    Anyone know where I can find that black shift knob? ;) I tried to look on eBay with no luck. Not trying to pay an arm or a leg for it.

    Okie Dokie, finally plugged in the Weathertech all weather floor liners. Purchased them on eBay from Weathertech's direct account. These suckers are nice!

    Wife bought me some budget pleather universal seat covers. Actually don't look that bad! A little loose, but gets the job done and keeps the seats clean! Purchased them from Amazon *FH Group Deluxe Leatherette Set #FH-PU007* (thanks for the recommendation @Johnsk93 !)

    [​IMG]

    Last but not least, finally picked up the SSR Comp Type C's custom powdercoated in Satin Black from Nick at RMS Rolling & Coating in Fremont, CA. They do a fantastic job and I would recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area who needs powdercoating/painting/chrome work, etc.

    Found some lightly used 215/45/17 Michelin Primacy MXM4's from a local craigslist seller. Tires had 7/32 left, so it was a no brainer for the SSR's. Next step is to have the TRD springs installed. Can't wait!

    Starbrand. Good call on the iOttie Easy One Touch 2. This the best one out there. Stick to plastic really tight.

    I restored the stereo back to mostly stock and traded the Prius in for just about an opposite car. Thanks everyone for the help, support, chats, and fun!

    time to do the easiest mod... popped off hubcaps and instead of buying overpriced centercaps...
    [​IMG]

    Simple DIY solution to cover the center!
    $7.50 w/tax. only tool needed is some needle nose pliers to stretch out and rebend the ends so they are snug when you snap them in.

    at Home Depot, go to Electric Aisle and search for Knockout Seals. Get four 1 1/2" for 98cents. (I bought 2 extra for spares)

    Not sure if I got right spray paint. but went with Rustoleum's Outdoor Gloss Black Paint and Primer.

    You have to take needle nose pliers to stretch out the ends, then bend a little back so they snap in.

    Another easy mod...my favorite kind... :rolleyes:

    ...no tools required... (y)

    ...set in place and lock in with a pair of bumper clips... :)

    You use the same high tech spray booth as I do...

    New Glass by Pilkington. Highly recommended if you don't want to spend $1000 on oem glass.

    Went ahead with the visor 6 inch tint At 32% to stay consistent with all the other windows at 32%.

    I always go with 5 or 20 percent tint for a windshield strip application.

    More (mis)adventures with PlastiDip... :cool:

    With the weather sunny and in the mid 70's(yes, that is above zero :p ), it was time to finish what I started several weeks ago... :rolleyes:
    Now all the badges are pearl white. :)

    Going to play around with some carbon fiber vinyl on the area that had the electric blue wave.



    Just playing around, making a little contrast against all the black under the hood... :ROFLMAO:
