    Order them from Rakuten Japan, which is a lot cheaper than eBay.

    When I took them out of the box, I thought they're the wrong sizes because they looked too l o n g. But of course, I was wrong!

    I believe it came with Japanese instruction, which I couldn't read.o_O
    Hope the pictures below help. Make sure you clean the door surface well and finish with alcohol or adhesive promoter.
    Only peel off the red waxy tape enough to be taped with masking tape. You may want to make the mark after try fitting too.
    At first only put just enough pressure for the piece to stick on, then and only then you're sure it lines up, pull the red tape s l o w l y and press home from middle section outward to prevent bowing. ;)

    @tanasit I just got my prius v 3 two days ago and have feverishly been trying to see the types of mods i can get... i am really liking the mods that you have done. really awesome...

    can you tell me where to get the chrome grills and the led lights between and outside those foglights? links would be nice. I really want those....depending on how difficult it is to put them on.

    thanks in advance!

    The chrome grill from Rakuten. I will look for the link and get back. For now try the one below:
    Rakuten Global Market: Prius Alpha - Car & Motorcycle Supplies - page1
    How about the chrome trim set: revier | Rakuten Global Market: Prius alpha (ZVW40W/41 W) mirror ウィンドウモールディング side door garnish garnish / side trim and サイドリム Alpha / PRIUS

    Update: found the full set here: 2009 2010 Toyota Prius Chrome Front Lower Grille Garnish JDM | eBay

    The halo light from Ebay. Make sure it is 80mm, 6000K (cool white) and the more led, the brighter:
    6000K Xenon White Universal Fit Halo Angel Eye LED Projector Ring Version 2 V2 | eBay

    Eagle eye or halo angel around the stock fog lights | PriusChat
    The halo ring led was designed to be installed "inside" the headlight, so they are not weather proof but mine last over a year through rain and snow. I made another ones with the protection cover ring on the outside but didn't get a chance to replace the current one yet.

    Cover: 2pcs Clear Plastic PC Projector Lens Cover for 80mm COB LED Angel Eye Halo Ring | eBay

    You will need to use silicone to water proof the set.



    The Philips DayLightGuide bought via Ebay shipped from Russia, not sure why hard to find in the US.

    thanks tanasit! man, those chrome bottom front grills are expensive...

    thanks so much for the links... i think i will add the mud guards first. I plan on having the dealer paint the mudguard Blizzard Pearl first. Wonder how much it costs? I tried looking for color-matching can paint but I don't think the market has one.

    Just so you know that to open the locked door by touching the "inside" of the handle will work fine with the chrome cover BUT to lock it by touching the 3 ribs may not work. You will have better chance by pressing your palm over the handle above the ribs. ;)
