    I was pleasantly surprised that my new piece of furniture fit in the back my Prius with no problem. It's like a pick up truck with awesome MPG. image.jpg image.jpg

    Taillights look awkward but I like everything else you've done.

    Looks great, gives the Prius a much more aggressive look. :)

    Agree, not feeling the tail light paint job. Also, I think he means "brushed" aluminum on the caliper holders, not burled aluminum. ;)

    Took off the "Prius" emblem and relocated the "Plus" emblem to cover the holes.

    How hard was it? I realized my car is harder than most others cause I had all kinds of sensors and the headlight washers to work around when I put the switchbacks in...

    This was my 5th swap so for me its really easy.....others might find it difficult.

    Having the ATP won't make it any harder....just take a lil longer cause there's more to swap over to the new bumper cover.

    they probably didn't make a blue ribbon front bumper cover for 2012 so i don't think its worth the effort. if i am going to do any painting, it will be on a body kit :(

    Installed HID 4.5k, LED parking lights on the way.

    Installed Prius Chat Fog kit

    OttoNavi Navigation Unit with Prius rear camera is on the way

    Bright Chrome lower door mold is on the way

    Tinting side/rear windows 35% and 20% rear hatch this Friday. (Any pics out there of this tint combo? I found a photo on PriusChat on my phone after hours of search, then went to my computer and can't find it... considering doing 20% all around although I live in Rainy Seattle and night driving in the city would be a pain!)

    Bought set of 4 15" OEM wheels to mount new snow tires

    Looking for a new shift knob...

    My post one above yours is as close as you can get. If you don't have any tinting laws id go 20% all the way around. If you drive a lot at night then 35 might be a safer option.

    We do, WA is 35% but if you have a truck you can do 20% rear and back.

    After I wrote my post, I was thinking the same thought you are regarding safety (seattle, tight streets, rain/night -- don't want to hit anyone!) so will likely stick with 35% although will prob do 20 rear hatch/small window. The rear view mirror is useless anyway when raining at night, right? :)
