A List of Prius Mods for the Website

My first mod was to remove all toyota emblems! Then went on E-bay and ordered new Lexus emblems! Followed by a Honey burlwood dash kit! I have pics of my mods on my profile!

@Dash z racing . com look up prius.. its my first post so i cant add urls...

i guess i haven't introduced my self either this is my first post. haha
i am a proud owner of a 2005 prius w/ nav package. and can't wait to mod my car!

Top on my to do list:
1. Clazzio leather covers in charcoal
2. New headlights
3. EV mod

Debating:
1. dynamat (coming from a mbz clk 350 this car is so loud!!! any other suggestions to mellow this excess noise?)
2. Wheels (and springs?) rims without a slight drop look weird to me.
3. front lip from sigma

1. The LPG system. My Prius was just converted into a LPG-hybrid, see details regarding fuel consumption on the dedicated topic
2. Rear view all time video camera, see the entry here
3. Vaistech MultimediaLinq with 160GB HDD
4. HomeLink mirror with autodimming (bought with 50USD from eBay US) - the one which comes on the American Prius

A quick, cheap and easy mod I made shortly after my recent purchase of a 2005 Prius was to buy this small aftermarket antenna. I wasn't a big fan of the stock 'horse whip' antenna and this was much cheaper than the $70+ shark fin antennas I could find. The thread needed for the Prius was included (albeit taped to the package) but for $10 plus S&H, I couldn't be happier. I haven't really tested reception as I have installed the GROM iPod adapter and don't use the radio, but as far as aesthetics go it's a perfect fit.

Has anyone tried installing a performance chip? Is it worth the cost?

Best $10 I spent last year - getting that short antenna was so worth it! (thanks to Luke H). Also got LED interior lights...that's all the mods for now.

my mods...

My favorite mod, The Daytime DRL's in the turn signal socket, that are both Amber and White in the same package. About $300, depending on how carried away you get replacing everything incandescent with LED's!

Hi Jerry -

I'm working on this very project right now. It turns out that I have a custom spring place just ten minutes from my house. They can make a set of progressive springs (same rate as stock) that are 1" higher. They claim 375# increase in carrying capacity with the same ride height as the factory springs. Is that worth $300 to you? I think it is to me.

Hey darelldd -
How did your lift project work out?
The Prius reminds me of a Honda CRX I once owned - threatening to bottom-out and more vulnerable to road debris.
This will alter aerodynamics - have you observed measurable impacts on handling and/or mileage?
Thanks! David
