    Actually, i got quite a few mods installed (jdm led turn, mike's tricked out center brace, tanabe front brace, mud flaps, hid + led parking, ho windshield, laminx light smoked tails, trd springs, seibon cf hood, 3M vinyl wrapped between sr and hatch). too lazy to post. And I didnt want to display pictures of my prius on stock height.

    mounted my nook color for use as a 7" nav unit.

    the nook is running android ICS (android is where my geek-out time goes) and i tether the GPS and 4G from my phone via wifi to it for it to be fully functional... i will put a picture up tonight and i need to find a better way to mount it, but its good enough for now... and the DIY only cost me $1.05! almost everything i needed to make it work i already had sitting around my apartment.

    Hey man I know you know. You always do. You were right btw. Just needed to shift the contacts on the LED bulbs to fit. Working just fine for the signal lights. Now, I just came from being down on the floor with my head by the pedals shining a light up there trying to figure out where in the hell this little relay box goes that we are using. Any pics been posted anywhere of the place it fits? I'm struggling.:(

    Why did they have to remove everything from the engine compartment for this repair?

    Make sure they use Toyota super long life coolant for the inverter and engine coolant loops. Hope they have the proper scan tool to initiate the brake bleeding process.


    iPhone ?

    What did you do to ur Prius today???? | Page 14 | PriusChat post #267

    They neede to replace 1 of the inner aprons & it involved welding.

    This shop is "Beverly Hills Auto Body" & I've been using them for over 8 years now. Everything they replace is all OEM.

    ucsmfu is on trd.

    interestingly enough, my mechanic guy told me that the trd springs are rebagged eibachs. they roughly have the same drop.
