Sup guys my bumper on the prius is damaged and i'm replacing it so i bought an unpainted bumper to do something cool to it. So far i'm thinking of covering it in either bumper stickers or comic boom pages then seal and clear coat it. If you can think of anything else that would be fun, throw it in the mix. And tell me what you think of the 2 ideas i got.

Paint it the same color as your car and install it.

I like sticker bombs when its a bumper or a fender. It's not like i'm going to sticker out the whole front end.

just realized this was a bumper thread. well,
heres the bagged prius i was looking for

but ya, that aimgain kit looks cool.
[EDIT: just realized the Aimgain pics i posted are also later gen. Max posted the correct gen.



I did look up Noblesse because they make a badass kit for the Fit. They do make a prius kit, but it is for a later gen :/

I'd honestly dump no money at all into such a car.

The Prius can be a good looking car and they have a good shape to work with. Aside from the bad reputation they get, they're a pretty decent car.
Here's a pic of a prius on some decent (albeit high offset) wheels. (it won't let me embed these pics. Sorry.)
http://priuschat.com/attachments/w1-jpg.25652http://priuschat.com/attachments/w3-jpg.25658Maybe someone can photoshop this lower? He was on Eibach springs. If this were on coilovers it would be perfect.
http://priuschat.com/attachments/w2-jpg.25653I do have a soft spot for the prius though. This was mine.

Would have looked decent lowered with some spacers, but I was in high school and the car was still my parents, even though it was basically mine. It was eventually gonna have my name on the title but it got totalled...

If you're set on dumping money in to this then I'd save your money and go big right away, the right wheels, aero etc. No one likes a half assed Prius. lol

My Prius was half assed. You know what happens to half assed Priuses? Fate deals with them.


hahaha. Good things came from that. Now I have a decent car.

I never tinted tail lights after that. I'm over plasti dip and niteshades. I've put that behind me haha

I'm glad I never had a plastidip or smoked light phase but I do have fake wheels so it's something.
bobbawon
Jan 8 2014, 10:50 PM
I was 17 and it was cheap and fun while it lasted. But I wouldn't do it again. Plastidip has it's place, but it's not a great method for painting your whole car or your wheels. And Niteshades is just a terrible product, all though I have considered using their red spray...
joshg51
Jan 8 2014, 11:37 PM
No just use tint like I did. Niteshade will have a rough finish unless you do a lot of sanding with a clear coat.

Pretty sure Max used spray on red stuff on his tails and they came out clean

Terrible fender fitment

If they lost the flares or had wider wheels it wouldn't be terrible.

You can see the front fenders don't fit that well but I like the design would like to see a front and rear universal set of those. Would work great for cars that want super aggressive wide body aero, like the red v8 Cressida on jzxproject, that car would look super boss with it. The rear fender angle is too flat so the wheel can't tuck in under compression, all it does is cover the wheel and tire which is why they haven't given the car super aggressive fitment.
