    I did this emblem backing change out to white. It's a shade or two more white then my car so I'm not sure if I can dig it or not. What do you guys think? here's some before and after shots. image.jpg image.jpg

    Good to know, Can anyone answer this, does the JBL come with a lot of bass or did the person before me upgrade the speakers?

    I would try to find a shade closer to your paint. You could always paint like @Thanh Tran

    In my opinion the JBL system lacks good bass, if you turn it up loud enough you can get some bass, but a dedicated sub adds so much more too the music. I did upgrade the speakers in the 2015 prius, but only added a sub to my 2012 Prius v. I'm not sure if it was a difference in the head unit but my JBL speakers in the v sounded much better than the JBL speakers in the 2015, but after putting in the new speakers in the 2015 it now sounds much better than the v.

    Yeah I could I suppose, not sure if I even like it white though yet. The black goes well with the front bumper maybe just have the white on the back

    Black looks good, too. I agree, it does match bumper better.

    but this weekend, it got a lot warmer! so I took advantage of the nice 23 degree weather!

    Added the new Stage10 7 color electronic shifter switch. You have 7 color options as well as brightness and dimming capabilities. I chose silver as I think it goes with my particular interior best but it comes in black and carbon fiber also. Although I won't be lowering this car as I will be installing the curt hitch and thule apex bike rack, I will be adding the plus performance wheels with 205/50/17 tires.
    I'll post pics as soon as I'm done. I have owned a '06 , '09 both with package #6 now have '13 four with solar package. If I can be of any help let me know. Actually, it's not letting me add pics. If anyone knows what i'm doing wrong please let me know.

    Hi Sean, IMHO I think it's a bit off unless it's the actual shade...

    Did you use a gloss white vinyl?

    I've found the combination of the Plastidip white and the pearlizer are pretty close to the original BP paint. I would try making one, like Ramtart, out of some thin plastic and spraying it with Plasidip and see the difference. Or maybe, try using a little different vinyl.

    In the pic, it's a different hue than the rest of the car. A little too bright and it becomes the focal point. Does it have the same effect in the sun?





    Selfie? :censored:
