    Ok. I'm stealing this from the very popular What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today???? | PriusChat Thread.:LOL:

    Today I'm going to install my new cell phone mount with my existing iPhone 6+ holder I had in the Prius. It goes in the cup holder. I didn't like the dash mounts ProClipUSA had and I can't put a mount on the A-Pillar like I did in the Prius because it's limited room but also the airbag would embed it into my skull. I've already been told my significant other I sometimes act like I was born with a peanut in my head I don't need a cell phone holder also. :eek:

    I'll post a couple pics once I have it installed.

    Here it is installed in my TCH. It's actually quite perfectly placed for me. It's out of the standard view of the road and it's within reach.

    Tuesday I drop off the Celeste and she gets Tint and XM installed. Today I'm expecting my Heatshield Sun Shade. Loved the one for the Prius. Such top notch quality from Heatshield.

    It's needed almost year round here in Florida. Anything one can do to limit the heat build up in a car is necessary.

    Well the window tint and XM is installed. Not happy about the XM as it does not work as it was described to me. It's through my Bluetooth. I'm over it with this dealer.

    Anywho... Here are the pics of the new tint.

    Seems darker than 30%.

    Again, the new color on your Camry is really nice. Hope next Gen Prius adds this to the color Palette.

    Mine did not. Do you have an LE or XLE? I can't tell from the photo.

    Yes. I said darkest legal. CTX Llumar Ceramic. It better be legal or I'll have another thing to bitch at them about. I've already advised them of my displeasure with the XM going through BlueTooth and not as what was described to me when ordered.

    I loved the Blizzard Pearl I had on the Prius but it got dirty so quickly.

    You're allowed 15% on the back and 28% on the front. This appears to be legal. It's darker than my Prius. But my Prius CTX Llumar was a brownish color and not this grey smoke color. It also looks darker as it's overcast out.

    Next up are these guys. I have to figure out where to best put them on the mirror.

    My Weathertech Floor liners and my OEM Camry trunk tray should be in Thursday. I ordered the tray through a MA dealer which had the best price even with shipping added.

    I have an LE but I dug out my window sticker and apparently I paid $615 for entune audio plus. I'd much rather have the $615!
    Your pictures make me wish I would have waited for a silver car.
