    I have applied Opti-Coat 2.0 on 6 cars already, why not do it on the Prius.
    Now water beads off easily.......well worth it.

    Pretty cheap Shark Fin upgrade from Amazon. It's not quite didn't fit, so I removed the whole antenna and moved under the rear headliners. It fit the whole antenna there with no change with the FM/AM reception.

    The day I got the Prius, I was shopping left and right, day and night. Got everything ordered on the first week.
    So I spotted this Katzkins Prius seat covers (New), and didnt't know what is Katzkin is..... So I brought it for $51 +shipping. The seller end-up buying Katzkin Leather seat covers and sold his fabric Katzkin seat covers.
    When the big box arrived, I thought slip over car seat covers. Is not...more like a replacement seat covers.
    Now I won't be using, just a backup set for future use, I guess.......

    Got the AVS Window deflectors, I tried the WeatherTech (In-Channel) looks good but didn't like the rubbing noise with dirt over time.

    One minor critique: Body side molding should follow the angle of the body line, doesn't necessarily have to be perfectly horizontal.

    Yes, you see a million Prius's while driving in the bay.... My point was directed towards modding a Prius, you only see stock Prius's.

    very cool stuff! I just have a few questions.

    Which LEDs did you use for the license plate lights? Also, do you have some in the interior? I am looking for a place where I can just buy like a package deal for my 2013 prius two. Anyone have suggestions/reviews?

    Also, from what I see it is confirmed that the 2012 Stainless steel pedal pads work on the 2013? I would assume they do but the ones I see online always say 2010-2012 or something along those lines. Thanks!

    I have a 2013 and I ordered a set from MIT. Mine fit very nicely. Make sure you order the LHD set.

    I agree, they look a lot better when they follow the accent line on the side. The back of the molding needs to be higher up relative to the front end. You should be able to draw a line through the side molding through the line between the rear quarter panel and rear bumper cover.

    Welcome to PriusChat! I'm a pretty new member myself. I tip my hat to you for the mods, I'm a modder as well from way back. My favorite mod on my Prius is my Cadillac horns followed by the HID lights.

    I also have a 12 Odyssey Touring, it's the nicest vehicle I've ever owned from a creature comfort perspective...just sucks gas.

    Now that you have your mods down, do some searching on here and learn to hypermile....It's nice to get a 600 mile tank under your belt.;)

    This video is a great place to start:

    Hello, you seem like the guy to ask. I am trying to add a subwoofer and amplifier to a 2013 Prius 4. I have looked over priuschat and cannot seem to find any thread with specific directions (such as what connectors do I need? where do I plug into the JBL amplifier under the passenger seat?) I have been looking for almost a week. I need this finished within 10 days (yes...im stressed!) I just don't know where to turn. I have no idea where to start with purchasing the amp or the sub. All I know is that the ohms and RMS (constant) on the sub and amp need to be as close as possible (preferably equal). Please help! and Thank You ahead of time! (P.S. sorry if there is a thread elsewhere, I cannot seem to find one)
