What Did You Do To Gen4 Prius Today

Don't expect it to take off like a Tesla Roadster driven by Spaceman.

 

I haven't seen a "cool" looking Gen 4 yet. But then again I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. Nothing surprises me anymore.

 

That depends on your definition of "cool"

Now you want one
Actually, I think they lifted them. You tend to lower yours.

 

Following your link I actually think the Gen 4 looks better lifted than lowered. Maybe the Gen 4 just doesn't have the body lines for a lowered look.

Here's my technical breakdown of what makes a car, namely a Prius, look "cool" IMO.

Cool" = $$$, luxury. Right?

So "cool" = look and feel more like Lexus cars. Ex/ Aimgain Prius, lowered Prius (Lexus tends to have a lower profile), 17" + rims (name me a Lexus that uses 15-16" rims), etc. Ever notice that those niceties are basically already included in luxury vehicles? Lexuses don't need Clazzio leather, shark fins, Remin dash kits, and LED side view mirrors. We may not realize it but the modifications we do are subconsciously a push for a luxury car. I don't expect everyone to agree, but that's what it seems like to me at least.

Now where does the Gen 4 fit into all this? That's the million dollar question. In my opinion, it's not designed in a way that feels like it has the potential to be luxurious. Aside from the atrocious styling, the interior looks and feels cheap.

 

What wire did you use in the a pillar for the puddle lights? I am currentyl wiring up mine

 

I think lowered looks cool. Yes I do.

 

Show pics of yours. The first Gen 4 here.

EDIT: Here's one of your threads.

Red to purple? Where should I put the black wire? I’m using puddle lights off of a 2018 maxima

 

Ok, this isn’t what I’ve done today but what I’ve done so far...

Started with installing Megan Racing coil overs and Niche Targa 18x8 wheels and tires.
Followed that up with wheel well flares and then stopped by Hybrid Pit to have side skirts installed.
Then had Hybrid Pit install the 3in1 sequential turn signals in the mirrors.
In between, I had the windows tinted, rear wiper delete and installed Toyota Japan window visors and a full LED interior light kit.


iPhone ?

 

Nice Details.

Those Wheelwell Flares & Side Skirts look very tidy. Do they reduce the splatter of winter road debris along the side of the car?

Did you have any more photos of the flares un-boxed and being fitted, are they custom or a generic brand?

Cheers, Steve

 

To each his own. I waited until they stopped making the Prius look like a stupid egg before I purchased my gen4. No need to spend $1000's of dollars de-egging it because it has style right out of the box.

 

That's what I was wondering as well. The splatter, is REAL.
