    Due to unforseen circumstances I may have to get rid of my Prius.

    In a sick twist if fate: this arrived after months of waiting for it in the mail.

    Guess it'll have a place of honor on the dash of whatever may come next.

    I'll likely have some stuff for sale.
    I don't have much... but have no use for what I do have. So let me know if you're interested in anything.

    Very nice install job! You kept it simple!
    Get the best 6x9's you can for the fronts and you'll really notice the improved bass. I went with JVC, but of course there are many brands.

    Had a lot of reading to get done today so I shot my third brake light with some smoke spray between readings. Need to let the clear cure for a bit then I'll hit wetsand/compound and spray more clear to get it smooth. Next up my tails in red but I need to set aside time to do them. Maybe debadge the rear but I'll need head back to socal to shoot in my parent's garage where air compressor and stuff are so I can fill and paint the holes.

    Was thinking of pulling the trigger on the $99 eBay lip and came across this. Curious if it'll fit and how it'll look.

    There's a flat (with single fin) panel under the bumper to keep the airflow smooth. Not sure how that would fit on with the diffuser we have since its a wedge shape.

    Yes, it's my Foam cannon. It's the first time I'm using it on the Prius and it works well. I'm really satisfied with it. I should have bought this a long time ago!

    I'm just using Chemical Guys GlossWorkz which is my favorite shampoo. My car is coated with CQuartz UK that protects my paint. The beading is crazy when I wash the car and is super easy to dry. I just recently bought a cheap pressure washer and foam cannon and I'm pretty amazed with the amount of suds I get with my cheap nice person setup. Should have bought this a long time ago!

    Next time try to avoid direct sunlight. It makes the foam dry too quickly and may cause problems when trying to wash it off. I guess you already knew it, right (y)

    This is not a problem for me. I used Chemical Guys GlossWorkz which utilizes pH-balance cleaning technology.

    "GlossWorkz is gentle enough to wash your vehicle in direct sunlight without streaks or spots. The pH-balanced paintwork cleanser rinses clean to always ensure a smooth finish that is free of dirt, debris and contamination."

    I even let the foam dwell for 7 minutes under direct sunlight and it rinsed off clean with no streaks or spots. GlossWorkz is an awesome product.
