Custom extended seat rails group order

I have a friend who is very talented and will make extension rails for my 08. If you need rails please say so here. He is going to make a batch of rails at one time.

Im not sure if the 08 has the same mounts as the other years does anyone know?

Im driving my car to Flagstaff so he can measure it precisely. They will be heavy duty rails that your rails bolt too. Not flimsy extensions.

They will be radius edges and painted black or gray. He will probably oval the holes to allow for factory tolerance errors.

He wants to make a large batch to make it worth his time.

Im asking for mount points at 2,4,6,8 inches. Or they can come blank and you drill the holes. A 3/8ths AC drill and proper bit is all thats needed.

They will be a simple DIY install at home in 30-45 minutes with basic socket wrench tools.

If enough people want dropped or lowered rails he can make those as well. The dropped rails will be lowered 2 inches from stock. I might even have him make mine cant back by an inch or two for a custom feel.

Please post here if your interested. I have no idea of the cost but they should be reasonable and money wont be a factor compared to comfort.

Naturally they will be marked "Off Highway use only" and not for on highway use.

 

He said depends on order quantity. 5 is different then 25 or 50. Lets see how many are interested.

Ballpark 250-300 would probably be real close.

 

They need to put it in writing so we can get a head count. He will make one batch and move on so.......

 

I will have him make one for me as a "Sample" for picture taking and install info.

I need to know if all years have the same mount points. If you look down from the roof towards the seat my mount points are in an H pattern. The top left, bottom left and top right are all normal straight down mount points. The bottom right point is side mounted. My left side is 23 inches from mount to mount and the right is 25 inches.

Can anyone confirm their year model and the look and dimensions of the mount points. I have an 2008.

 

Im thinking most people who will want these are going to also want a 1-2 inch drop. We will have to pull the seat and see if it will clear the oem humps with a drop rail system in place. The drop rail is also a bit harder to make. The rail kit is for the drivers seat only. The passenger seat has 4 more inches because there are no brake and gas pedals in your way. I will have him design the 2 inch drop system as the default and we are not going to make a non-drop rail system.

Are there any prefs of the rail color? Black? Gray? Primer?

 

I will have him build the 2" drop rails for my 08. I will install and take pictures. Lets hold off till I post the pics.

We need to have all potential buyers in one lump. I dont want to ask for 20 and only have 2 buyers. We also dont want to make 5 and need 20.

We also need to post mount point dimensions for every year prius we are building for. Im hoping they are all the same. Mine is 23" left front to back and 25" right. The back right has a vertical mount. All other mount points are horizontal.

Worst case is we make the mounts and dont drill the holes or only drill front holes and not rear.
