    You know sometimes when I browse all the great things Prius owners are adding and doing to their vehicles it makes me upset that I'm so unskilled in those areas.

    But I know my strengths and weaknesses. With most of these projects I just have to marvel at the final results. I damn near killed myself just trying to get my Wheelskin steering wheel cover installed and I'm happy when I get the self stick Blind Spot mirror in the right place.

    But there are certainly some real nice upgrading going on...

    Yes, they are the same. Should be no different compatibility-wise between 2013 and 2012.

    The complete install took me about 4 hours could have done it faster but took my time.

    Nope just asked a lot of questions prior to install. But actual install is pretty easy simple. Bumper came off in 5 min.

    Here's a recent pic of my Prius. Its a little dirty but there's been fires out here in Socal so haven't got around to washing it. Got a few more plans for it soon such as lowering springs, HID's, etc, but that will come in due time.

    Picked up a nifty organizer that fits perfectly below the "bridge". It is a Rubbermaid "Bento" in small size, with configurable dividers inside. $7 at Target.
