nearly complete on mods

Correct on the install. The dash speakers are a one-size-fits-all sort of upgrade and are used in several Toyota/Lexus models in Japan. I found the difficult part to be finding the correct amp. Each car model gets a different amp that's tuned(by Yamaha) to the physical space and speakers that are in it. That means I don't think you can buy a used system from a different car(non-gen5 Prius) even though all the parts look like they're physically the same.

The audio system is an $800-ish upgrade from the factory. It was on my initial list of planned upgrades, but the cost, difficulty of finding the correct part numbers, and the possibility it wouldn't be set up correctly for a LHD car made me eventually scrap the plans.

 

Quick question about the Impex JP order. I just got an email saying that’s am the parts have arrived at their warehouse. Do I pay and create the package myself on the website and wait for them to correct it if necessary (due to weight/size), or do I wait for them to send me an invoice from their end?

 

I'm jealous. I placed my order(18 items) about a month ago. Everything is at their "warehouses"(shipping containers lol) except one frigging thing. I'm only refreshing the order page about 20 times a day.


@pendragon What did you end up ordering, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I have ordered and installed various items-

(1) Dual Horn for Toyota Land Cruiser- plug and play
(4) Rubber Mats for Prius (front and rear) Toyota installed as parts (not in port)
(5) All Weather Cargo Tray Rubber Mats (Hatch and rear seat addition)
(4) Mudguards (front and rear) Toyota installed as parts (not in port)
(1) Clear Toyota Bumper Protector- Toyota installed as parts (not in port)
(1) Steering Wheel Trim Ring in Silver (around the Toyota Logo)
(1) Steering Wheel Trim in Silver (lower steering wheel)
(4) Steel Door Sill Panel Protection Guards (with rubber inserts)
(1) Multimedia glass protector (no fingerprints)
(2) Toyota Logo Silver Metal License Plate Holders
(4) Voxx Lumi 17" Aftermarket Wheels

Total appox- $ 900- which is still a total savings from my initial dealer price of $ 3.5k over MSRP; by going with the other dealer, I saved a net total of approx $ 2,600.00!

 

I hope I'm wrong, but I think that metal bracket is going to end up being unobtainium. It's only spec'd for US AWD cars with the spare tire option, but there are no spare tire option cars in the US. I could see Toyota designing the part but never actually producing it. I'm going to keep trying to get it, but I'm mostly resigned to never being able to. I figure if Toyota is comfortable selling cars in Japan without the bracket, I'm comfortable driving one in the US without it.

I think we're both going to be very disappointed in the replacement deck board. I never would have ordered it if I had seen the video of it ahead of time. I really think it's just going to end up being the standard deck board with four of those foam-type blocks glued on.

 

Perfect, I figured something like that would seem likely! Thanks, really appreciate the website and help.

And @Hammersmith np don’t mind at all! I just got the TRD GR Prius Parts.
- Front Spoiler
- Tailgate Spoiler
- Sports Side Visors
- Door Handle Protector

Think the parts look great, will post pics of when I get it installed on my Cutting Edge silver Prius

 

link to the spoiler? how much was it

 

Also interested in cost and way to get spoiler

 

Got and installed my door sills[ odd, but they look like they're lit from within, but they're not- I think the lettering is reflective.Looks amazing!

 

Hello, just wanted to share my timeline with everyone in case it helps

Order Created & Paid: 2023-09-08
Order Arrived at Impex Warehouse: 2023-09-20
Initial Auto Calculated Shipping Paid: 2023-09-20 (same day I got notification)
Additional Shipping Required and Paid: 2023-09-27 (took a week to pack everything together and create the label, understandable)
Shipped out via DHL: 2023-09-29
Estimated Arrival Date via DHL (Japan to USA, California): 2023-10-05

Overall, really fast! I got the GR parts and also a simple license plate frame. Here is the cost breakdown of everything.



Really good in my opinion in total for the entire TRD GR kit. Can't wait to post pictures after install.

 

You can't see from the pic, but it is further up

 

Are you going to install the front lip? Be I terested how easy/hard that turns out to be

 

My order shipped out the same day. We'll see whose order arrives first(hint: it'll be yours lol). I'll be interested to hear if your plate frame fits an American license plate.

 

Be very, very, very thankful you didn't decide to get the other deck board. I should have just cut my losses on that and the foam.

Also, once I got the final package size and weight, I plugged the dimensions into DHL and FedEx. Impex's price was actually in line with the estimates I got from those sites. So it's the real cost to ship things of that size, not just Impex scamming extra money. Doesn't make it easier to swallow.
