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

needs at least min of 10 participants to have our own class......

go on and reg.... I joined just for fun and the camaraderie with other fellow toyota owners...

 

I bought my first prius two days ago. I work in the East Bay outside of San Fransico selling cheap electricity through solar panels. I flew to New Orleans where the car was at and I'm taking a road trip with the wife and driving it back. It's the Winter Gray 2010 model II. Well I had a billion Mods that I wanted to do to it, but pictures of the car didn't show all the tiny nasty scratches it had. So I think I may sale it in one or two years and get one in better condition. Number one mod I'd like to do though is CT200h Seats. car has 94,000 Miles was 12,600. Even though it has a lot of small scratches I think I got a solid deal. I also own a 66' toyota landcruiser. I'm super excited to have another toyota.

 

I installed 1.5" high density foam into the the front seat bottoms and backs. so much more comfortable now. I installed heated seats kits while I was in there. took 4 hours. Foam was 14"x11" x 4 pieces which cost $20 and the heated seat kits cost $40 from ebay.

 

Just installed the 5 Axis body kit sides and back, with the Prius Plus front. Rims are being built from Japan. I wish they were here now!

 

I'm here with the master at work (sfv41901). New mods on my Prius today. I will keep you guys posted!

 

Looks great. Does the kit come painted?

 

Are the seats too thick now? do you sit way higher? because I hate the seats hardness, but I also like to feel like I'm sitting on the ground because that's how my first two cars were. I hate the prius seat!

 

They're thicker. I'm 6'2 so the rear view mirror was always slightly in the way, and now it's slightly more in the way. I'm probably about 3/4 of an inch higher up. It's not a huge difference in height, but way way more comfortable. Especially my back is way better, the stock seats push my shoulders forward and cause really bad pain in my traps. My shoulders are free now. I'm heading on a 7000km trip in a week so I'll report back after that.

 

I rotated my mirror so it's upside down. It is now much less in the way. A tad odd going to the top of the mirror to switch for nighttime mode but u get used to it.

 

I'll try that. thanks for the tip!

 

picked up the Tanabe coilovers today, placed orders for Seibon carbon fiber hood + Cusco front strut tower bar ><

Busy day tomorrow. gonna re connect my hatch led's, re adjust the JDM steering wheel, finish installing clazzio leather seats, and apply some epoxy + hardener to my fuse box cover, to give it a wet carbon fiber look

 

that made a huge difference!! Thanks so much!

 

bumper arrived from Japan in excellent condition with no damage a few days ago. I was worried about the color difference but happy to say that the color is an exact match View attachment 48281 Will be doing the install as soon as I get the grill and Drl controller.

 

Nice

Nice to know, I might have to get them. Same height at 6' 2".. But man I would hate to be even higher!!

 

No i had to color match it. They did an awesome job!

 

Another successful 2012 Toyota Prius front bumper install! Much thanks to sfv41901 for the clean, meticulous, and working installation.

Here's a final shot of my 2010 front bumper

Installation of the Lexus CT200h horns. No more dinky beep-beepin'!
Final touches and connections before the bumper gets put on.
It's a success! What a difference! My car just got sexier!!

And finally side by side with sfv41901's bad nice person prius!
