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

Moreover, was the upgrades worth the cost? =]

 

Absolutely 100% worth the cost. The HIDS were around 120/130 I think. That is with the wiring harness as well. The LED kid was $80 and makes the interior bright as hell! Its nice to have the stealth bulbs to get rid of that awful amber color that the normal bulbs cause. The stealth bulbs were $7 each, very much worth it! Tinting the 3rd brake light was free and I love how it makes the back of the spoiler all one color, much more smooth looking!

Hope to of helped ya at all!

 

Got these Motegi SP10 wheels put on today. 15"

 

The Turtle Wax Black Box didn't survive the first rain...

Used some of my friends' Surf City Barrier Reef and it turned out awesome and no mess. I hope it holds up longer than the Turtle Wax did.

 

I did a few things today

1) Drained and filled transmission fluid.
2) Trimmed under tray so that it properly fits with the Cusco front brace. The Cusco front brace fits with the under tray unmodified, but it bulges where the brace sits and you can't secure the last few.
3) Installed my repainted aftermarket steering wheel, now with Dupli-Color Bed Armor
4) Installed Hotchkis rear sway bar

I'll have to install the Hotchkis front sway bar another day.

 

TRD lowering springs installed

 

Put on my Ebay "JDM style" Window vents last night, and did a mini photoshoot.


Then today took off the wheel covers and added a pinstripe to the wheels. The 3 dollar center caps are drying and will be put on tomorrow.

 

Lowered with TRD springs...just took it for a ride and whoa...

Pics tomorrow since it midnight...

 

Are you looking to sell the wheel covers that you took off by any chance?

 

No, sorry. Gonna keep em for when I decide to part with the car.

 

Very well, understandable. Photos look good by the way!

 

Swapped the courtesy lights for LED. I was concerned about them throwing enough light, but they're just as effective as the original bulbs.

 

Hey did you do your springs yourself? Did you notice a ton of loctite on the bolts that attach the knuckle to the strut assembly?

 

dealer installed

 

Ah...gotcha...your better off. I managed to bend a ratchet and mess up my shoulder pretty good...what'd they charge you?

 

Yeah I knew the front springs were complicated to install. parts+labor was $400 + $69 alignment + tax.

 

Try unscrewing that from the other end.. It will come off much easier.. Trust me I broke my favorite ratchet.. Then took a crappy ratchet to the other side (the nut side) and whalla easy peasy!!

 

Installed the MIT mirrors. The only disadvantage is that at night, the puddle lights is ON while driving and that's get's too much attention from other drivers.

 

If the puddle light is on(the one that shines at the ground) and you don't want it on, u have to tap into a different wire..
