Hmmm...

I'm not feeling it right now. It looks "pixelated".

I would prefer a LED "tube" than a strand of single LEDs...

looks pretty similar to the 2011 IS
at least it looks integrated vs. all those ebay/pepboy specials that people are just slapping on

I admire your creativity and will always be partial to individuality done properly. It looks ok, what I would like to see is better pics and angles. Maybe a better resolution or close up and perhaps a night shot. Good job from what I see. However I do think a tube may have been better.

Fine by me. Show us more 2010 Prius pics when you get a chance. The current gen is the only Prius I like.

bagwell:

save up some money and get this instead (integrated LEDs in the bumper):




see this link for more pics of the hybrid sport: http://www.aimgain.net/products/aero/insight.html

or the main prius page below for other kits with built in LEDs:

I like the look Bagwell, but how did you get your fogs to light up with parking lights?

I stil want to say they look nice, but also need better pics. Can you take some in regular light and before sunset so we are not dependent on the LED lights for light.
I'm sure the iPhone can provide good enough image though, for something like this it's not crappy enough.
