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

Easy 1 minute install on this little wire cover piece today. Thanks again @MPGRaja

 

Where did y’all get this?

 

You probably want to get the set which is a better price

GENUINE TOYOTA PRIUS ENGINE ROOM COVER JDM PRIUS V WAGON PLUG IN 2009-2016 OEM | eBay

 

Got it from @MPGRaja PM him, he might have more

Already have the late model 2014-2015 inverter trim which I got for a couple bucks. Lol didn’t mind paying $15 for just the wire cap. Had the JDM covers before but ended up selling them to @sd1810

 

That is a very good price for single item

 

just changed a few badges in the rear, F-sport is changed out by a black-striped "Hybrid synergy drive" emblem and where the huge "hybrid" badge was is changed to "limited edition" (only reason i put a badge there is because toyota abselutely had to drill two more holes in the hatch on the EU version... Wth was going thru their mind...)



Now im gonna start working on getting my front camera either on my rear view mirror (there is mirrors now that got tv screens built into them, so it looks like a normal mirror until u click the front camera button and a small portion of it turns into a screen with the front camera view on it)

I am just really considering to remove my parking assist and replace it with a 360 view camera... its kinda of easy to do, buy a image split screen box and two cameras on the outside mirrors, one in the front and one in the back and yea... just make that appear on the screen. i just wish it was a way to keep the parking assist. Maybe i could make a button that dissables it if i wanna use the 360 camera. My navigation only allows the parking assist video source to be displayed now, but if i could disable the parking assist i guess the naviagation would allow an other video source?. i tried to make my navigation display my front camera with the extension cable thingy u can buy, but yea.. that didnt work. Cause the activation cable activated the rear camera and not the front camera lol. But if i disable the video source from the parking assist i guess i could display another image? what do people here think about that?




Im also working on another mod, rear view camera washer, the existing camera washers u can buy r just to expensive... plus u will need to add another reservoir and shit... What i was thinking about was just tapping into the rear window washer with Y splitter thing, so whenever i use the rear washer it washes the camera aswell. I think os using such a small tube it doesn really affect the water pressure on the rear window.

 

I`ll juts wait for him to answer here lol, since u tagged him i guess he gets a notification, i see no reason to bug him in private chat. Pretty sure its alot of people already doing that.

 

Finally done with my project. Painted black headlights housing with yellow high beams. I know yellow looks tacky but I hate chrome. Took about 6 hours to diy but well worth it.

 

Completed the installation of BDS (blind spot detector) and thermal camera (for night drive).

 

Thermal camera? damn, could u post pics or a video of it? wouldve loved to see it.

 

Hi MagnusAG99, below was from my original post:

I finally got two of my projects finished! Last weekend I finished the installation of my BDS (blind spot detector) and yesterday I got the thermal camera installed. I have an Android head unit which works with the camera; however, the camera isn't really designed for vehicle so I had to jury rig it and made it as safe as possible from the outdoor elements. Driving a Prius (hybrid) helps in keeping the device from getting hot because the engine is not constantly running and since it's mounted at the front, the airflow keeps it cool. There's actually a thermal camera designed for cars like the FLIR PathfindIR II, but I wasn't willing to spend $2,500 for it. This ThermApp camera I found on Amazon for $800 and works just fine for me. I used the iOttie GoPro mount and it's holding up exceptionally well. I don't notice one bit of vibration on the screen. I made a lens cover using a PVC plastic I found at Lowe's and placed a Zip Lock plastic bag and taped it sealed using layers of electrical tape. It didn’t come with a remote switch so I decided to put one and I found a customizable one online. I ran a USB cable through the firewall grommet, connected the device and VOILA! IT'S ALIVE!!!

 

Removing all my tint in front....



And in the process of going to 3m 5 percent

 

Well shit it seems the rest of the tint isn't as dark as this 3m so im forced to do the rest now lol

 

That’s because 3M is legit with true color shade. Everything else is garbage lol

 

Oh ya 3m has a way deeper black to it. I don't know what kind of bull shit was put on by the first owner. Almost any mod he did i removed and replaced it. Shit plug and play hids to retro, replica kit to real, springs to air etc

 

Follow you bro! Keep it up and don’t sell it at the end cause all the hard work put in won’t be worth it.

 

Ya my way of thinking is do it right or don't do it at all even if "its just a prius"

 

Payed a visit to Hybridpit today for my 5,000 mile oil change. This is my 3rd oil change using 0W-40 oil, Prius seems to be liking it!

 

I'm using Motul 0w-40 myself, zero oil consumption at 102k and oil analysis wear numbers are very good. 0w-20 is so thin it had might as well be water. I worry about how thin it is when it's at operating temperature.
