I have been using search for days now to find the thread I saw a few months ago that had a picture in it. The picture was of a bunch of 2010 Prii sitting either in a lot or on a ship from Japan, and they had the eye hooks screwed into the holes on the front bumper and i believe they did not have the wheel covers on. I also remember there was discussion in that thread about how there were four tie down points, four eye hooks, and we only get one with the car. I'm really just looking for the picture. I've tried searching eye hooks, tow points, ship, Japan, etc. with no luck. If anyone knows where it is, I'd appreciate a link....Thanks!
Hope you find it.. I don't even remember seeing that one. Do you recall any particular user that posted to that thread? Did you?
Well this is not the picture you describe...but here is one Prius with the tow hook in place: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...hopping-prius-grappling-hook.html#post1248327
Thank you all. Stream, I am not sure if that is the exact pic but it will do for what I needed it for. It probably is the right pic. It's been so long I forget. Thanks for the find.
That pic is from April 2009, outside the Prius factory in Japan (or at a holding lot at the port, can't remember which), taken by a forum member (apparently the first lot of 2010 Prii).
I think it was posted to show it at the port with the hooks for transportation. Also, all II-IV Prius are transported without the wheel covers and they're put on after they're unloaded from the truck at the dealer.
