JDM / Japanese VIP Styling: My Prius III Build

Just finished all 48 pages lol.

Some stuff I liked, some stuff not so much, but this build wasn't for me. This build was for you and you followed through with your own vision and that's passion at its finest.

Either way, it was refreshing witnessing a build from a such a positive person such as you Rodney.

Congrats!

 

Awesome build thread. I liked that you modded a Prius like you would a "weekend" car. Most people only go so far because it's their daily.

Quick question for you, I love the stance you achieved with your ssr wheels. What is your camber front and rear when at driving height, and when lowered. Could you provide a shot showing what the stance looks like at driving height? I ask because I want to get wheels in similar spec to yours but I'm going static.

 

Thanks for this info man, i'm so doing it to mine, i live in a snowy city, but even in the snow the rear wiper doesn't do much, you can't see much out of it, you see more out of the other rear window more. Plus having a backup cam you don't really look back much.

 

Hey i love those car mate mirrors, i cant find them anywhere, i will being Los Angeles in September would love to see your Prius and you could see mine as well. would love to know where to get those mirrors.

 

I've seen quite a few different JDM Window Visors lurking around and came across these:

Go to global rakuten site and do a search for "zvw30 visor" and you will find a pretty nice list.

For the price, this is pretty awesome if they are legitimate or even replicas. Has anyone purchased from here? I am not fond of the WeatherTechs. Coming from a history of straight JDM parts, WeatherTechs just does not look clean. Any suggestions HAWAIIANBUILT or anyone?

Rodney,

I must know, where did you get the spoiler for the upper portion of your rear window? I'm highly interested in this part. Thank you in advance.

 

Rodney i have a 2012 Prius Hatch 5 . Wheels stock are 17's and im thinking of the matte black caliper covers. Will they fit with the factory 17's until i get my 18's?

 

What is the offset on these wheels to run these caliper covers? They look awesome.

 

Now that roof antenna is bugging me!!! (since you flushed the rear hatch...)

 

OK thanks... I need your help with a few other things! I have a 2012 blizzard pearl prius hatch.. model is a five so I have all the bells and whistles. I really want the 5 axis kit from from everything I read the the 2012 is different all the way around! I contacted juiced. Com about asking them if the sides and rear would fit since the front end they changed on the 2012 especially with the location of the fog lights. Juiced.com responded to me today saying they contacted the kit manufacturer and they said the sides and rear won't fit the 2012 because it changed all the way around. I ordered a Jdm front lip last week that's suppose to fit 2010-2012 but we'll see as it comes tomorrow. So u know of any sides and rear that will fit my 2012 or know of sides and rear urethane that'll fit?

And last got the same tires u have and I'm looking at 18x8.5 u think 8.5 will be OK and I'm struggling on a offset.. u got and idea on a offset that will sit flush and not stick out BUT still look good IF I ever decide to bag?

Thanks a lot!

 

The sides & rear will fit ALL gen3 Prii's (2010-current). Only the front is different.

VS980 4G ?

 

OK cool thanks... they probably didn't really call the manufacturer haha

 

Rodney do you still have your caliper covers on? If so how are they holding up? Do they cover the entire caliper no matter how you look at it, is it covered by the covers?

 

Anybody else using this besides Rodney? Jus came in my tanabe lowering Springs box today
