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

Had to go into to redo the rest of my windows 3m color stable. The other shit I had was a no go

 

Man, that looks dark.... Hope you're not rolling dirty.

@Accordlayingkit Where you been hiding my friend ???

 

Plan to redo my windshield even darker now

Currently have air 80 but thinking to do 3m crystalline 40 percent

 

Friends have Crystalline 40 all around and it’s so clean. B/c of the 3M 5% all around though, windshield will look reaaaally black from the front lol. Oncoming police can spot it almost immediately, just a heads up

 

Not looking to totally black out the front but enough where its not a clear view in

 

Haha was wondering if id get noticed! Been chilling bro & trolling for about a week! Working my tail off and just needed a long brake. Did alot pretty quick, some not as extreme as you guys but it's all I was thinking about, doing, spending money on etc.

Plus the wife and I had contributed to a little curb rash on a few of my wheels, had a screwed up tire, my exterior carbon fiber started to get the dull look no matter what I tried on it so I just rocked it like that with the factory wheels for the last year now. Didnt think I had anyone in my area that could repair my wheels or even wanna mess with the carbon and I definitely didn't wanna buy all brand new that's for sure.

So.....i found someone that said they could get my wheels fixed up and powered coated like I'm looking for(currently in the shop now) and found a body shop to mess with my carbon pieces(just got them back this week). Now I kinda got the itch again. I need some damn bags for real but that's not really on my list yet. Have a few ideas here and there $750 here, $500 there, $600 over there lol so well see. Trying to go back and see what all I've missed!

 

So here's my exterior carbon freshly sanded, new clearcoat, uv protection and some bronze pearl in it all! Waiting on new cf side mirrors to come in that needed to be replaced so I can take them to the body shop along with my gas door to get the same treatment. I'll probably take the CF side splitters that someone asked u about the other day @Burna J that have been in my attic for like 2 years so they'll match when I do decide to install them! Other than that, I've just really replaced my license plate LED's and fog light LED bulbs that went out.

 

Accord: ur car has got me considering a carbon hood but I refuse to use seibon (or as I call it "save-on" like the drug store lol.

 

Still got Advan

 

forgot about that one! Gotta a truck load of new stuff happening in the coming months prior to that before i put that one in serious consideration!

 

Lol.... I was going to ask you how your parts were holding up, since we bought them at the same time..... Years ago. Just had all my CF parts off and did the same.

I was on lunch break when I saw you post a Like. I was like Damn, haven't heard from that dude for a loong time... Great to hear that you and the family are doing good. And you still got your ride.
Looking forward to what's next.

 

Replaced my headlights this Monday because of water inside the housing (seems to be a rare problem) while I was at it I stuffed some switchback drl blinkers in there wich I still need to hook up. But just trying to decide whether I will use a spdt relay or use a switch .

 

Been a while since I've added anything but I picked up an ebay lip and rattle canned it, finally washed her too.

Of course had to pose for a quick photo shoot after a wash lol

 

Looking good. I plastidip black the bottom lip front also but no lip. How much did the lip job cost?

 

Thanks! The lip was 79 bucks. The spray paint total was like 20 bucks I think. Picked up a primer and super white spray can and put like 9 coats lol turned out pretty good if you ask me! Almost want to have my front bumper repainted because the lip turned out better than the bumper

Got the lip from these guys - MD-Style Front Lip (Urethane) Fits 12-15 Toyota Prius (Base Model) | eBay

Ive picked up a lip from them in the past when I had my subie. Good quality stuff for less than the real version of this lip.

 

620 miles to the tank after first click on gas pump with DTE down to 0. Refilled tank and clicked at 9.9 gals.

Drove to LA and back, thru the grapevine w/techstream connected to prius OBDII for the roundtrip. Additional battery charge bar will appear above the 8th bar (9th bar) when the HV is 75% charged. Max charge hold was 83% then I turned on AC full blast, headlight and B mode with brake pedal taps because didnt' want to be on the news "ball of flame down the grapevine."

 

Right on. Just surpassed 2,000 miles after switching to Royal Gray, was purple when pouring in , but it's just too thin at operating temp also. Moving on to 5w-30, only couple days of the year that temps are below 32F and mostly driving in cities at high revs.

 

I've been wanting to do something similar for a while now. LOL I contacted @sfv41901 for help years ago when we ordered the clear reflectors and just never got around to it. Did you just use normal spray paint? The ones I've seen all the subie guys doing have a nice translucent yellow... I think they use paint meant for mosaic glass.

 

I did ask them also but I don’t have a spare cos it does take a couple of hours to do overall. So I gunned it and did it myself. I used the the Krylon high gloss yellow paint. I wanted to use the stained glass version for a nice jdm look but I don’t know if it’s gonna stick to the high beam plastic housing cos it’s only made for glass material.

 

Ahh ok good to know... I'll eventually get around to this project lol
