    Never been a big fan of the bra.....looks alright with darker colored cars. Don't think it would look good on my BP Prius.

    Did this!
    1) Deleted rear wiper
    2) Replaced all four shocks/struts with new pieces OEM. I replaced them because I had 70k on original ones lowered on Eibachs, plus my right passenger front strut was bent from a huge pothole.


    Installed these!
    1) Cusco front lower arm bar
    2) Cusco front power brace
    3) Cusco center power brace
    4) Tanabe strut tower brace

    Where did you get that from? I see them on eBay but they're pretty pricey there.

    Unfortunately I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else so I finally gave in and bought it on eBay.

    Here's a front pic I just took tonight

    I drove it to the beach with my surfboard, surfed, and drove home.

    I cleaned it out for tomorrow.

    I washed it inside and out.

    I noticed my windshield is cracked.

    Did you just replace the old 3M adhesive with new adhesive or did you replace them with new emblems?

    I actually like the emblems. I was going to black them out but maybe a project for another day.

    I used 3M general purpose adhesive cleaner to remove the old adhesive and re-applied the emblems with new 3M tape.
