d2mini's 2012 Prius Five Progress Thread

I love my new floor! :rockon:

No.

 

Hardwired the V1 and installed the Blend Mount to hold it right under the mirror. Here's some pics of the hardwiring installation. The process is super easy and is a 10 minute job once you know what you're doing. There are two wires that come with the kit from Safe N Sound.

One wire is the power, and the other is the ground.
The mirror has 3 wires. Switched power, constant power and ground. What we want is the switched power wire, so the V1 goes off when you turn the car off. The switched power (in my 2012) is beige. The ground is black/white. So all you have to do is slide down the mirror wiring cover (it's two pieces and expands/contracts in length) then pop it off, revealing the white plug with the three wires. Then stick the SnS wires into the same holes. So the Red SnS wire gets pushed into the same hole that the beige wire is in, and the Black SnS wire gets pushed into the same hole as the black/white wire. Then just use a couple of the supplied cable ties to secure the new wiring to the old wiring so it doesn't work it's way back out. Test the V1 to make sure it turns on when you turn the car on, and turns off when you turn the car off. Now just shove the fuse and excess wiring up into the headliner, replace the mirror wiring cover and you are done! I also added the Blend Mount to hold my V1 instead of using the suction cups that came with it.

No, it comes with zilch.
Had to go to my local tax office with my insurance to get temp tags.
Then once I get all the official paperwork, I go back to pay the sales tax and register the cars.

 

UPDATE:

Eibach Pro Kit springs were installed last weekend.
Took me about 4 hours, dropped the rears a solid inch and a bit more in the front with the new bump stops, giving it a nice forward rake.

Today I will be receiving my Prius Plus Package Wheels via the big brown truck!
Those will get installed tomorrow (swapping my Toyos and TPMS from the stock 17's) and the car will be getting an alignment because of the lowering spring install.

I have a curt hitch sitting in the garage ready to go on, maybe this weekend. And I just ordered a Yakima Holdup hitch rack for my bikes!

Pics to come.

 

Shouldn't it go by mileage?
Everything I've seen says a week is about right and I drive about 500 miles per week.

 

Wheels are loaded up and heading to the shop!
