Should start a poll. Who has a crack and who doesn't?

Including who has already replaced their original.

It's going to be like 99.100% with crack and -0% without. And if they say oh mine's fine, they havent' actually looked.

Bought a pair of new in box Zimmerman rear rotors for $30! Don't need them yet so they will sit in my spares inventory.

Occasionally I'll look on Craigslist for parts and saw these for $50. The seller lived a little far from me so I offered to buy at asking price if they'd meet halfway. They responded I could have them if I came to pick up since they no longer own the car and don't need them. Being the tough negotiator I am, I offered $30 picked up. I had to go not far from their location Sunday so felt a little bad getting them for nothing.

Add this to finding rear M guide arms on Amazon for $150/pr, last week I'm on a roll for bargains. 2 days later the guide arms were $200+

Your car certainly isn't a garage queen. You seem to have loads of fun with it.

Certainly not in that company lol. Everybody else's cars sounded glorious, mine was quiet and subtle (a good thing, sometimes). And, my God, the -35i's are fast in a straight line (I kept up with ease in the corners, though)!

Yeah, the Prius is always in stealth mode.

Thanks for the info.

And good your car is blue (LeMans Blue?) so you could do that with the i.

PS - guess it could've been Crimson Red and still worked dotting the i by using a piece of the red strip.

Hmm, that might be true... If I do have a crack in my third brake light, it's not obvious.

Pics of theirs, anyone?

The cracks in my third brake light are obvious. You can't miss them. If you have a crack, you would know.

Here's a quick pic of the crack in the center. The other one is on the driver's side of the light.
