JustDidIt - Modding My 2007....The 2008 Touring died.

....oh I like how creative others have been with the nhw20...

Here is why I know the TSW will fit.

 

I wouldn't say that it'll ride like an old conestoga, but it def won't be a ricer with 'cut' springs bouncing all over the place. Not really looking for a smooth 'cooshie' ride, from my lowered Mini-me EF civic with 17's to my

Lowered on coilovers StreetKing 4Runner w/ 22's



My wheel and brake combo


I've always liked the look and feel of a tighter suspension and wheels that actually fit the wheel well without dumping it to the ground. With the bigger wheel I won't have to lower the car as much to get the look that i'm going for. My daily commute consists of I-5 for ~70-80 miles - not so many rough streets to deal with.

 

Playing around with Vinyl last night... took my bumper inside



Re-doing the Yellow Vinyl on the fogs...also replaced a faulty 9006 HID 3000k bulb as well and wired in my 'Always on FOG DRL'

 

Here some pix of the Cheap Fog-DRL Mod | PriusChat I completed after "Auricchio" helped clarify a few things.

The wires used ... I shrink wrapped the connectors hoping to eliminate any issues..

labeled for better clarification

Installed


Quick sketch of the wiring for easier viewing...

3000k DRL now in full effect. They really don't have THAT much glare...my Droid camera phone...just doesn't adjust well in oncoming light...

 

By the way...in case anyone is planning on swapping out the interior bulbs...

These are really bright and super cheap on eBay


and these suck horribly!


That is all...

 

Yup yup, that would be the lil heat gun laying on the ground and a little plastic putty tool. Super easy to do...

It went really quick. The emblems came off super easy ... i may have got them a lil extra hot... B careful u don't burn/ruin ur pain. U can pick up one of these from your local automotive shops for ~$30 - been pretty handy and I've only given my self 2 scars so far. HA! Burnt the cr@p out of my arm!

Don't know exactly...but if its the same one that comes up when you 'google' Luscious Garage...its probably

• Luscious Garage | Hybrid Specialists
• 475 9th Street
• San Francisco, CA 94103
• Get Directions
• 415.875.9030

The video has been floating around here on PC for a while...I came upon it actually by just searching YouTube for DIYs for the Prius.

 

Its an easy to use spray on.. Plasti Dip available at most hardware stores for ~$5



Can be sprayed on and the excess peeled off with out worrying about damaging the factory paint. I didn't take any pictures of the process, but to give you an idea..

I pretty much just taped off the area. Similar to the Lexus emblems below, spay lightly a few coats, let it dry then peel off the overs-pray.

Here is the link to where I borrowed the idea...

Good looking car..Wish the Eibach Pro-Kit was still available...or fit the Touring rear struts...

Although, I would say these G2's with 18" or larger look like too bad either















...but to each there own. I just really like the look of MOST +18" wheels on the G2.
