Related: About this forumAn easy way to improve your Toyota Prius gas miliage
I bought a 2010 Toyota Prius in 2010 and have started putting aftermarket parts on it.
To date I have:
* Replaced the front sway bar with a heavy duty one. ( Reduced front 'lean' when exiting from freeways.)
* Installed a Toyota (heavy duty) rear sway bar. ( This glued its ass to the ground.)
* Installed fog lights. (Toyota does not offer fog light kits, so aftermarket is your only choice. There are a few kits out there and I purchased one from a Georgia Toyota dealership because I fucking hate a web site that has lots of Toyota aftermarket parts - bad experience. I would suggest having your Toyota dealership install the kit as my local mechanic screwed it up and I lost my windshield wipers. And the damn things did not work as advertised.)
* Purchased and installed an INJEN cold air intake. ( I'm seeing about an 8 ~ 10% increase in mileage as well as more power.)
