    Not liking the STOCK look of the Prius (yawn)... boring.. I wrapped the rear trunk as well as the front spoiler. I already had 18" TRD wheels and tires as well as Brembo caliper covers....

    Don't need to take the wrap all the way up since it will be covered. The Heatgun is the trick to getting a good wrap.

    Both piece's back together,n Removed the inner Toyota PRIUS BLUE from the logo, so Carbon fiber shows through.

    Lid shut... Fiber is wrapped around the edges for a nice look

    A little different looking Prius. I'm going to smoke the taillights SLIGHTLY.. Not much.

    Wrapped the botton section of the air dam for a different look as well. Thinking about doing the mirrors as well.

    I run with no front plate... Yes illegal, but it looks so much better that way. TRD wheels and Brembo covers (Silver) on the stock brakes.

    Black out the rear toyota emblem with plasti-dip (easy, $8). I did a light tint on my taillights with lamin-x film (12x24" sheets). It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

    Looks amazing man!! I love the color combos!

    Just a little suggestion, I see you have the sunroof and tint (very nice btw) why don't you also wrap the two rectangle sections between the sunroof and the rear glass. It will blend in so much better and make a clean all black top.. I have no skills so had my tint shop wrap mine. Lol.

    I think that's a great suggestion. I also think wrapping the mirrors would be a good move. Heck, I might wrap my mirrors now that I'm thinking about it.
    (If I could go back in time, I would have got the sunroof.)

    Yeah that section of roof is next... Mine is a model IV with the driving lights added. So I think that's about all the options. I ALMOST sold it, until I was without for a couple of weeks and realized I couldn't live with my Audi TT 24/7
    The tail lights seem like a B^#&* to wrap... but I'll try it.

    nice @daczone ! I wish I did the full hatch, but was optimistic of my heatgun skills. Mine has survived these past 6-8 months and a few drive thru car washes. But there is ONE bubble that is bothering me, but waiting to hydodip next year to redo them all. There is CF wrap in other places such as the bumper and interior, but they're fine for now...
