I actually did this yesterday. But I wanted to wait for good lighting for the after photo.

 

^super jealous!

 

1st WGM in US with G's front bumper??? I think you are unless someone can prove me wrong

 

Probably $1000 with shipment + paint + install. Maybe more for just the front bumper.

 

Here's the other WMG G's.

That makes two that I know of -- both right here in Socal.

I bought all the parts piece by piece. Just the bumper alone $450 purchase, $780 shipping, $750 for the two tone paint job. Then the lights, brackets, garnish panels, etc, was probably around $500.

 

That is a lot. I don't think I can justify that much for front. Need a few bonus to get that kind of cash. Already got complains from wife. "It's just a Prius"

 

That must be the "Angry Panda" on the right.

I haven't in installed the G's wheels yet. When I do the total cost for mods will be roughly $6 to $7k. That includes headlights, taillights, and suspension. And it's all totally worth it!

 

Prius G rims shipment from JAP going to be a lot. The weight is the killer. Might be cheaper if you fly there buy it and ship it back or know someone coming to US. Pay for oversize luggage

 

Mostly the basics; installed a set of wheel locks; just got a set of Michelin energy saver A/S not too long ago so I figured that's a good idea. Installed the Weathertec window deflectors; front and rear. And found this really cool shifter knob over on Ebay; installed it. MUCH nicer look than the original. Just don't like the funky blue one. Or the blue front and rear Toyota badges. Thinking about using that plasti-dip rubberized paint to go black on those. Thinking that'll look good with the winter grey metallic paint. Anyone use that on badges or other exterior parts?

The shipping on the wheels was a total of about $500. The actual purchase price was around $975.

 

That isn't bad for the weight. I would expect be more since it is way heavier then the front body kit

 

If you look back a few pages on this thread I just wrapped the blue glowing background with carbon fiber vinyl. The emblems pry off with an old credit card so you can do what you want with them.

Several people on here have blacked out their emblems with either plastidip or trim paint. I personally like the little bling contrast against the WGM paint though.

 

Mm, hm.

The background to the emblem is a thin piece of plastic. You can paint it, or do whatever you like.



I painted mine with WMG (8V1) touch-up paint.

 

And on the topic of 8V1 touch-up paint ...



A little detail work to follow up on my G's retrofit.

 

Found a new home for the badges.

Not sure about the placement of the the 10 year badge, so we'll hide it for now.


I don't know what it is with me and badges.

 

Nice.

On a side note... are those seats part of the Persona package?
