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

Cool I live in west palm and commute to coral gables 1x or 2x a week for meetings.. Hope to see you in the express lane!! Honk if you see me!!

 

I was too busy driving around. It's like a go-kart now.

Here's the Valenti's, some in-progress pics and two darker pics from when I got home

 

Guys how easy is it to put a sway bar on a 2011 Prius without changing out the springs?

 

Put Carmate tray in.

 

No need to change out the springs to install the rear sway bar

apparently, it can be done without removing the lower shock bolt, but even so, it'll be hard to torque down the nuts properly with the limited tool space.

I recommend following the Toyota instructions and removing the lower shock bolt

 

still no new daylight pics of the drop.

I've been indoors working on my baking

I did my sidemarkers a bit different since I didn't want too much orange.

 

So they came off pretty easy? How long did you bake and what temp?

 

Yeah, I wasn't going to be happy with the vinyl/plasti-dip tint look. Plus I didn't want to reduce my light output.

And yes, those are 50 cal ammo cans.

I did it for around 9 min at 275 deg and used a heat gun for some stubborn areas. I've done this before to my Tacoma and IS300 headlights before so i've got a couple under my belt.

I used the link below as a reference and then picked Sfv41901's brain about all the nuances of the prius. Removing headlights or the bumper is no big deal anymore after today.

Cool...yea ive had those DYI instructions for a while just haven't took the leap yet...I wanna do my LED bezel flat black...both projector rings black as well

 

HOV sticker installed. It will probably never get used since the closest HOV lanes are 2 hours away in Nashville. I've got it because I can & it's rare to spot around here unless you are a tourist.

 

looks good!

 

Drove mine on my daily commute today for first time since filling up with No Ethanol gasoline. I usually average between 53 and 57 mpg each way. I got 62.3 mpg in the morning and in the afternoon on my way back i got 64.9 mpg! It angers me to know that there are only 2 gas stations within 50 miles of me that sell no ethanol gas (and both of them are 40 miles out of my way).

 

Well its in the works.... But painted my headlights this evening.




I'll put pics up when I'm done. Gonna bake what I painted and call it a night. Tomorrow I'll put the rest together.
