    I have noticed some members are adding stiffeners, shorter springs and such. I am sure that such modifications will add stability but is there a remarkable difference when you drive the car?

    Definately. It gives the Prius a firmer ride on the roads and when you turn, it feels flatter.

    Installed Shark Fin antenna on my new IV w/solar sunroof. Probably the only mod I'll do.

    Thanks ePrius and GoldPianoGarden. I would like flat corners if I can get flat without getting lower.

    Let me know what you discovered here. I would love to get some white lights for my high beams. The LED white is absolutely beautiful and then the yellow high beams :cry:

    Today I upgraded from the stock five 17's to the Plus 17's and also installed the lower door moldings.

    I haven't been able to find anything whiter in halogen. HID would be a better color match but doesn't make any sense for an instant-on hi beam application.

    I removed the plastic pieces in rear wheel wells which do not want to be on the car in the first place. I know "big deal" but I am addicted to Prius Chat. I plan to detail the interior this afternoon.

    To be honest, if u didn't notice it when u picked up ur car & u took it home they will probably say that they didn't make such damage since u didn't notice it upon pickup.

    It cant hurt to Try but be ready for them to say it wasn't them.

    This is why I always check inside & out when picking up from getting serviced.
