    How's that exhaust working for you? Any improvements in performance, or just a noise can?

    When at open throttle, it's not loud and torque gain by not much. Combined with intake feels a little more responsive. I'm getting 49mpg.

    Put in Redline 0w-20 and cleaned EGR Pipe at Raytheeagle home on the weekend.

    Fuel tank DTE was at 0 earlier, drove 5 miles afterwards to 76 gas station and filled the minimum 1.5 gals, DTE went to 98mi. Had I filled up to 10 gals, DTE would have been 980mi !!!

    Thanks again to Ray and his wife for hosting the meet up, his knowledge, wisdom and going out of his way accommodating all of us.

    Its coming in the mail soon hopefully, cant wait to install it. (and to u EU folks here, these blinkers r E-certified which makes them legal in EU.)

    Have also been thinking about getting this front bumper since i cant afford the Aimgain Type III bumper lol. 500 dollars that cost while the aimgain one costs like 900 dollars, and that without shipping, with shipping it costs like 1500 dollars...

    Is it the exhaust from the Prius G Sport? looks really like it.

    lol, im not to worried about the wiriring really, wiriring for the stupid 360 cam im installing is much harder... Luckily http://www.car-solutions.com can help me. And for theese blinkers ive already contacted the store and asked how they installed it. The blinker wires is the same, so ill just take power from the OEM connector, then for the puddle lights ill just take power from the footwell lights. Have to run wires thru the dashboard, up in the door then in the mirror lol. I dont know about the DRL`s tho... Im wondering if i either should just leave it be... or connect them up with the puddle lights, so the whole width of the car illuminates at dark nights whenever i approach it. Im really excited to start working on em, i dont mind a challenge if any comes up.

    In my opinion that bumper is so tacky looking. Got too much going on in the front. I wound suggest getting a lip kit instead. It’s simple and clean looking. Or upgrade your bumper to 2012-2015 which might have more options ;)

    It doesn't even come painted nor with the LEDs. This company is near Sacramento CA. Had the bumper include the items above and ready to installed, they'd sell more.

    Yea... personally i also think it looks a little "overdone", the air intakes for supposedly "cool down the brakes" and stuff looks way to fake... and yea... just looks overdone.
    i have contacted a company in tsjekkoslovakia that deals with Aimgain body kits and asked them what the price would be for shipping, the 1000 dollars for the bumper is some i can handle, its just the shipping. They ship via air and not boat so it gets way more expensive, id much rather wait 5 weeks for the boat to come and pay 200 dollars instead of paying 500 dollars and having it here this week. ive already bought a new OEM 2010-2011 front bumper, it only costed 100 dollars new, so i thought like... what the heck, why not. Its a good replacement for the cracked and ugly one i got on it now. Ill just sell it again whenever i got the money to buy the Aimgain type III one. It looks so good lol.

    [​IMG]

    A bumper i also wanted was the 2012-2015 NON-Fog light version, i thought it looked so good with the huge grill, but thats unobtainable in my country since fog lights is standard on pretty much all toyota`s here... [​IMG]
