I got my new Prius 3/19, easiest purchase I've made. I have a 104 mile round trip commute that I formally did in an Honda Element which gets about 23mpg. I've done my commute twice now in my Stealth Pod and I'm averaging 54.5mpg (per computer). 62.5mpg on the way to work yesterday :rockon: Anyway this is a great forum, learned a ton already. Here's a pic, I've tinted the windows, removed the hub caps and went to Lowes for the centercaps..... Bill
Sweet! Enjoy your new car, the Prius will continue to surprise you. In good ways of course. It becomes a game, really. Welcome to the forums!
Wow! What was. The cost of tinting the windows and did they tint the back window also where did you have it done? Barb a new Prius owner 211 base model
Thanks for the kind welcome! It's already made my commute more interesting, trying to keep the mpg up.... I had the tinting done at Black Diamond tinting in Valencia, CA. The guy has been there for at least 20 years, does the tinting for the local dealerships, he's done dozens of Prii. $225 out the door. Not the cheapest in the world but I trust him. Bill
And they did tint the back window(s). There 10 windows besides the windshield and they tint them all in less than 1.5 hrs. Bill
Four of those snap-in hole-filling doohickies, either in stainless or chromed, instead of Toyota-badged hub caps. I forget which is the correct size.
Exactly... Electrical box knockout seals painted gloss black, 1.5"... Thanks NoDakota, my StealthPod... Thanks MichGal, glad you like it. Bill
Very nice! I can't wait to get mine.... I too have a similar commute (distance wise). What percentage tint is that? Jose
