    20170823_145054_HDR-1.jpg Touched up messed up parts of my front bumper w/ this touch up paint I found from eBay. Works way better then the pen touch up paint I got from toyota being this uses a brush instead.

    Perfect color match

    No the backlight is from below the trim panel that surrounds the gear selector

    Thanks. Yes, it’s the back of the park switch.
    Black earth and either green or yellow was the light live, it was pretty easy.

    Bought some precut window tint a couple weeks ago and finally got it on. A heatgun and a cheap set of tinting tools made light work of it. I'm impressed with how professional the install looks. 30% tint.

    It's not. I live in Colorado and would like to avoid snowplowing.

    This was the exact buyer and set.
    PreCut Window Film for Toyota Prius 4DR Hatch 2010-2015 Any Tint Shade VLT
    The fit was absolutely flawless. He provides all the windows including both rear windows. The tint has no purple color to it, as far as I can tell it's a high quality film. If you're going to get some you gotta watch some youtube videos and learn how to mold the tint if you don't know already.

    I posted that up right above your reply. Film looks great so far. No purple colors and the heat gun formed it really well.
    Actually no, I used a water/Johnsons Baby Shampoo forumula and had both the tint and window pretty wet when I applied it. I watched plenty of youtube videos about tint install and in my opinion it came out excellent. I'm still waiting for the tint to dry but from what I can see there are very very few bubbles but they may just be water I didn't get out.

    Do you mind taking pics directly facing the side of the car. Just wanna see how much you can see at through the side during daylight.

    impressive! that's literally the ONLY mod I did not do myself. Friend owns a tint shop in Chicago, so I felt obligated to give business :D

    even thought about peeling mine and re-tinting so I can say I did every mod.

    Yeah when I get a chance and remember I will! Wish I would have saw this before I dipped out for lunch. I'll grab some inside out ones for your too. My 07 Prius had 50% and it was significantly lighter than 30%. Colorado legal is 27% and I wanted to stay within legal limits as to not give anyone a reason to pull me over.

    At first I was absolutely furious and was swearing up a storm that I should have let someone do it for me. After the first window each additional window took about 5 minutes and I got pretty quick at it. Definitely get a heat gun and a set of tinting tools. Gun was like 15 bucks and the tools were 12. Also a spray bottle and baby shampoo are a must.
