    You lucky they didn't void your lifetime warranty. Any modification that isn't dealer spec they can void it. I got my TRD before I bought the lifetime warranty so they know those were factory TRD

    If you bought your lifetime before you got
    If you bought your lifetime before you got bags. Firestone can basically void it unless you put back to stock specs. Just saying, I might be wrong

    Nice job! May I recommend yellow H11 bulbs for nice contrast to your HID lowbeam headlights, rather than trying to color match?



    Yellow will provide better visibility in rainy, wet weather too.

    At one time.... modifications to prius was life and if you did not do anything you were an outcast. Then, some owners resist it and were alienated. Those who gave in and modded their prii....were accepted.

    This is America, we can do whatever we want! Some mod their prius and live in shacks...others drive prius as a tool and live in mansions!

    It's all good babiboi!

    Different strokes for different folks!

    Peace out and mideng obama is still president!

    Came out of Home Depot this afternoon and the Prius 12v battery was dead (no interior lights, no brake booster, no dash illumination other than an exclamation symbol). Original battery, about 4.5 years old, 65k miles. TBH I did notice the brake booster sound when opening the driver's door wasn't as "lively" sounding for the last couple of months. But no real warning other than that.

    The tool rental department had a portable jump pack, but it too was low on charge/dead. The guy went to charge it a bit, and we called AAA roadside assistance. After half an hour, the HD guy returned with the jump pack and the Prius started right up from the underhood jump point. Luckily I was the one connecting the jump pack clamps, the HD guy was young and told me the black clamp from the jump pack was Positive, not!

    Went to buy a battery before the business closed at 5 pm, got there at 5 minutes before closing. Got an Optima yellow top for $219. The local Toyota parts department quoted me $319 just for the battery, no installation. No thanks, I'll take the yellow top with a 36 month replacement warranty.

    At the mall this evening, after driving the Prius for about an hour after the jump. We'll see if it starts later. If it doesn't, I have the new Optima yellow top and jumper cables in the passenger compartment.

    Will install the new battery tomorrow.

    Good choice on choosing the Optima yellow(y). I purchased mine online with free shipping and no tax for $130.

    Good deal on the optimal Yellow top. Unfortunately, they won't ship to Hawaii usually.

    Swapped my sombrero background again to gloss black. It looks a lot cleaner since I don't have carbon fiber anywhere else.

    I have had my car for one year now. I plan on replacing my 12 within the next 2 years just to be on the safe side
