    Hey there PriusChat Folks !!!

    My name is Rodney,

    Some of you may know me from my 2010 Prius Build here on PriusChat :
    Thread : JDM / Japanese VIP Styling: My Prius III Build | PriusChat

    Or maybe from my 2025 Sienna Build on SiennaChat :
    Thread : https://www.siennachat.com/threads/the-shinkansen-build-inspiration-progress.67463/#replies

    I have been involved with PriusChat since 2010 and have been helping out in our Social Media presence :
    PRIUSchat Facebook : PriusChat
    PRIUSchat Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/priuschat/

    This year, PriusChat is teaming up with Matt C. (@mkv.crum) and his recently purchased 2025 Prius XSE PHEV. We're just weeks away until the 2025 SEMA Show (November 4–7, Las Vegas Convention Center) it’s officially crunch time !!!

    The car will be on display at SEMA featuring products from many of our sponsors and supporters. For those unfamiliar, the SEMA Show is the premier automotive aftermarket event, bringing together companies, owners, and enthusiasts from around the world.

    For more information visit : www.semashow.com.

    Over the years, we’ve had several cars showcased at SEMA: my Prius and Sienna, and Matt’s GR Supra. This year, Matt’s Prius joins the lineup, making it another exciting milestone for PriusChat builds.

    We’ll be sharing updates here through two dedicated threads—one from my perspective and one from Matt’s—documenting the build journey, our passion for alt-fuel, and the aftermarket community. Some products may also appear in the PriusChat shop, and we’ll keep you updated !!!

    My Builds:
    2010 Toyota Prius III
    2021 Toyota Sienna Platinum
