Is there a good way to combine "Prius" and "Pride?"

Here are a few shots of my car; many are old but two are relatively recent.

Nope, can't see any here either. FWIW, the browser behaved like it was still loading something -- like high-res pics -- for an extended period, but the pics never appeared.

White car on a white background?

Maybe it snowed before the camera could be set up properly.

LOL sorry guys; I'm on a dynamic IP that occasionally changes on me, so I have to change the DNS settings frequently. Since the pics are large I don't want to waste space on the server. I'll wait until the DNS info is fixed. If you are really really eager to see them, the link is http://www.fruzzetti.org/06prius, but you'll have to click the images independently.

Stupid Earthlink...

Thanks, all, for being patient; I'm super proud of my car!

Nice pics dude~

are those stock speakers in your doors? The woofer cones look opaque.

You must be one of those true hippies, you've got a Westfalia or one of them there yuppie hippies as you also have a mitsubishi in the back ground...

(HyCam, I removed the quoted images. -Tony)

Nice looking interior. I'm stunned that you don't have mud-guards, rear bumper applique, and shark-fin antenna though!

I'm also pretty surprised that those goofy wheel trim-rings are still on your car

If you haven't tried taking them off, you should at least remove them to see if you like the look. I wasn't convinced at first, but as soon as they were off I knew they were never going back on.

p.s. you might want to post the pics here if your IP is dynamic, instead of linking to them. They loaded after a LONG wait.

Thanks all.

Ichabod - I can't stand the BMWish-ness of the shark fin, so I removed the stinger and put a small plug in instead. Surprisingly, FM reception is still quite good in my area.

I hate the look of the wheels, period; without the "beauty rims" (lol) it's just too obivous it's supposed to have beauty rims on it, so I'm on the market for nicer wheels. I saw a prius nearby that had a very nice set of wheels like high-quality polished, chromed, five-lug versions of the MkI wheels. I left a note on the car asking what the wheels were so I could look into the manufacturer, but received no e-mail. Consequently I'm still looking for a set I will like on the car. Ideas? I'm looking to avoid exceeding $1500 for the set, as with a baby on the way I don't know what my budget is set to be for long

I'm interested in tinting the front and back light covers, but am concerned about the loss of lighting efficiency. Percentage-wise, how much brighter are those $60 aftermarket HID xenon bulbs? If i use a 17% tinted cover, will their extra brightness make up the difference?

I don't know how I wasn't a member of this forum before! Everyone's nice, supportive, and full of great info and ideas!

Actually I tricked you guys; they're all a bunch of transparent GIFs :P

jk; hopefully they'll load soon.

What's the file size limit on an inline attachment to a post?

Nice pictures and a nice car.

It just dawned on me that the word Pride has been hijacked like the word Gay was by the same people. Sorry to have had this negative mental reaction when I saw your post's title.
