    No heat issues, esp. in the rain? The covers get pretty hot.

    Not that I've noticed yet. Those lenses do get way hot, but they haven't seemed to deform the overlay at all.

    Exactly, once mod fever hits, it's pretty much a never ending thing. :D

    I think I said I'm done every time I get a new car! The Prius was suppose to be mod resistant.. I guess I forgot to add that option.. :sneaky:

    I thought exactly the same way! I modified or planning to mod the Prius more than my 2008 honda civic that I just gave to my bro! And thats the car EVERYONE mods!

    I don't think you need vinyl, but the choice is yours.

    Here is a sample of mine with standard halogens from Amazon. The picture was taken during the daytime. They're super bright at night.

    Installed springs yesterday! Handles much better now! Contemplating a brace or bar or something to tighten it up more.

    Just drove 3 hours and spent half a day hanging out with Sean in Palmdale to put in my led mirrors and under car courtesy lights! Was lots of fun! Need to drive home later to rest and get some pictures up. Thanks Sean! Very clean and professional install! Love the lights and hospitality!

    This had me cracking up.

    There is never a finish line when it comes to modding.......as soon as u think ur done u see another mod that u JUST have to have or something new comes out that u can't resist.

    Just do what I do.......don't tell herself ur done cause as soon a u do ur spending more money.
