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

Sean, please order me one and add me to that list please. Thanks!

 

What is the price going to be on them?
Debating pulling the trigger.
If @Starbrand can survive the winter without a rear wiper I can too.

 

I dont miss the wiper at all. matter of fact, I think i got more visibility out the rear. just have to make sure when scraping ice off, you are gentle with that area. And when it snows, takes 2 seconds to dust it off and put rear heaters on. And most of all, dont forget about rear sprayer delete as well!

 

ne tips/hints?
I don't want a hole there & I don't want the line to be leaking somewhere on the way back....

 

Covered hole on both sides with extra vinyl that was laying around and plugged tube with a screw and zip tie. All credit of idea goes to @Accordlayingkit though! He was the first to do it.

Then I mounted my unpainted spoiler right on top of it and it covers completely. Have not had any issues so far. I know I said I was going to replace it with a better one, but honestly... this one is doing the job just fine. Here's the exact one I got (extremely cheap compared to the others I have seen):
For 2011 2015 Toyota Prius XW30 Rear Window Roof Spoiler Unpainted | eBay

 

I guess that's the way to go/
isn't the edge of the spoiler kinda steep?
(on your car it looks ok, on the ebay pictures it's really standing up)
(I was just thinking that it's probably pretty much destroying the airflow over the rear window)

 

Tonight I thought I'd pop in that Valenti 3rd brake light.



As you can see the connector for the Valenti is on the end of a few inches of loose wiring. I got fair warning from @trentofdestiny that the connector will rattle around inside the spoiler if it's not secured.


To avoid disassembling the whole works I chose to wrap the loose wire in some corrugated wire loom and a loose layer of electrical tape. Hopefully that will be sufficient to muffle vibrations & rattling.


And there it is.

 

More eye candy.

 

Give ya an idea of what I did below

I had a busy day.



Stripped down to the bones!



Adding a little FatMat ...



And then button it back up ...





That's about 5 hours of modding buzz.

 

went to the park to go biking!


then that moment where you realize you're gonna get muddy and no tarp or anything in the rear...


but glad I had some newspaper laying in the trunk from painting stuff... wrapped it a bit better than the pic.


still... dirty bike to mount on top, but I'm used to it from the jeep I used to have

colour matched antenna to the rims

 

Got the idea to paint my calipers yellow after looking at my license plate. Finally got around to doing it and I'm not sure I like it. Maybe it's cause my car is filthy and the caliper paint is so bright. I'll wait till I put my new wheels on and see how it looks.

 

I think that's a great idea.

 

I feel like I ran a marathon.

 

New license plate lights installed!

 

So...any reduction of sound in the interior?

 

My kind of style.... nice and simple
