    Okay, Craig wins! I'm not jealous....I'm not jealous...I'm not jealous. Got to be someone on the East Coast who'll do this.

    Nice mod. Do the plug-in option for ALL-EV mode and I'm sooo jealous.

    I'm going to put in leather seats first...

    So it tucks in like it should instead of like most aftermarket models that go outside and are insanely noisy? I'm not going to BS, I am so excited I might pee my pants. I always thought it wouldn't work because of the roof lines. Are they still intact? (the two lines down the roof)

    Roof lines off back are completely intact. In front of the sunroof the lines have smoothed out. Factory installation couldn't be any better than this. See in/out pics at:

    I'm so happy with it that I drive with it open all the time, even when it was raining (lightly) the other night--and somehow no rain was coming in as long as I was moving! Maybe someone more familiar with the aerodynamics of the car can explain that? There isn't much wind noise, it's much much less than with window open.

    Fully electric, looks and works like any high-end factory installation.

    My top 5 mods are:

    1). Auto Fold Mirrors
    2). Passenger auto tilt in reverse feature
    3). Auto lock above 15mph feature
    4). Fog light as DRL mod
    5). EV mode, Sharkfin antenna, window tint, mudguards, door guards, weathertech window deflectors, Touring badge with "S", oh, 17inch performance wheels, oh and red brake calipers.

    Um, ok...it's MORE than 5. But, I LOVE them ALL! :D

    bluetooth kit (replaces glass holder above windshield)
    tinted windows
    leather seats
    Garmin NUVI GPS (OK, it's not really a mod, but it's terrific)
    auto-dim rear view mirror w/ garage door opener

    As for the leather cover for sterring wheels.....are those laced on by you or is there a wheel replacement? Most lace -on deals I've seen look very aftermarket-ish...are these nicer?

    The steering wheel covers are the real deal in my opinion. Seems like that is the popular opinion as well. Lacing was done by me....I think most are done this way although some may have them installed by a professional.

    My Prius with the mounted 15" LCD Monitor. The laptop sits under the Front Passenger seat, and all the wires are ran behind the dash. There's also a self powered USB Hub under the dash that connects the GPS, and wireless Keyboard/touchpad to the computer. Of course, Audio is via the Audio plug in the center console.

    Re: Your TOP 5 FAVORITE Mods!

    I'll agree on the plug in mod but that screen is HUGE! What happens when someone wants to sit in the passenger seat!?!

    For me the mods are:

    1) PHEV mod (Which I'm doing DIY and is about a half of the way there now)
    2) Can-view (Already in place and really helps improve MPG)
    3) iPod SLi2 interface. Forget the video... I don't want watch movies while I drive!
    4) MacPrius - Not for the entertainment but for the data logging and doing my milage returns on the move.
    5) Heated, tilt/Fold Mirrors. (Oh how I'd love to get them!)
