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

I'll vote for that.

That reminds me @sfv41901, did you finally master the rear SKS job?
That's not a can of worms that I feel like taking on myself.

 

I'd love to add SKS to the trunk. I was regretting not going up to the Three trim the after the first grocery trip. How much are just the parts?

 

Looks great! What bulbs are those and where did you get them?

 

I got a ¥9,780 (~ $78) kit on buyee.jp. They're not too hard to find. Use this as your search term: バックドアスイッチ スマートキー化

 

oh yea yea not saying that at all. I guess I meant have you done it before.....if not was it more involved than you expected?

 

Do you have a build thread on this forum?? nice car

 

They are great! However I waited almost 3 months to get, and right now it's a 4 week waiting list...

 

No joke. lol. I mean damn I've done some basic stuff; changed the oil, transmission fluid, added some bling like a new gear shift knob, had a really good quality, dark tint done ( a must here in south TX), the weathertech window diffusers, even put in some custom made front and rear seat covers on from Coverking; an all day project in the TX heat w/o any garage or carport. Had to take LOTS of breaks to avoid heat stroke!! lol But this is scary. I know, basically just a bunch of plastic fasteners holding things in place but all exposed and taken apart, looks pretty daunting. Hat's off to you.

 

Finally got around to installing the H.Techs today. Found a local (and popular) shop that did the install plus alignment for $200, so I had to spring into action. Got a 1.5" drop all-around so far...curious if it'll settle at 2". Apologies for the bad pics with different scenery, lighting, angles, etc.

Currently have a set of Spec-D v2 red tails on backorder. I'll probably tackle a rear wiper delete when my hole plug comes in. I also just received a cheap roof spoiler from eBay today that I'll use to cover the rear sprayer... need to get it painted somewhere too.

 

What's up with that ???? Looks stock. ........................

Excellent job !!!

 

You should've taken the alignment as credit for future work. It's best to wait a bit for the springs to settle in before getting an alignment done.

Anxious to see who the new proud owner is!!!

 

You might have the prius prototype or you got the mind of Kiichiro Toyoda. Great job!

Where can I buy those shifter handle?

 

Managed to drain my 12V battery installing window tint on my Prius yesterday.
What weird thing begin to happen when the battery gets low.

 

Yup, I wasn't too clear about that. I only got the springs installed so far. I'm going back to the shop in 2 weeks for the alignment. I meant to say the shop is charging $200 total for both visits. The springs should have about 500 miles driven by then.

 

This past Saturday I detailed my wife's 2011 II; washed, waxed, vacuumed, windows; etc... lot's of work. Sunday I did the same to my 2013! Now both are shiny clean....
