    I'm glad you got it to work. I was using a fabric material with the carbon fiber weave, but the material was too thick around the buttons (Park, EV, Norm, and PWR). I think the vinyl might work better since it is a bit thinner (I'm assuming). Did you just cut around the button openings or did you tuck it under the trim?

    LOL, you can't "buy" this color. It's a custom vinyl wrap.

    Hey Robert, I just ordered the 3M CF vinyl as well and hope to be doing this mod as well. Did you remove the trim and then install?

    Yes have to remove all the trims, no bolts

    When you wrap it better heat up the film make it softer will be much easier

    That's dope, I like it. The car is just sick. I order some carbon after seeing yours. How u like the coilover setup so far? And do you own a shop? if you do how much can you get me a set of tein Coil-overs for? Also any camber kit out there u know of? I drive my car 1 1/2 hours to work daily and I gotta feeling I'm gonna be burning through tires.

    coilover with bags is not a good choice still pretty bumpy but lot better than stock shocks, with EDFC I cant tell any difference between 2-16 maybe they are still new need to breaking in first, I didnt own a shop but my friends did they order it from tein direct will ask them tomorrow see how much hope can hook you up :) but waiting time is around 2-3 months

    about camber kits we could use camber bolts for the front only will try the rear soon SPC here is the link : SPC Application Search - Product=
    on their application only shows to 2009 prius but will fit ours

    Hope this can give you some idea, drive safe
