What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Met up with @nivlac915 to chop it up for a bit.

 

Hey @BPZVW30 those lights came out great! Making me want to do them now. I'm sure I can trade my usdm ones for some jdm ones from someone in Japan haha

 

I did this emblem backing change out to white. It's a shade or two more white then my car so I'm not sure if I can dig it or not. What do you guys think? here's some before and after shots.

 

Always wondered if we could do a bartering service with Japan for car stuff.

 

Good to know, Can anyone answer this, does the JBL come with a lot of bass or did the person before me upgrade the speakers?

 

I would try to find a shade closer to your paint. You could always paint like @Thanh Tran

 

In my opinion the JBL system lacks good bass, if you turn it up loud enough you can get some bass, but a dedicated sub adds so much more too the music. I did upgrade the speakers in the 2015 prius, but only added a sub to my 2012 Prius v. I'm not sure if it was a difference in the head unit but my JBL speakers in the v sounded much better than the JBL speakers in the 2015, but after putting in the new speakers in the 2015 it now sounds much better than the v.

 

Yeah I could I suppose, not sure if I even like it white though yet. The black goes well with the front bumper maybe just have the white on the back

 

Black looks good, too. I agree, it does match bumper better.

 

just a normal week in Illinois...


but this weekend, it got a lot warmer! so I took advantage of the nice 23 degree weather!
took off my grille blockers (should be the last week in the negatives), got a car wash, finally installed my Hella horns, and my hood struts


and another thing came in the mail. mesh center envelope. I plan for it to normally hold my dunkin donuts drive thru orders, but it can hold my cars lil' mascot for now

 

Haha! That's great. Is that to stop a real pup from coming into the front seats??

 

when browsing Amazon, it was on the bottom scrolling list of "things that may also interest you". and i figured, "eh... why not."

 

This looks fun in the prius!! lol skip to the 2:20 mark

New Funny and Horrible Pranks Compilation:

oops my bad.. didn't realize the video would have that still pic up there!

 

Roller shot weird to see your own car rolling down the road.

 

I know right.... did u ever catch up to it!?

 

Hahahahahaha that really made me laugh, thanks!

 

Added the new Stage10 7 color electronic shifter switch. You have 7 color options as well as brightness and dimming capabilities. I chose silver as I think it goes with my particular interior best but it comes in black and carbon fiber also. Although I won't be lowering this car as I will be installing the curt hitch and thule apex bike rack, I will be adding the plus performance wheels with 205/50/17 tires.
I'll post pics as soon as I'm done. I have owned a '06 , '09 both with package #6 now have '13 four with solar package. If I can be of any help let me know. Actually, it's not letting me add pics. If anyone knows what i'm doing wrong please let me know.

Hi Sean, IMHO I think it's a bit off unless it's the actual shade...

 

Did you use a gloss white vinyl?

I've found the combination of the Plastidip white and the pearlizer are pretty close to the original BP paint. I would try making one, like Ramtart, out of some thin plastic and spraying it with Plasidip and see the difference. Or maybe, try using a little different vinyl.

In the pic, it's a different hue than the rest of the car. A little too bright and it becomes the focal point. Does it have the same effect in the sun?

Selfie?
