    The FA kit already has a smooth horizontal lip and by adding the diffusers will be giving it a squared off /chunky look that (imho) will make the rear look too busy. Just my .02

    They should have done this to the '12 bumper as well, instead of what Toyota did to that bottom middle section of the bumper with the little black sections on each corner and then solid painted color in the center.... They should have just done it solid black clear across the entire piece, or done it the bodycolor. It looks like they had an argument at the table in the boardroom about how to do it, so they just decided to do it BOTH ways to make both sides happy. Every time I see that middle section of a '12 bumper as one passes me on the road, I instantly think of how cheap Toyota made the 'refreshed' front end look with that section. I really HATE it.

    When you get that done, would you please come over and finish my car? lol! I've got SO many boxes of stuff stacked all over my bathroom and sitting room. I think I shared on here once before that I had someone come over to the house a while back, and they noticed all the boxes stacked in my rooms. They said, "Are you moving?" And, after looking at it from an outsider's perspective, it does look like I'm packing up to move! lol

    will this work with non JDM headlights ?

    btw, I would totally drive down to get my springs done from you for $150 :)

    sounds super fair to me, and i would assume that it will take around 1-2 hours ?

    will these work ?

    JDM FD2 Civic Type R Headlights Switch 2006-2009 | eBay

    is it just plug and play or is there wiring to do ?

    cheers !

    The US spec headlights don't have the leveling motor. The mold from the US headlight is different from JDM.

    It wouldn't take anywhere near what the told u. It's such an easy job

    The switch it self will work however it won't fit in the blanks that our dash has. What ever switch u go with just remember that none of them will be pnp.......the wiring just isn't there so it all needs to be wired in.

    Nice... Where did you get this switch from? Do you have any diagrams or ideas how to hook it up? The headlights I just got has motors on them and I wanted to be able to manually control them from the cabin.

    How will the vinyl hold up to rocks, etc? I have vinyl on my windshield and I have found one small hole which was caused be a rock I suppose.

    Sorry I can't answer your question. That picture is from one of the other members, and it has been posted on a few different occasions on the forum, and I don't know exactly whose car it is! lol! I remember when they did their emblems and the middle section of their front bumper, but it was a while back.....and I've slept since then! Hopefully one of the other members will be able to assist us in ID'ing the car so that the right member can respond to your question about how the vinyl holds up to rocks, etc.

    I bought it from an ebay member in the UK.

    I know how to wire them but haven't done any diagrams yet. Ok do those when I get everything installed & create a thread.


    It's ucsmfu's Prius.

    sfv41901, did you install the H&R springs yourself ?

    haha, it's my car, it holds up to rocks pretty well, no dents or rock chips so far, and I drive highways quite often.

    Pm me if you got any questions :)
