    Its a slow pc night. And i've been oogling everyone else's prius. So I finally got around to taking some pictures. Unfortunately, the camera battery died after a few shots. I wanted to to get shot of the full roof but couldn't get high enough. Will update soon.

    work in progress:
    need to switch to plus rims
    ground effects
    body side molding

    Done - centercaps

    Thanks for the new pics. I was getting bored too. :)

    Maybe you should wait until you see the new Persona Edition wheels before you buy the Plus wheels?

    Is there a slight smoke on your tail-lights? I've been considering doing that as well but I wanted to do a tasteful amount (rather than straight blacking them out)

    super light tint.. if i remember correctly its about 8% tint

    Toyota Prius (2010, 2011, 2012) Tail Light Tint Smoked Film Covers

    if i had to do it again, i would not get it precut. theres no enough marginal of error to work with.

    I think wotcher meant 80%. The higher the number the lighter the tint. 5% is limo, 80% is nearly clear.

    Saw one in person and they're exactly the same as stock 17" except they're chrome. Not really dark-finished as the article says. Personally, I dislike chrome unless the car is super flashy like GoldPianoGarden's Prius. The Plus wheels would be better for the black and white theme.
