    Hi all, first post here..

    I recently got an ex-Toyota company car '08 Prius base model for my first car :) i love it to death, its so much fun gliding and coasting around, i love it :D

    im currently averaging 4.5l/100km / 52.2 mpg (US)

    i plan on doing a few very basic mods just to improve the cars over-all looks.
    - replace the giant stock aerial with a smaller bee-sting one
    - remove the written 'Toyota' badge and the 'Hybrid Synergy Drive' badges
    - Install Audi style LED DRLs underneath the stock foglights
    - Prius GenIII 17' wheels? (if the are gen II compatible)

    Gosh, your Prius' looks so much cooler that ours. We have the dumb orange reflectors in our headlights. What I noticed though is that you don't have the 16" touring rims.
