    If you did the rear wiper delete, why didn't you cover the now useless rear windshield washer nozzle when you wrapped the roof?

    Very nice bzy. Nice mods, I'm especially jealous of the steering wheel:D . I had my roof wrapped about a year ago in gloss black & still looks pretty good except for a few spots here & there. Did u wrap it yourself?

    Well I didn't wrap it myself.. I've tried before and couldn't get it right so I left it up to the professionals.. They tucked it under the weather stripping.. And cut it perfect everywhere else.. I forgot to tell them not to poke a hole for the windshield washer nozzle.. So had to put it back on.. It's ok.. I've ever turned it on.. It doesn't look to bad either with the nozzle on there.. If I ever get a chance to do it again ill have them not poke a hole!

    Your car is looking sweet Bzyrice, nice and low....
    Wondering, do you have your coilovers dropped as far as they go? I ask, only because I suffer from a bad case of Acrophobia. :D
    Thanks for the help.

    Yeah, that's the best & easiest place to tuck it. I did it myself but at a cost as I found out how thin the roof was & caused a couple of slight creased dent(not that noticeable but I know its there) plus it was APITA installing it on the roof w/ all the extra curves & such I would never do it again nor would I recommend it to anyone. In fact, I would gladly pay the professionals to do it the next time. Good going, your BP color prius is looking almost as good as mine;) .

    Old thread, but wondering where your Blitz Profile BRW rims came from? Great looking on both of your Prius and obviously the right offset. One of the best looking wheels I've seen on any Prius.

    Do you still have the Blizzard plug in?

    Thanks!! Appreciate that!

    I still have it.. We just had another kid in December so I've been super busy.. Also purchased another car so been busy with that one a lot! I really haven't done much to this car..

    Purchased the rims used from a guy who had a Subaru. Unfortunately I think these wheels have been discontinued by blitz.

    So let me update this thread a bit.. I do have one new mod.. It's kinda of a sad mod but had to do it.. My commute is about 74 miles each way everyday. So I see road hazards on a daily basis.. One day as I'm driving I hit a bump then a noise and then I knew that one of my coilover shocks blew!! :(

    So I called tanabe to see the wait time for a new one and they said about 4-6 weeks! I couldn't have my car sitting there that long! So I purchased a set of tein springs.. Had them deliver right away and then installed them.. I still haven't had a chance to order the one coilover..

    Here are a few pics of that install.. Car seems so high now lol this happened a little while ago, but I've been so busy because my wife and I had another baby! Lol

    Here is my wife's new car! Toyota sienna SE! It is like the mothership to my Prius haha

    I was also busy with another project car.. A 2000 Celica gt.. A friend had asked if he could leave the car in the garage .. I said yes and ended up buying it and hooking it up..
    Before:

    After:

    A friend called me telling me he was selling his car and wanted I know if I wanted it.. I said yes!!! So I ended up selling my Celica to my sister for dirt cheap and picked this up! Now I am busy working on this car instead of the Prius!!

    One of my dream cars!!
