08 Prius mods list

OrPrius08 · 11-19-2007, 02:16 AM

Hello all, I picked up my 08 Prius spectra blue mica w/ pkg. 2 on Thursday. I had been split between a Forester and a Prius and hands down I am glad I chose the Prius. I am planing on doing the following to the car and was checking to see if anyone had any input.

Exterior:
wheels - I put on studded tires and removed the plastic ring, literally looks 1000x better
shark fin antenna
OEM mudflaps

Interior:
floor mats - Floortech Floor Liner for front and back
seat covers - CoverKing Neoprene (black) for front and back seats.
DICE iPod controller

Questions:
-I liked the fog lights on the touring and would like to do something similar, anyone have any suggestions.
-Carpet/upholstery treatment anyone have any suggestions

Well thats all of now let me know if you have a better suggestion then what I chose. I am enjoying the MPG my old ride was a 00 Tacoma that got 18mpg if you where going downhill lol.

Congrats on the new Prius!!

I also have an 08, but not the touring edition. It is option package #6 (everything)

Are the fog lights on the touring different? Mine has fog lights, but are they not the same?

The fogs aren't any different on the Touring from the standard model.

Iwould suggest maybe aftermarket foglights. They're much brighter than the stock ones and might actually be useful. The stock ones are more like "hey look at me I'm here".

The fogs on our 07 are worse than useless! You can't even tell when they are on.

The only useful thing that I've found for them are, when you have to signal to someone to either go, or whatever. Insted of flashing my HID's on bright and blinding them, I just flash my floods and I'm sure they appreciate it more.

any pics of the seat covers? I got a pair for just the front and i'm trying to put them on but there doesn't seem to be a way to slide the ends through to the rear of the seat. the seats shouldn't be any different on the touring model yes?
