What Did You Do To Your Gen II Today?

washed my car and replaced a headlight bulb

 

lookin' sharp. I got to do that to my tail lights. looks way better than stock.

 

Can you remind me you wheel specs/suspension setup? Really like that RPF1 setup. Curious if you are running a +35 offset.

 

OEM Prius front struts, OEM Corolla XRS rear struts, Tein Toyota Matrix lowering springs, and 17x9 RPF1's

Scrapping this crap suspension in the near future but still trying to decide between BC or Fortune Auto , I'd like to run a 10" in the rear to match the poke in the front. The offset i'm not quite sure, but that sounds about right(I'll pop a wheel off to check once it stops raining). I got these for $300 w/ the crusty OEM Prius wheels, so now I have two sets of RPF1's to mess around with! lol

 

Washed. Waxed. Tire Rotation. Oil Change. Upgraded Wiper Blades. Front Brakes. Added Chevron Fuel Injector Additive. Full tank of Techron….
Side note.. anyone know the newest Nav software the Gen II can handle?
Happy Saturday & Happy Holidays

Badd @$$ Gen II ::thumbs up:: ::Gen2BowDown::

I can't get the rear panel off to access the bulbs

 

Check out this video - it might help you.

 

Filled it at 2 pips. Broke the bank at $12.44 for 6 gallons... Grinning so hard on my way home my cheeks hurt

And yes, I 'get' that this is a mod thread... But that unfortunately was about all I could do yesterday. Lots of plans, zero time.

 

Thanks so much I will try when its warmer and have a go again.. I need to get the panel off regardless as I need to replace the hatch handle… It's all gooey.. Thanks for the link … fingers crossed..

 

Took a short drive on Skyline Drive

 

Picked up a very clean set of 17" Persona wheels for the low Low LOW crazy price of $125 for all 4. 1 of the wheels has a crack and should cost no more than $75 to fix, the other 3 are nearly perfect. I got lucky to find these.

After I find tires and put them on, my car should look something like this but with tint on the front windows and no side marker lights.

 

I wouldn't trust a welded wheel. I've seen several that were welded, and cracked again, right next to the weld.

 

My thoughts are the same and led me to start looking for a single wheel which is only $120 on ebay. Safety is more important than a $50 savings.

 

Exactly, just pickup one good used wheel and you've got a great looking Gen2 with those 17" Persona wheels.

 

Did it a few days ago, but did the stealth EV mode (flash to pass button).....

Before that, DDM ultra bulbs 5500k.....just added 3000k HIDs in fogs, still can't tell any difference....a retrofit or just addition of fogs might be in order. If I just add fogs next to OE fogs, I'll set up the OE ones as DRLs...

LED license plate lights, full interior upgrade to LEDs planned....

 

Took mine for an off-roading trip


Merged.

 

Got some new 'TRD' wheel caps ...



Wanted to dress up the wheels a little.

 

Installed the MFD / Navigation hood that arrived this morning from the PriusChat shop. Also went to Big Lots and picked up the cable to play my daughter's ipod as well as the music on our phones and tablets through the car's stereo. I'll pop six CDs in the changer before we leave on vacation, easily having another 100 GB of music available without hauling a bunch of CDs and cases along.

 

Added leather wrapped steering wheel; gawd that took forever threading that thing... But the steering wheel is thicker and feels better and looks much newer and cleaner inside.

And updated the navigation with the new map disc..

Next time to replace the OEM rubber mats with new ones...

 

Changed the cabin filter today, since the last owner hadn't in awhile and it was hella dirty..

 

Thinking about ordering the rear bumper guard, anyone have one on a Gen II in the Green? I'm not sure about a piece of black plastic hanging out on the back of the car; but then again I'm not liking seeing all the scratches from my mom hauling all this stuff in and out and the clear bra is peeling from being snagged... not sure which is worse..... scratches in the paint, the peeling or the clear bra or the black plastic hanging out staring at you...

Thoughts?
