    Hey guys, first time signing up as a member but have followed the threads for awhile. Here are a few pics of my prius C 3 2013. Tell me what you think.. Wheels are stock powder coated, the tail lights and head lights have vinyl wrap on them. Led lights throughout the car, roof rack for snowboards and Mt. bike as well. No clue why these photos are all sideways. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Thank you! And No I have a guy who specializes in wrapping cars so having him do the taillight and headlights was no problem. Vinyl is a great alternative to painting..

    He just made a slit underneath the fin and heated it up and it is sticking no problem. There's barely a mark where he cut it. (Had to cut it, the vinyl could only be stretched so much, the first time around I ended up with air bubbles due to the fins.)

    There's a problem with the way that Apple flags the orientation of photos, not compatible with how most others do it. Have to google for a possible fix.

    Led license plate light and break and tail lights, also blinkers are led.. And dome lights inside and in the trunk.. Super cheap upgrades.. To change your front headlights to led and hid you have to take off the front bumper.. hassle..

    If you want to change your front headlights to hid using an aftermarket kit, removal of the front bumper is not needed.

    Could you post a pic of the bulb you used for the rear signals? I purchased some LEDs that fit into the socket, but they're simply not lighting up at all.

    You're losing a few MPGs to the roof rack. If they're easy to remove/you don't use them much, I would suggest removing them when not in use. That's just me, though.

    Everything else looks pretty sweet, I especially like the wheels and tail lights. The silver/chrome on the side of the tail light just never seemed right to me.

    Yeah I use the racks every weekend whether it be going to the mountains for snowboarding or biking. When snow season is over the snow racks are coming off. And the chrome on the side, I couldn't stand em!

    Yup, I've tried switching polarity and ensuring they are in the socket completely. Neither build works on either side. I'm assuming yours were plug and play?

    Galaxy Nexus ?
