Installed these tonight because I couldn't sleep. I haven't taken off the plastic yet because I'm waiting for the morning for idem what reason. 180 some on ebay. What do y'all think? And yes if anyone has advice on cleaning the engine bay area and everything else that would be greatly appreciated. Will post final picture later. Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
Don't use water, just clothes, brushes, duster wands, vacuum and blow. Water sprayed in there can get REAL expensive. One sand-pounding item is the 12 volt connector atop the AC compressor: a perfect little cup for catching water, near impossible to repair (when it corrodes and/or shorts out), and have you priced compressors lately? Bottom line: don't go nuts on this; it's just an engine bay.
