    Bought this prius on June 2, 2013. Here are my updates after a month. Special thanks to Rodney (master of mods), Bobby, Fritz and Priuschat for making me spend all this money to mod. Thanks for all the help and advice. So here she is... from the very beginning. image.jpg image.jpg

    Keep up the good work! The FRS wheels look great on silver and the Valenti CR is the best choice to go with silver.

    i have to agree with 32kcolors that the valenti cr looks great on your car. it also helps that pansow always have them on sale. i wish the cr were the same price. im jealous. i'm surprised that you overlooked the most commented on mod here - the jdm led turn signal mirrors. And what are your thoughts on window visors - official jdm or jdm -ish? If you want to go extreme, then there is the rear wiper removal. Folding mirrors?

    Thanks. I agree that the CR's complement the silver. Planning on changing wheels soon though.

    Thank you for the comments. Regarding the visors, I'm waiting for my shipment to arrive. I ordered the JDM visors. Also thinking about the turn signal mirrors. Folding or non folding. That is the question.

    Here's a pic of reverse lights I just took. There's still some sunlight out but it's still bright.

    Just finished installing steering wheel. Ordered from MIT Accessories on eBay. I was so happy that I finished pretty quickly when I realized I forgot to remove back cover from old wheel. So it took twice as long. Geez!!! Lesson learned. Here's a few pics...

    Airbag removed

    Used steering wheel removal tool (came in handy)

    Put everything back together and forgot the back cover... Dang it!!!

    Finally done...

    After steering wheel install I had some time to do visors. Original Toyota Prius visors from Nigel JDM parts.
