    I love this! You guys (and gals) are entirely too serius about this s--t. If you think it works, wonderful. If you think it doesn't work, just as wonderful. But, if you've never tried it and claim it can't possibly work, I'm sure you can see where you just might be on shaky ground. But, that's what makes this forum better than TV re-runs.

    I thought that it would be better to post this here that to respond to each individual PM that I have received.

    If you want to purchase one of our stiffening plates you can either call us directly at the number listed below or click on the link below and it will take you directly to the Prius Chat online store.

    We currently are down to aproximately 30 pcs in stock and will be receiving another production run in about 4-6 weeks.

    Do you know about how many you have sold so far?.. if you care to share?

    I've been following these since Nov 05 and they have been selling like hotcakes every since then... I bought two myself!

    It would be interesting how many are out there!

    I would have to check our records but it would be suffice to say that there are quite a few Prius' out there with our stiffening plate attached to them.

    I was pulling into a parking lot the other day and parked just 3 cars down from me was another Prius. I just had to neil down and take a look to see if it had one of our plates on it and sure enough there it was!!

    I waited around for a few minutes for the owner to come back to their car but it was getting late and I had to go and finish up my shopping!! :)

    Hm, I have no doubt that this plate would help in handling, but it is expensive though for just a small plate. May look into it sometime next month when I get my Prius.

    It looks pretty simple, but its very light and machined out of a solid piece of high quality aluminum.

    You may be able to make your own, but it may rust unless you use something that won't rust, but it's hard to find that without it being too weak.

    If it flex's, your no better off than you were.

    I know it sounds like alot of money when its not included in the loan, but anything on a car will cost...even a decent license plate cover is 20.00.

    I figure, some things are worth being cheap on, others are not.. when it affects the whole car, I'm into "not" being too cheap..... you may have to wait till your in the mood.. it sounds like he is almost out of this production anyway till he gets another.

    No. It's a reference to Marty Feldmens's roll as Igor in Young Frankenstein.

    Wrong! Belongs at the metal recyclers. We can't afford to be stuffing steel into landfills. But I'm sure you meant "recycle" when you said "trash" yes?

    Igor's "Walk this way" in Young Frankenstein was an homage to Groucho Marx.


    So it's an homage of an homage.
