Another update ish, I installed TRD skirts, lip, rear diffuser, modified the factory exhaust with functional dual outlets/tips. I updated to 2018+ taillights but I am still in progress for figuring out the turn signal problem (already have LED flasher relay installed without any luck). I’ll likely do another thread once that’s all done to my liking.

Do these tallights fit a 2013 model? Considering these but have been getting conflicting information on compatibility because of the hatch appliqué panel.

These taillights will work on a 2011-2020 CT. You just have to make sure you get the hatch garnish as well since it’s different

Thanks! This helps! Do you have the part number by chance you can share?

Love the build bro! I just picked up a 17 CT F sport a few months ago white as well, got tired of driving my prius but loved the prius MPG lol. Just wanted to say thanks for all the updates and photos, You are inspiring my current CT build. Love the white on bronze color combo.

Definitely inspiring!

Been looking for outlets/tips like these for a similar modification. Don’t want to spend on a new exhaust system. If you don’t mind what kind of outlets are these?

Found them on eBay, here's a link to the exact tips/outlets I bought

2x SS Bolt-On Square Exhaust Tip Rolled Oval Slant 2.5" Inlet - 5.5" x 3" Outlet | eBay

• Tip Style:Rolled Oval Slant. • Rolled edge Oval Slant design. • Ideal for vehicles with diesel exhaust system. • Enhance the appearance of your car. • Prevent the tail pipe deformation, to prevent the heat back.

As far as the piping, you would only need 2.5" 90 Degree Elbow / Piping, if you're picky then you can get SS Mandrel bends like the one below

2.5" 90 Degree Exhaust Elbow Mandrel Bend Stainless Steel Pipe Piping | eBay

<li> Description:</li> <li> <ul> <li>100% Brand New</li> <li>Made of High Quality Stainless Steel</li> <li>Color: Silver</li> <li>Inlet tip Outer diameter: 2.5 inch</li> <li>Outlet tip Outer diameter: 2.5 inch</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Thickness: 0.05"(1.25mm)</li>...

I'm a little curious as to what you did for the second outlet as well, did you just cut a hole into the driver side of the factory muffler or something? I'm trying to retain the factory exhaust sound with the stock muffler, last thing I want is to amplify the sound of a prius motor paired to a CVT

Good question. I’d like to know this as well

I thought there wouldn't be an exhaust note change since I modified tips on the stock muffler. However, there is a subtle deep tone to it. I cut a hole on the other side, fed part of the 2.5" pipe through for the 2nd outlet. There is baffling that goes out the stock outlet, while the left/driver side of the muffler was empty. I do not notice the sound at all while driving, only outside the car when idle. It is very subtle so I do not mind it. View attachment 61407 View attachment 61408

This looks great. I also wouldn’t mind a deeper idle but not looking drastically change the sound. Thanks for sharing your process with all of us. Really grateful!

P.S. did you weld yourself or take to a shop?

Hey, for the hatch garnish, how do I know what part number to get for the color I need? (212 — Obsidian (black))

The two blacks it comes in are 7680176040C0 (black) and 7680176040C1 (obsidian black)

I’d imagine you’ll probably need 7680176040C0

Thanks for your help! Even though I have the Obsidian color?

There’s a similar thread on clublexus, comparing 202(black/onyx) and 212 obsidian. If we were talking door panels or hoods or fenders, maybe i’d paint it yourself with the right code. for plastic trim pieces I wouldn’t bother. The way paint hits plastic vs. galvanized steel or aluminum panels always looks slightly different anyway.

the thread is in the 2nd gen IS forum titled “Is there any difference between Black Onyx (202) or Obsidian (212)?”

edit: if you do end up getting it unpainted and painting it yourself, the last two digits (C0 in your case) indicate paint color. you can find the part number for unpainted with a little searching. I recently repainted one of my Audi’s in my garage with a harbor freight sprayer with axalta coating’s challenger low voc base coat. half pint should give you enough to paint it twice in case you mess up for around $40. I used Valspar’s V-series European clear and ran about $200 for the 7.5 liter kit, but it’s good for a couple years if you do any bumper resprayings etc in the future. I had great results with these.

This is helpful. Thank you!
