    Hello,

    Can you tell me what color you have coated your rims in?

    Saul.

    Hi Saul,
    I believe it was Nebula Gray, the new Lexus gray color.

    I've been slow to modding my Prius, but here's what I've done and in the works...

    1. O-NEX 6000K Slim Ballast HID
    2. Tein H-Tech lowering springs
    3. Toyota TRD Rear Sway Bar (installing this weekend)
    4. 18 x 8 Niche Circuit M110 or Niche NR6 M-106 (December) *I can't decide between the two wheels* wrapped in Falken ZIEX ZE-912 225/40/18

    More in sig

    1. JDM leather steering wheel Piano Black Wood
    2. OEM fogs with 3000k HID 5000k low beam LED bulb on top of the headlights to match color
    3. BRZ wheels plastidipped
    4. sway nars front and rear
    5. nexus 7 on the dash using belkin bluetooth for music and nav.
    6. teins springs
    7. 5 Axis body kits (I love the look but my front lip was scratched on the first day.... car is not too low but lip sticking out forward makes it inevitable for me not to scratch them. you get used to them after while. you have to go super slow and side ways when getting out of the drive ways.)

    8. window visor

    I appreciate your enthusiasm for mileage, however a line must be drawn at some point. MPG and FTW cannot be used in the same phrase..... Boost FTW!!! NOS FTW!!! Built Motor FTW!!! Displacement FTW!!! Slammed FTW!!! Chassis Bracing FTW!! ECU Tuning FTW!!! Rims FTW!!! these are all acceptable uses.....

    My favorite mod is the non existent turbo kit and Hybrid Synergy Drive Solution that would make all my dreams come true.....

    My favorite mod is by far the TRD sticker I put on the rear windshield.

    Why? because the sticker itself gives at least 5hp to the car :)

    You have to change your standards when you get a Prius. ;)

    Mine isn't a Gen3, but my favorite mod so far is replacing the stock headunit and adding a small subwoofer. The difference is night and day.

    My favorite wants in order is the push button shifter, clazzio covers, piano black steering wheel. Probably will never do any of those, the most practical would be the Clazzios.

    Only problem is your secret is out! Every fast car out there now is going to avoid the Prius with the TRD sticker, no telling whats hiding under the hood....

    I'm admittedly sometimes unclear as to the distinction between a "mod" or modification of the vehicle and the simple upgrade or addition of an accessory.

    I have added some accessories.

    The one I feel simply the most necessary? Was the Wheelskin Steering Wheel Cover. Toyota's Prius II, base model steering wheel felt like cheap plastic and for someone reason not only did Toyota make it plastic, but textured like rough sandpaper.

    The Wheelskin cover gives me a real nice high end leather cover.

    I think mine would have to be....

    1. Illuminated Door Sills.... Really cool at night and got rid of that grey plastic
    2. Tint.... Makes the Prius look cool.. Finishes the lines and completes the look of the car
    3. Splash guards.... I have pkg 5 so with the wheels makes it look a little sportier and closes that awkward back end. Also keeps car a little cleaner from road grime
    4. My smart key cover... A little bit of joy every time


    I would like to get the JDM side mirrors... Annoyed that our C has them from the factory but the Prius doesn't.... :/ were they hard to install?

    The JDM LED side mirrors are my favorite. Especially when I walk up to the car at night and the puddle lights come on. Always make me smile.
