    Here are a couple of mine: "Chuggypig" was born in 2009 and has 83k miles on the odometer, which is only just run-in for a Toyota.

    2010 Prius Gen III Model 3

    Here are the things I have done to make it perfect for me:
    1: remove the stupid hubcaps and buy Toyota center caps
    2: luckily the backup beep was already fixed before I bought it
    3: installed the 545T Auto Lamps system (I was constantly forgetting to turn lights off)
    4: installed OEM style fog lights
    5: installed TRD rear sway bar
    6: windows were already tinted which looks good on any car but looks doubly good on black
    7: installed rear bumper protector (I always have cargo in the back so this will help protect the looks)

    Nice looking wheels! (…and the wheels look pretty nice as well!)

    Well hello everyone! I'm currently at the dealership getting the recall done so I decided that it's finally time for me to stop lurking and start posting! Here's my new baby! Got her at the end of December. I also made seat covers for her too.

    Also what rims are out there that also are good on mpg? Links possibly?

    BTW - Welcome to the board! (I'm also a newbie) - I think you do great business with those splendid covers! Would you be interested in making a set for the Chuggypig, please?

    Temporarily, you could remove the plastic wheel covers and expose the black twin-spoke alloys underneath for a stealthy look.

    These Wedsports are nice.

    This looks like a great place to put some smoked tail lights.

    This is my first Prius, after driving a Prius C v1 for about a year.

    [​IMG]

    I'm still waiting for the plates.
    Just got the 30% tint all around.
    The Shark fin arrived the other day -- but I'm waiting for the weather to clear up.
    Smoked tail lights are in the hands of UPS at the moment.

    I wish someone would produce a good headlight kit for this car -- dark bg with halos -- that would rock.

    Someone on here did just that. Wasn't too complicated from what he described.

    In my opinion the plastic wheel covers scream out "base model!"

    Many modders & racers drive around with their 'steelies' on when their between wheels. I think this gives the steelies a racy kind of appeal through association. (I get the impression that some people will trade their expensive wheels for steelies plus cash as a way of borrowing from what they've invested in the car.)

    I think you should keep an eye on craigslist and ebay for a set of appropriate wheels for a good price. Then keep them on ice until you're ready for a new set of tires.

    This car looks amazing. Maybe you will consider a light tint on the lights, head & tail.

    I really like the look of the blacked out headlights!
    But that looks pretty extreme. Do you find the HIDs still perform pretty well despite the heavy tint?
