car is/was way too busy.. others are right; red and black work well together. red tips were horrible, but unique, red wheels were too much (actually took away from the car). the one thing I kinda liked was the red stripe on the garnish of the front aspec lip (BUT only that one). the grill was decent, IF nothing else was red. (of course these red accents to represent a Type-S)
don't be offended by comments on here, which i'm sure you expected as per your opening post, lol.
Golden Rule #1: Sometimes LESS is MORE.
Golden Rule #2: Just because you CAN do something, doesn't always mean that you SHOULD do it.
It was fun doing random stuff to the car. In the end when this is what it looked like. Left the red grill trim mostly because I didn't want to take my grill out. The nose piece is white not silver.
Inherited a Prius, sold the Acura and have been saving so much money ever since. I've done a good amount of work to the Prius so far including ghost lights lights,battery mods, black roof, camera hacks,front strut bar,chassis brace,rear sway bar,and full coil overs. Wheels are off a WRX. This thing can take any corner faster than my Acura ever could. Need to get a bumper sticker that says "low and SLOW". I've drag raced it,dynoed, auto cross and car shows.
Say what you want, this is a unique car that is slow but gets very good MPG. Figure I'd rock this until I can save up for a new car one day.
I think this TL is a prime example of the process of modding. It was definitely an interesting journey from start to finish but the final product ended up looking nice and clean.
Congrats on the Prius. Not sure if it's what I'd have picked but hopefully it serves you well. I chuckled at "battery mods".
Yeah to be fair the TL wasn't lowered so that would have made a big difference too. Fastest I've gotten this Prius was 111 MPH.lol.
Keep in mind it's only a 1.5L engine in this so it's more for fun than anything else. I didn't chose the prius it chose me. Life events happened and now I drive it.

LOL no tips, it's a hidden tail pipe but have thought about upgrading because the car is so quiet.
