    Just picked mine up (Priusv 5) from Wellesy Toyota. Silver/ Gray Leather Int. No plans for Mods yet. Just waiting for the Mats from Weathertech. Question for PriusChat. What Mud guard can I put on my wagon? Can I just order any Prius Mud guard or are there ones just for the V.

    There are specific ones for the V. They are readily available on Ebay, priuschat store, and others.

    You just HAVE! to swap out the horns. The OEM ones are so wimpy. I have just put on "Hella dual supertones" totally worth it. Took me about 30 minutes and just had to remove the one cover.

    We call it the Batrius. The badge is lit from behind with EL wire, the photo doesn't really do it justice.

    HID, white LED interior/exterior lighting, tint and suspension were done. Wheel Fitment is next. The HID bulbs were the wrong color. I wanted 5000k (closer to OEM HID color).

    What did you use for the suspension upgrade? I was not aware of a vendor that had anything for the v yet besides the Cusco coilovers which were way to expensive for me.

    Car looks great by the way.

    It's looking really good. I always thought the v sat way too high. Lowered looks better.

    I think the Prius V horn is downright dangerous no one can barely hear it! I like your idea of a semi-truck horn. Hubby use to be in the Air Force and I would fix everything on my car. Hoping I can figure out the horn it doesn't sound hard to install.

    First Post - My retired Marine brother thinks mini-gun will fit on my brand new V/3 - which I bought yesterday in trade for my 2012 RAV4 Limited V6 4wd leather nav sunroof tow+hitch weather techs which just did not have the legroom but had loads of power (269hp) and tracked like sports car. But I am just delighted with the V and the seating position and the mileage makes me deliriously happy. Now to accessorize and modify to make it mine. The My V/3 is black and I was looking for matching body side moldings which I previously bought for the RAV aftermarket from Spoiler and Wing King for $79 bucks vice 300 installed from the dealer. V moldings are $300 from local Toyota dealer. Moldings were easy to install. The V moldings are not on the website but Spoiler and Wing King told me via email today that you call them with your paint code to get a match. And no plans for a mini-gun!

    I got my windows tinted today from NovaTint in Manassas, VA. I did 20% front and driver/pax windows and 30% rear seats and hatch. Really did a great job with Carbon tint. 99% UV reduction. The mods begin!

    Not sure if this will help but if you didn't use a relay they usually don't get all the power they need and thus don't sound very good. The relay is real easy to install too. T
