    I wouldn't do a flat and a glossy together on my car, cause if it came that way from the factory then I'd find myself looking at it all the time wondering why the car designers didn't take the time to do them the same finish, for one cohesive look....

    That's really no different from chrome wheels on white car that you're planning to do (which seem to look too gaudy together IMO). I think the glossy CF trims would coordinate fine with the new wheels' chrome border.

    +1 The wheels just look "off" IMO on the Prius. :mad:

    Exhaust and body parts are cool for sure. Also the sub looks very well done. But honestly the wheels do not fit the car at all. They are too wide for the tires, the INOX lip is outside the tire and the tire may be able to wander on the wheel. And they really look way too small in diameter. Choose something else, bigger and for sure lighter than those ultra heavy BBS from the old school Porsches and paint them gunmetal too. Then screw the car a little up again and it's a fantastic ride :)

    I LOVE the body kit and the exhaust. Ok so where did you get the exhaust? I agree you should get the new taillights as well.. The smoked look sweet.....

    I love the steering wheel too but CF is just not my cup of tea (I don't even drink tea).

    The wheels are OK, but don't match the car right this minute I won't pass judgment until I see the new color. I agree the blue would look sweet.

    The sub looks great.. A couple quick questions about that.

    Can you still get to the storage tray with NO modification to that area? Does the sub box stick out too far for that? How does the Hertz Sub sound? My shop is trying to convince me to go with the JL w6 instead of the Hertz. Is that the HX250?

    I again LOVE the exhaust and could you please post more pics of the body kit from the front and sides and back from a little further away.. Say 10ft or so. And if possibly from the ground shooting straight ( I KNOW I am asking a lot. :)

    Thanks

    Looks good.

    I'd like to see a video of the exhaust to see just how loud it is on the Prius, and what kind of tone it produces. That, and some acceleration vids so we can see how the CVT transmission affects the sound of it.

    Looks great Robert. Would love to see the car now with your other Work wheels if you still have them. Thinking the BBS' are a touch too small for my taste with such a big aggressive body kit. Just my .02. Whose BBK did you get and where did you find it? I have been searching for a long time and knew they were out there but couldn't find a good source to buy them from. Can't wait to see more pics!!

    sup Shawn, now we are working on bbk but none of my wheels clear the brake :(

    BBS will be out of my car now, too small is ok for me but I need 10mm more to clear so it will be on my jetta very soon

    Final decision will be 19" work wheel hope wont pop my fender out

    Will keep you guys updated

    Finally something that's not a cheesy caliper cover.

    My favorite is still the WORK wheels. Aggressive styling calls for aggressive wheels.

    K Sport BBK 330mm 2 piece disk, 8 pot calipers, I test drive it today and brake is much better than stock feel but performance wise I dont know yet, will keep you guys posted
