved my spendings onto my PC build upgrades and wedding funds for now. So I won't be upgrading the Pri for at least a year (aka... tailights, JDM steering wheel, Samco hose, bike rack, body kit, etc..)

What I CAN do for you though in terms of your question is quote myself on my spreadsheets. There's only 2-3 changes since I posted it so its not that outdated. And here's a link to my entire build in chronological order. I didn't make a build log thread on this site yet, still waiting on it to be worthy. But my album is a long one so brace yourself! Enjoy!

 

Here is a quick pic of the setup. Fits perfectly where the spare wheel goes.

 

just make sure you have a tire fix kit just in case you run flat with no spare tire.

 

I will check since my wife's car is just a foot away.

 

Sweet....are the compressors loud? How much lowering and lifting do you get before they start up? Maybe once or twice down?
