Here are my mods on my 24 prime we got last weekend.... Wheel spacers (1") Roof spoiler UFO noise eliminated Dashcam pass through power adapter for radar detector Blacked out front fishmouth (glossy plastidip) Front splitter Door sill protection (cheap amazon issue) 3D max floor liners Torklift stealth hitch Gas hood struts Center console organizer Seat gap fillers Canvasback dog liners for cargo area Debadged (except for prime badge) I got a couple more in mind, but car is mostly setup now.
It's a super easy install - maybe 15 minutes. I don't which kit AddMoreGas used, but I picked up one from Amazon for around $30. (It's the only 3rd party thing from Amazon/etc. I've added to my car.) Links to Amazon pages are broken on this site, so just search there for: "Hood Struts/Lift Supports for 2022- Prius XW60 | with Installation Guide" I will say I'm a tiny bit concerned about the long-term effects of using hood struts on a hood not designed for them. I'm taking my car to TCCN next month for its 2-year inspection and service, and I plan to ask AMD if he's seen any negative effects of these in his 15-year career. I'm a little concerned that the hood could warp/bend over time or the paint could fail due to repeated flexing it wasn't designed for. If he gives it a clean bill of health, I might try replacing the aftermarket parts with OEM Toyota/Lexus parts over time. It will be a bit of a bother finding the right length/strength struts and the right shaped brackets, but I suspect I could figure something out with a little trial and error.
Amazon.com: Hood Struts/Lift Supports for 2022- Prius XW60 | with Installation Guide | Auto Modification Parts | 1-Year Quality Warranty (Iron (Black)) : Automotive Cheap and easy mod. Install is straightforward, with common sense. Instructions don't say to remove the factory manual prop rod - however it did interfere with hood shutting after installing new strut so removed it. I only installed one side and kept the other as spare though it ships with mounts and struts for both sides if you desire. 20250320_175514-COLLAGE by AddMoreGas posted Mar 20, 2025 at 7:03 PM
