    Well we decided to buy another Prius last Friday and I have been busy ever since. The last Prius we had was back in 2006, a few nice changes to the gen III.

    We ended up with a a Red Persona series special addition and so far it has been great. I had to make a few changes so here is what I have been doing this week.

    First stop was adding heated seats, had W.E.T.seat heaters installed by a local shop and they ROCK. Way better than any factory seat heater I have ever had and they have a high and low setting, not just an on setting.

    Second stop was adding factory mud flaps and rear black bumper protector (installed myself)

    Third stop was partial XPEL clear bra

    Forth Stop was tinting the windows

    Fifth stop was installing color coded body side molding (installed myself)

    Now it is time to enjoy it and have some fun. As you can see from the picture we like red cars :)

    Oh,the Stingray gets it share of drive time, that is my wife's car.

    The Prius is used when we need 4 seats and an easy car to park in tight spots where we do not want to take the Stingray.

    It is not what is in the toy hauler, it is what is in the basement garage :) This is what is down there:

    1956 Corvette Resto Mod (under construction)
    1960 Corvette
    1963 Corvette Split Window
    2007 Corvette Z06 (now moved to the basement to make room for the Prius)
    2015 GMC Diesel Denali 4 door pick up to pull the hauler

    Beautiful. The Red does 'pop' a bit better with the tint. I see those TN tags and need to schedule a visit.

    Nice rides! Regarding your side moldings, they'd look better mounted with a little rake, higher in the back. Better to follow the angle of the accent line on the upper door panels than the straight line of the rocker panels IMHO.

    Just extend an imaginary line from the seam between the rear bumper cover and the rear quarter panel forward, and you will see the ideal placement of the molding strips.
