    TC rims
    (with baldass tires $320 off craigslist)

    2x 12" Rockford Fosgate subs
    Pioneer front door speakers (I like to share my music)



    Maybe tint and a snowboard rack in the future if I decide I don't want to get a Civic Si anymore.

    Lookin' good! Better start browsing around for tint and rack now. The Si is a downgrade from the Prius :)

    thanks!



    Well I had tint on it... Like double limo all around, but I couldn't see out my car at night so I had to take it off. Had it done for $200.



    I like the pri... it's a comfortable car, but the Si is much more "me". After all.. I'm a 19 year old frat boy.... Everyone who has a prius around here is like 50 years old.

    There are the trendsetters who see something unique and different and think, "I've got to be the first of my peers to have one of those", and then there are the trend followers who water down what is trendy by following the trendsetter's example and making common that which was unique.

    I'll still be the first one of my friends with an Si too hahaa.

    it's an even split right now. If i get the Si, I'll get nav, faster car, and less asses to drive (coupe)

    but I stay with my prius and I get to keep a perfectly fine car.





    maybe it's just the new car itch.

    Now, that I can relate to.

    Perhaps a new Prius with Nav? :eek:

    As for the faster car, do you intend to driver faster than 105MPH very often? <_<

    Keep in mind than a wise kid once had the following to say about the Prius:

    http://priuschat.com/index.php?s=&show...st&p=159482

    Prius Performance
    1. My 03 tacoma (4 cylinder) is comparable. I'd say it's pretty damn decent uphill.

    Age of Prius Drivers
    2. Like I said.... I'm 17.

    Prius Sound System
    3. I listen to mostly rock/punk and it's not bad. Better than my friend's full option 05 Corolla S.

    +... Chicks dig it.

    ;)

    hahahah. christ.... You just brought back a FLOOD of memories. (Corolla S girl, high school, listening to Taking Back Sunday ALL the time) Things have definitely changed.


    well I wouldn't want to buy a new car but the same one... defeats the purpose of new I think.

    I already spend time over 105 on my prius. It's more like the Si will get there in much, much less time.


    Prius has been riding really nice with these new wheels. With some tint and a snowboard rack it might be enough to keep me away from the Si.

    Do you know the biggest improvement you can make to a sound system is remove all stray unwanted noise?
    Think of the hybrid technology as the most amazing thing you can do to your audio!!!!

    niice... My Prius was my first car when I was 19. I still have it =). No performance mods though (unless the EV mod counts lol).


    Looking good! There's one around here that's also white and debadged (except for the HSD logo) with dark tint and it looks really nice. What else are you gonna add? TRD strut braces?

    hahhah yeah well after I got the subs you don't hear much of ANYthing besides the music




    thanks! no... no more mods. Tint and maybe the snowboard rack IF I decide I don't want the Si.

    but other than that, I can't think of anything I want on this car. Performance mods (like struts/braces) really don't interest me because this isn't meant to be a fast car anyway.







    I need new tires. Preferably cheap ones. Any suggestions?

    lol.. Goodyear Integrity.. just note, they're cheap as hell but fairly shitty too (they're stock tyres on the Prius.. as well as other cars like the Camry CE/LE and Chrysler 300... basically the base models of those cars).

    The only plus is pretty darn good mpg b/c they're LRR (even something like the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus can't match the Integrity but it does have better grip and rides waay better than the Integrity too).

    yeah. Well I should be rolling to Sams Club soon so I'll see how they do.

    I have some kind of falken racing tires on it right now.... damn things follow every bump in the road.
