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

Installed the Prius Plus body kit last weekend and finally got around to taking some pics. Steering wheel was installed today.
...and washed it just in time for the rain!

what to do next... hmmmmm

 

Got the 5 Million Hybrid Sticker today, are you guys going to put it on?

 

I don't understand why they called it a "badge". A true badge would have been better. Hopefully we can find a place to put this.

 

Dang it's huge...I ordered one too...now I'm thinking I'll put it somewhere other than on the car.

 

Yep, that will go great on my garage window.

 

Car is at the body shop right now. Got side swiped in front of my house. Let me tell you how happy I am about that. Figured while it was there, it's time to do the '12-'13 front end conversion. It's not cheap, especially because mine is a package five but it's gonna look so good when she comes back home!! Will post pics when it's all done.

 

Where'd u guys get it?

I installed clear bra material below the rear hatchback opening to protect against damage as things are stuffed into/dragged out of the back. I wanted a clear material, not the factory one with "Prius" on it, and couldn't find a pre-cut piece on EBay or Amazon or elsewhere. I ordered a 24" x 30" piece from RVinyl.com for $14.

Procedure (There are probably easier/faster ways, but this was very step-by-step):
Step 0: Liberally cleaned the bumper area with Mother's Showtime detailing spray.
Step 1: Covered the area I wanted to protect with 4 layers of blue painters tape.
Step 2: Using a long plastic ruler and the creases of the bumper, I marked the tape with a pen to outline the actual final shape of the protection.
Step 3: Transferred the blue tape piece to a large piece of leftover cardboard, and then cut that out on the line lines I drew to make the template. If you only use 1 layer of blue tape, it will change shape and likely tear hence my 4 layers.
Step 4: Placed the template over the bumper to check for fit. Since I actually wrapped it down the ~45 degree section as well, just not on the vertical, I couldn't test fit this part but trusted my tape job.
Step 5: Then placed the template over the clear bra material and used a exacto knife to cut out the material.
Step 6: Using a 25% IPA solution / 75% water, I sprayed my hands to get off dirt and grime (Don't forget this or you'll put finger prints on the adhesive of the clear film)
Step 7: Using a 25% IPA solution / 75% water, I sprayed the bumper in the area I will apply. Check again for particles that may have settled in the area. Once it looks perfect, move to Step 8.
Step 8: Peel the backing off the film.
Step 9: Apply film to bumper and work out the bubbles. The solution on the bumper will allow you to maneuver the piece / slide / etc until you get it right.
Step 10: Stop. It's good enough. Run away. Do not touch again - it will only get worse.

 

Just finished my DIY phone mount. Check it out!

Show me your... phone mounts! | PriusChat

 

Looks hard to shift

 

It's actually very easy to shift and comfortable. Imagine holding your phone in your hand and sliding it where it needs to go.

 

Roof spoiler came. My puppy is also excited


Quick install. Florida weather made it almost unbearable though

 

This is actually very clever. I like it.

 

In addition to finishing my DIY phone mount.

1) I finally got my Forgestar F14s mounted.
2) I had the dealer disable driver and passenger seat belt chimes.
3) I had the dealer enable manual recirculation control on the HVAC system
