Oof. The car already has bad ground clearance. Now it has no ground clearance. Looks kinda nice though.
The car has an Airlift Performance system(remote controlled air shock pressure adjustment system), and Air Struts. So, the height can be varied by amount the user desires. If desired, the car can be at stock height, higher ground clearance, or lower ground clearance. Or, as shown in a photo, the Airlift system can lower the car so much, the side-skirts are touching the ground (of course, not practical for driving ). I also like the Modellista areo kit, especially the rear for the Prime.
Nice mods. I suppose that suspension setting will keep the catalytic converter thieves from messing about under YOUR car. LOL
I agree that the catalytic converter is protected when parked AND that the car looks good BUT just how much was spent for these mods? Just asking.
I didn't originate the post on the prius modifications. I suspect they were added, at great expense, to make the Prius look more attractive and more sporty/custom. They sell an inexpensive remote controlled alarm that detects when the car is jacked up (so the thief can get under the car to steal the convertor) and should scare off a would-be thief. The kit costs less than $40
I have seen many alarms that would be suitable for this purpose. Here is one example: (Deluxe) 113dB Catalytic Convertidor Anti Theft Alarm For Car Motion Sensor US | eBay a simple google search reveals two models available from Walmart. Prices are all over the place from $15 to $1500 and I only mentioned it in passing and have not purchased any alarms due to my rural living situation.
