    Thanks man! Suprisingly it doesn't actually obstruct much of my view, maybe a 10% loss in visibility, if that. Its very similar to the gap between the bottom window and the main window, in that you quickly get used to it and it doesn't cause any issues. If you're asking me to estimate cost and not the lose of vision, then I'd say around 160 dollars. 150$ for the wing and 10$ for the paint.

    Did a quick 3D print for wheel hub covers. I'm going to make smoother ones that look more OEM, but I wanted to first make sure that they had up. Driven over 200 miles on them and they've stayed put!

    Did your 25mm wheel spacers come with longer studs?

    Yes, kinda. You use the normal studs to hold the spacers in place, and the spacers have their own studs for your wheel.

    A ricer" is a term, often times derogatory in nature, used to describe people who have modded their car with race car inspired mods, but who haven't done any actual performance upgrades. Well that's entirely what my car is. I'm doing upgrades that I find aesthetically pleasing without doing anything to increase performance, save for lowering it and stiffening the chassis.

    LOL. Great. I didn't read the entire thread and asked the question. Then I thought it was a just a typo. I eat a lot of rice but never heard the term until now. Anyhow. Great MOD. I love your PRIceUS.;)

    "If you're asking me to estimate cost and not the lose of vision, then I'd say around 160 dollars. 150$ for the wing and 10$ for the paint. "

    I have been trying so hard to find that rear spoiler/wing from a reputable seller. So many outdated links and advice on this forum but this looks relatively recent. Would it be possible for you to share where you purchased that from?[/QUOTE]
