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

I sometimes get a hand signal in the form of “you’re #1” .

But I also give that out on occasion .

 

I've got no one else to show these to, so you guys get to see some Prius drag pictures.

 

Since removing my sound system last year, I'm trying to quiet the cabin noise a bit for long road trips. One of the projects is to add a third door seal, piecing it together from various cars. Started today with the OEM Gen 4 edge weatherstrip:





Next up will be the bottom edges, for which I'll probably use Lexus LS500 weatherstrip.

 

Rainguards!
Now I can crack the windows on hot summer days when parked.

 

Very nice. Part numbers?

 

67895-47011 and 67896-47011. Less than $10 each.

 

It finally warmed up here in Winnipeg and I was finally able to grind that sharp point off in my wheel wells, install my 19's and drop the car. I took the screws out as per @granTORRESmo suggestion. Painted the ground down part with some rubberized asphalt paint to prevent from rusting. Drove it to work today and still heard it rub but not as much as usual. Will check it in the morning after I get home home and see where it's still rubbing .

 

Got rid of the plastic shifter and upgraded to something a bit more classy...

 

Finally got my suspension installed. Universal Air Solution Series with Airlift 3P management, two Viar 444s and pancake tank all mounted in spare tire area...Stock trunk floor retained. more to come!

 

Sick!

 

can you hear a difference?
was it worth buying?
did it fit out of the box?

 

Your front plate looks crooked.

 

It's custom...haha! I think only you and I noticed. The PO was a jackass. I've ordered the "correct" factory mount that I will be using to straighten it once my new plates come in 42-96 months!!! Damn Cali DMVs...

 

Sure does feel like it takes that long!

 

Just waiting to see road restoration happen with the gas hike “we” voted to keep which the previous governor ushered it in

 

I haven't driven the car yet since putting them on. I'm expecting little discernible difference until I get the rest of the edges weatherstripped too. They fit like factory except they're just a little short, so I think I'm going to buy one more to chop up and get the ~2" at the bottom of each door, then on to the rest of the panel edges.

 

Custom made window shades, maybe one day they will be tinted.

 

Why not just tint your windows

 

Tint still allows visible spectrum light in, while the radiant barrier blocks all visible light transmission and most infrared. Plus, you need more than tint for camping:

 

Saving up to buy a house with a garage next year and need to put a big down payment much as possible to keep monthly payments low so I can host Prius meet ups also. Being single in this situation is a disadvantage.

By the way, have you seen a video on youtube with some guy at a car meetup in a parking garage that just finished having lunch and came back to the meet and completely drooled over a red prius with body kit but had lexus emblem? Thought it was yours. Seen that video yet?
