Bzyrice's Prius Progress Thread!

Ok I will make a thread on my previous cars.. where should I post it? In the general forum?

lets just say they were not my first choice for wheels.. If I see the wheels I really want for sale (which I really doubt), then I will sell the Blitz wheels in a heart beat!

Thanks!

 

Here are the detailed pics of the Carmate cupholders:

As you can see I was Honda boy for awhile.. until my civic got stolen.. I went back to honda after going VW/Audi for awhile.. because reliability SUCKED!! So I purchased the TL.. which I LOVED! But then the dash cracked and Acura Corporate would not take care of it.. This is why I left the Honda/Acura family and came to Toyota.. Let's see how this goes! So far I am loving it!!

 

Yah thanks man.. These wheels are awesome! I need to get a 5mm spacer for the front because the center cap wont fit since the axle sticks out so much..

Yah.. I love rims .. Ive had alot .. I used to be a wheel whore.. so I may go back to my old habits.. dogh I hope not..

 

I got the cupholder on ebay.. Just search for it.. prius carmate..
I hear you on things I hate about the prius.. the cup holder thing was defintieyl top on my list.. That is why i got the carmate thing for 37.00.. I didnt care.. just wanted more cup holders!! lol
I got navi with back up cam.. cant live without backup cam.. I can install one, but factory is almost always better.. I installed one on my old TL..
The door lock thing will be fixed one day.. because this annoys me too..

The one thing I really hate about my prius is my taillights.. worked on that today!! woot!

 

Here are some pics my wife took yesterday while in the back seat of her cousins car:

 

Ok, So the thing I hate the most about the Prius is the taillights! So, I got a hold of a guy that I purchased some vinyl from before online and asked him to make a kit for the Prius(His e-mail is: [email protected] .. tell him RJ with the Blue Prius sent you!). I wanted red taillights with smoked turn signals and smoked reverse lights.. ~50.00 later I received a set of High Quality Taillight film (He gives a 7 year warranty on the quality of the film).. although I think I am pretty skilled at doing mods, Putting film on taillights was always difficult for me.. Took it to a local tint shop and paid them 40.00.(for a total of ~100.00 I had a reversible taillight mod!). and this was the result!!

Comparison of Stock Taillights vs taillight film (Saw this in a parking lot on the way home and had to take a pic lol)



Pic my wife took following me home from tint shop.. shows the brake lights on.. I will take better pics of turn signal lights and reverse lights later..


I think it looks 100x better!!

I love the wheels, but like I said money talks!

I wish I had some left over, but I purchased the pre made ones that were made for the taillights.. Might just go to tint shop today and get it done! I doubt it will cost more then 30.00.. I'll post up if I do it!

 

Dangit Just came back from tint shop.. They are too busy today. So maybe Monday. Only 10.00 though!!

 

I will get some shots for you hopefully by tomorrow!! It is raining, so can't get the best pics right now.. Can I be sponsored if you use the pics?

Also, had the dealership remove the annoying reverse beep and seat belt warnings today for free!!
