    For Stainless steel pedal pads, 2012 & 2013 is the same, not sure about the other years. Per the ad, it stated 2010+

    For the license plates & Door lighting, I got some T10 SMD 5050 from ebay.

    For the Interior or wanted some super bright, go for T10 SMD 5630 from ebay or DX.

    Here is the comparison.....with camera flash ON

    I'm not trying be mean or anything, I've agree with "came_to_party". Having no knowledge of car audio world,
    You're putting your car at risk. And do you have the proper tools (ex: wire crimper, wire stripper, wire connectors, T-Taps, Butt connectors, 8/6/4 gauge ground & power wiring and ect...) Hope you know those, if NOT, seek a pro audio shop or Craigslist (some pro installers do side-jobs) to help you out, since you needed to be done less than 10 days.
    It just a better option for you.

    for the record, I wasn't trying to be mean either. I was on my phone and didn't want to type out a whole lot. I'm all for learning DIY stuff when there's time to learn it, you can practice, and you might even have access to someone that can train you. Trying to get a crash course in something is usually more expensive in the long run because you'll need to pay someone to correct it for you (and possibly replace parts).

    Hey my friend,

    You should add this "Amimoto Ultra Brace for Toyota Prius 3rd Gen"to your list (the underbrace you picked up from me tonight) :) (y) .

    I like your "pimped" out ride in person, you did a superior job modding the Prius. Nice to meeting you and your children too.

    Ordered a Full set Nano-Ceramic + Windshield Tint films online (11pcs), Was plan to do it myself (got the tools), Since time was not on my side, went thru Yelp.com for a good local Tint Service. Found BEST IMAGE in San Mateo, CA. Their Service was great & down to earth pricing. They even removed all side-windows, Apply the Tint, then Bake them, So you can use the windows right away. Other Shops told I can't roll-up or down for few days.
    Thumps up for Best Image~!

    My tint is 70% Windshield, 50% Front, and 35% Rear all the way. No more burning arms & hands from UV rays <--per wife.
    Yes, I read Calif. DMV tint laws already & I do work with two recently retired policemen at wor
    Tips from my co-workers is try not to be too noticeable, otherwise they have reasons to pull you over.

    Since Bay Area Freeways road conditions is pretty bad, pot holes, pebbles & ect (you know I mean) are everywhere.
    Got some 8mil Pre-Cut Clear Bra full set from ebay, and install it by Best Image (again time was not on my side).
    I only did the rear bumper.

    During 1st week of driving the Prius, I was getting cut left & right (not too much love out there). And the OEM horns not even noticeable on the freeway. So got some HELLA Trumpet horns Amazon. But still not loud enough after a week of use and barely noticeable on the freeway.
    So I upgrade it to Supertone horns. Man! this horn is Super LOUD, way worth it.

    btw: I'm only use factory wiring & relay, and added thicker Ground wires. Been over two months, works great!!

    Tip: Needs to grind/brush out the painting from the Brackets & Mounting area for a good Ground.

    Me & my wife split driving the Prius, And she wanted the some kind parking aid for City parkings.
    So I installed Front & Rear Parking Sensor, plus Back-up camera to help her with that.
    With a On/Off switch.....she can be in & out of the parking space in no time.

    I always drive home from work @ night, So got some DDM HID slims 6k color installed since May.
    I know DDM is not the best out there, but I sure do like their Customer Service & "Lifetime Warranty" on the kit.
    Also got DDM on my '12 Honda Odyssey, been 18 months & had no issues, knock on the wood.....

    As a ex-Night Club DJ back in the days ('96-'03). I still like little Bass in the Prius. No longer crazy about Car Audio. This Powered Sub will do for me.

    Got a great deal on my '13 Pr2, The fleet mgn. wanted $1,600 more for the next level up Pr3 (NAV, Back-up cam & extra door sensors).
    Can't justify for $1,600. Since already have Note II phone & will adding Viper alarm w/1-click unlock all doors.
    And I can add on my own Back-up cam for less than $100. So I did.....
    Thanks to this wonderful thread BACK UP CAMERA FOR 2012 PRIUS two TOUCH SCREEN- NON NAV | PriusChat and got the CCD camera & The T-Harness to get this project going.

    After installed, I was surprised how smooth the picture (motions) & the colors. Can't beat for less than $100 bucks!

    Since I have no NAV system, Got a CD-Slot mount (Amazon) for my phone. And added Screen Sunshade HU when not using GPS. For easy switching....
    Using my Samsung Note 2 as GPS, gotta love Waze app~!!!
