What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Yep, just won't tell ya how long it's taken me, especially after my little error with locking the drivers door shut with everything disconnected and panel in place

Thanks, it is definitely tedious work but I'm not in a rush so its all good

As for the floor I'm not sure I'm up for pulling the front seats and center console. But we'll see in the future. Do you think the floor was worth it to do? Did it help greatly?

I agree with the roof it would be nice but have to pull half the car apart to do that

 

I didn't remove the console, was afraid that it would rattle after putting it back together. I just folded the carpet up to the console so I could add a layer of ccf/mlv.

I also did the car in sections like you're doing. It is so subjective, just drive it and see if you think you can hear where noise is coming from and decide whether you want to chase it down. My PIP had a good amount of factory deadener on the floors, so it didn't need any dynamat, and there is about .75" of jute absorber under the carpet. In the front, it looked like the carpet also had a very thin, maybe 2mm, layer of an MLV like material on the bottom of the carpet. On asphalt highways here, my PIP is incredibly quiet but on rough ones, tire noise still comes in but it is much quieter than my GF's stock PIP. The doors made the most dramatic impact, after that maybe the rear area under the battery and rear quarter panels, then the rear seat floor and then the front floor, in that order.

 

I'm trying to decide if this is the car I shadowed on the 15 North on-ramp this morning.

 

LED's installed today. OPT7 6000K 3500Lms

 

Looks awesome!

 

Did this today!

This was a night/day differnce even at lower speeds. I broke a nut for wiper assembly so be careful when you tighten them!!!!

 

Heck yea looks good!

 

Tanabe strut bar is great, but it will blocked the fuse box cover. I hope you know about it before you get it. I rather buy the Cusco version it clear the access to the fuse box cover.

 

Thanks

It does cover it, and thankfully, I can still get the cover off so I'm happy!

Cusco is nice but I rather suffer the fuse box then pay almost a $100 more

 

Ta-da!

 

Installed the Toyota OEM JDM Visors today (they were sitting in our home office for 5 months lol).

Also installed the Dai Yoshihara DY-37C Wheels 18x8 +40 offset wrapped in Continental Extreme DWS 225/40/15. Love these wheels, because they remind me of the Racing Hart Type C Wheels from the mid-late 90s that you saw on Integras, CRX's, etc. Just wanted to have that throwback feeling like I'm back in High School/College haha.



In the front I have about 1 finger clearance in the wheel well and in the rear about 1.5 fingers. May adjust the rears a little more to even out the drop.

I'm glad I didn't go with a wider wheel and aggressive offset, because tires look to be close enough to the edge of the fender. Whew! Lol

 

Dang! how much clearance it has between the cover and the bar? I like Tanabe products more than Cusco. Is it possible take a picture with cover on the and show the clearance of the fuse box cover? Thanks in advance.

 

It's not even an inch but the plastic bends itself out

 

I travel north 163 and get on the 15 to get to Poway. I have a Domo sticker on my rear window. Don't think it was me you saw...I would've noticed your G'd front end.

 

I was on 15N to 52W. This Prius could have bern your twin. It had a Jan/16 registration which could make it a 2015.

Yep. There's no confusing my WMG G with any other car in San Diego county.

 

Yeah that wasn't me, got my Prius in April.

 

What brand of pedals are those you have installed?

 

Not sure of the brand but where they came from is in this link..
