    Excessive camber will cause wear, but you will feel it.
    Look at the older VW's, air cooled. The rear wheels have a lot of postive camber
    and the wear evenly.

    I got some aftermarket tails while visiting Hybridpit awhile back. Didn't like the "bright shine Chrome look" on the lower half, so I wrapped the bottom portion with tint and double wrapped the bottom quarter side to give it a darker PXL_20220517_230617929.jpg PXL_20230406_223611855.jpg look for the profile.

    My dad and his friend just developed this custom MICRO speed SHIFTER with Tom's inspired with ball PEEK shift knob for the Gen 3 Prius.

    2.jpg 3.jpg

    The cut down "speed" shifter centers the knob on the shaft for quick shifting with just a flick of the index finger.

    Since the shift knob is center, rather than oddly shaped as the OEM one, all movements are even rather than in an odd spaced multi -directional action.

    Unlike a much more expensive button shifter, there is no need take the driver's vision off the road to look, hunt for and find the desired function button.

    This shifter emphasizes function over looks.

    But the function is to put it into D once, until the next drive.
    Oh, I guess sometimes I'll use R for a little bit....

    Congrats!
    Do you have a list of unscheduled maintenance?
    Like head gaskets?
    And what 'Off Menu' maintenance you performed?

    I hope to be right behind you someday!

    I got tired of the scruffy, dull look of the black spoiler of my Gen 3. So, I painted that sucker. I had seen a white one with a matching spoiler, so I did it too, cause I liked it. 1 coat of sticker, after sanding, 3 coats of Toyota white, 3 coats of pearl, 3 coats of gloss. I did all the masking myself, so it isn't perfect, but had zero overspray. Whadaya think?

    Looks good, but isn't that overspray on the top half and far edge of the hatch glass in the picture?

    If it is, some rubbing or polishing compound and some elbow grease will remove it.

    It's more like paint dust. It'll come right off with a washing. Thanks for noticing.

    Ran over a big road cone on the highway late at night. Did a quick super glue together so I could drive it to work the next day, then went back with epoxy and sand paper to fill the gaps. Used a base coat, pearl, and clear coat kit off Amazon to match the blizzard pearl. It's not perfect but it doesn't hurt me to look at it at least.
