    Picked up my beautiful silver Prius II yesterday. It has been a fun weekend so far and the car (and my family) even survived a possible tornado this afternoon :eek:
    I'm thinking about a few simple mods--splash guards (Euro style), the back bumper protector and maybe a portable xm unit. I'll probably get window tint at some point as well. I'm just a bit worried about the splash guards and having to drill a hole to install the rear ones.
    Oh...and remember how I was worried about dealer badges and decals? They put a license plate surround on, which I am content to leave on. The experience was a bit long and drawn out but by far a more pleasant experience than buying my Hyundai 8 years ago.

    So fun and so thrilled to be a legit member here!!!

    Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat :welcome:

    From the sounds of yesterday's Indiana weather, you should consider the storm-cellar mod for your new Prius :D

    Enjoy the high MPGs, technology and low emissions.

    Congratulation on the new car and all your mods will definitely ad your own touch to it.
