    I hope I don't regret doing this at night. I'm thinking that I'll jump in and jam up to Torrance, and as soon as I get parked I'm suddenly going to see all the weird smudges and water spots. :)

    Hey, you're in LA. Why don't you bring it to the Toyota industry day tomorrow and meet the Priuschat brothers and show us the new ride!

    @Starbrand lets reschedule the meet. I completed my android headunit, amp and subwoofer install. all speakers are JL audio. The sound are so clear and fine. I hate to leave my car and always wanted to stay in there and chill. :)

    Really wish I could! But we're doing a road trip to Colorado for a wedding! I don't know many people that buy a car and drive it 1000 miles the next day, but it passed the Toyota safety inspection with flying colors, has new tires, brakes, and oil; so I'm feeling good!

    Can't wait to meet y'all at a meet up though! I've been lurking here for a while, and definitely have learned more about this car than the dealer I bought it from! I'm expecting to drop some cash on mods, and totally expect to give that dough to SFV to help me install awesomeness on my new toy!

    I drove mine to Tahoe the morning after I bought mine. A new set of wheels always makes a road trip that much more fun.

    Washed the white Prius for the first time. Just a quick one but I have to say that I much prefer washing this one that the old Forester I had : Clean lines, limited curved panels and a reachable roof !

    Only thing I couldn't clean, areas close to the rear door protected by some kind of clear film ... any advice ?

    Installed Cproaudio's turn signal reverse camera activation mod+ navigation override mod from the Priuschat store today. Pretty straight forward install, quality kit. Love it so far!

    The dealer put those on.
    It was a good move on their part too. Without them, I might have just kept walking down the line.

    30k service

    oil filter cap was tight as expected from dealer service under the 2yr 24k service deal... Transmission fill/drain screws were extremely tight. The transmission fluid was darker than expected at 30k....so I feel good about having a fresh fluid in there.


    Total
    Engine Oil
    Transmission Fluid
    Engine air filter
    Cabin air filter
    Tire Rotations
    and misc. "inspect" items ... lol

    Today I was modifying the extra L/R front door SKS wiring harness to fit into the rear doors. The harness has a stiff plastic tube that helps route the wires around the front door lock assembly & glass.....however since the rear doors are smaller, these tubes needed to be shortened. Also ordered some clip in zip ties to keep the wires out of the path of the glass. Will only need 2 of them. Now it's time to wait till I get them to finish

    I've got a bag of those clip-n-zips. I would have brought you some yesterday, had I known you needed them.
