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

Where do you end up getting your fog lights and grill. It seems that might be my next investment. =]

 

What is the permenantly illuminated lights purpose?

 

I feel like they're like parking lights, but white in color and on the side mirrors, if that makes any sense.

Still can't afford those Rays wheels I want, so to amuse myself until I can, I plastidipped the wheel covers. I used white and then pearlizer on top - 2 cans of white and one of the pearlizer, but I have about half a can of white leftover. Kind of interesting, but not great. The final color is just slightly more silver than the BP. If I hadn't used the whole can of pearlizer, they would have been whiter, which I think I would have preferred. The nice thing is that the matte finish doesn't water spot when you wash the car. I've always wanted white wheels so this gives me a chance to try it out.

 

Finished the install of my custom LED mirror turn signal and puddle lights. The puddle lights are wired to the rear interior dome light and are controlled in the same way as the dome light operation (instant on, delayed off, etc.).

More info on how I did this can be found here:

I washed, clayed and waxed mine today.

 

Thanks for the heads-up. Fixed it, so it should be viewable by all now.

 

That's really slick.

 

Did you clay the whole thing or just certain spots? That reflection in that bottom pic looks awesome. What are you using for wax / polish?

 

Clayed the entire thing. I tried out the Turtle Wax Black Box stuff and it did a nice job, but the wax is literally black liquid... I'll wear gloves next time.

 

You have a PM.

 

Switch to Zaino. No mess and smells nice too!

 

That's what I keep hearing.

 

Modded my tail lights:

Ditto. Very easy to work with and produces great results.

 

looks nice! what kind of bulbs did you use for the front signal lights?

 

I can't get the link ?, or at least not easily. I have the bulb info in the third post in that thread.


iPad ?

 

Lesson learned: Plasti-Dip on the steering wheel does not last long. It will eventually peel up from the constant rubbing, etc.

Why did I Plasti-Dip the steering wheel? The aftermarket steering wheel I bought was part leather and colored black/blue. The color was hideous so I threw on some extra Plast-Dip that I had around. Not only was it cheap, but I also favored the feel of the rubber texture in my hands while gripping the steering wheel.

Today I pulled the aftermarket steering wheel off. I prepped, and primed the surface. I then applied Dupli-Color Bed Armor Feels great in the hands. Going wait 24 hours before installing it back on the race car ( ).
