I have the trim rings for the car.

The car has different springs on it than the original stock springs. (I also have the original springs in a box)

Doax rode in the car, he can tell you more about the suspension than I, because he's had a Prius far longer than I.

The Hymotion kit is 5KWh of lithium batteries.

The car with the Hymotion Kit and extra set of tires was $3000 over blue-book of a similar stock Prius. That's less than some other used Prius and a Enginer kit! (And free snow tires to boot!)

I guess that a grill block, block-heater, and EV switch are all in my future.
