x3kenster's Prius C build
Hey guys, just thought I'd make a thread for my Prius C's modification progress. I purchased the car last month on May 16th. I have a lot of little plans for it but mostly just to make it look clean and simple. If I can't go fast, might as well look good going slow!
The night I traded my 2007 GS350 AWD in for my 2013 Prius C3 MAY 16th 2013  So far, I picked up a set of protoype Megan Racing coilovers from Garm at MICRO IMAGE. Garm and Jeff are great guys and very knowledgeable. Jeff took care of me and made sure I had everything I needed and took the time to answer any questions I had. Definitely recommend these guys! June 8th 2013  Before  After    My wheels should be coming in sometime this week as well. Also ordered through MICRO IMAGE. Future Mod List: Roll/shave fenders Tint windows Axleback exhaust Hid headlights/fogs LED interior/exterior Shark fin antenna Aftermarket lip kit JDM rear spoiler Do something about the chrome headlight/taillights Possible black out front bumper/rear/and roof Thats all I can think of so far. Thanks for looking and please check back for updates ! Kenny Oh, and last but not least, I want to give a big thanks to 1.5 aka Phil on this forum. Hes been very helpful with answering any questions I had regarding parts, wheel specs, tire specs, suspension info etc.

Installed tires and test fitted the wheels. Need fenders rolled/shaved, more camber, and more low.

I read Onwrdigo's post re what he read in Automobile Magazine. So we now know that the first French Built Yari are on their way and that production will shift to Mexico for the 4th Generation '2016.5'.
Anyone have any info on the future path of the Prius C? How much longer it will continue to be built in Japan? Will the second generation start as a '2016.5' like the Yaris? -- etc. |

That might be dependent on demand. Around here, the C is getting more and more numerous, though I don't know the actual sales figures. I do know I see a lot more of them than the new Yaris.

 Some updates for now... Im waiting on my rear camber shims from realcamber.com to come in so i can install them and get the fenders shaved and roll with the wheels installed. Although, ive been having some second thoughts on these wheels and everytime i look at them, they seem to be getting bigger and bigger and making me want to sell them and get 16s instead... Any thoughts on 17s vs 16s? |

^ Nice. Are those the same as the ones for the Yaris? I've been meaning to try our hub spacers on mine.
