    You're welcome. I think the side moldings look pretty cool too especially when they come in two toned now.

    Any chance a passenger might step on the side splitters when getting in or out of the car?

    The splitters at their widest point is about 1 inch long. I guess it's possible, but very unlikely. At least it hasn't happened so far for about a week, while I pick up my girlfriend and her mom quite often.

    Just won a set of splitters on eBay. Will have to see how difficult the install is now.

    I have them on my white 2016, and they finish off the look nicely! There is a metal plate that needs to be installed with them, so mounting takes time, but fairly straight forward?

    I had them installed at the dealer, all I was told was that the installation was more complicated than expected so I had to wait longer. Anyway congratz!

    Care to share with us some pictures?

    Was the installation easy for you? Or did you take it someplace to install it?

    I did it myself in my driveway. Once I got the equipment I needed it took me about an hour.

    I think they really finish the look. I was able to get a set on eBay for $150, so that helped me justify the expense.

    I didn't know the 17" wheels on the Touring models are painted black under the plastic. Looks good.

    I like them, they look clean.

    Although I read a review that the photos advertised, make the splitters look chrome. But in fact they are black, which is just fine.

    I'm not sure I'm ready to spend 300$ just yet for them. I'll wait until the price drops.

    But definitely nice!!!:)

    Thanks for the share. I just got my prius and am looking to have the side splitters installed next weekend. Its very subtle especially for the cost, but I can't deny they are a very nice touch.

    I also installed the aero splitters. The difficulty is medium. I had put the front wheels on ramps to have enough clearance to get my drill under the frame. Also had to buy a rivet tool at Harbor Freight ($9.99). I spent an hour on the first side and 30 minutes on the second side once familiar with the process.

    They are a subtle upgrade that I am pleased with, however, they do extend about 1-3/8" (3.5cm). The splitter caught my heal the first time I exited the car. I still find my leg against the splitter most of the time exiting the vehicle. But then, I am no spring chicken :giggle:
