I can has tints.

 

It's "tint," you douche, not "tints"!!!

[Your favorite line...]

 

Justifiable when you say " I can haz" in front of it

 

Damn.
I might be losing some of my manhood saying this, but it actually doesn't look half bad in black after it's tinted.

 

Wait til I pull off the wheel covers, nice allots underneath. Just need to get center caps...and then thats it for "modding" my lease.

Not sure when I'll do the wheels, it will be awhile.

 

That works.

 

Prius' don't deseve more then one thread per page... so here is a thread jack.



Let's Hang Sarlacc

 

^ill take the orange car to the right lol


jk, id really consider one in a few years if i move to SF with the gf

 

Hahah, couldnt resist the lease deal could you!

 

the new prius actually looks decent. I dont think id mind getting caught in one, plus the gas mileage

 

We actually traded our other commuter ('09 Versa Hatch) for the Prius. By some weird luck a few months ago we had a Prius as a rental. Wife really liked it and hated the Versa. Good deals on '10's, plus the 1k rebate from Toyota was nice.

 

Hey now you don't have to be seen in it.

Jk. Looks good with the black paint.

 

Prius + tint =

On a side note, I know you said you won't be doing much as far as modding, but I think the Prius looks like a good candidate for some blacked out headlights. It'd look nice even just with some film

 

Not too shabby with the black and tint!

 

Nice! What package did you get? Looks like a II or a III.

 

I'd probably prefer the Prius too. I've driven those Versas as a rental car and they're just terrible. The six-speed is better, but not by much.

 

We got the II. There was a III in the same color we considered, but it had Navi along with the JBL system. A bit out of our price range.... Weird how the White has a $200 extra charge for that color.

 

Really??? I guess it must be a pearl color.

I only went with the III (non-navi) because the lease deal I got was cheaper than what most people were getting the II's for. Otherwise I was originally in for a II, but I wanted bluetooth for me and the wife. And thats really the only difference is BT and JBL...i know you can get BT on a II as an option.

 

As much as I would like to knock the Prius, I can't. This car drives circles around the wannabe hybrids.

Now, the 200% tint on the other hand... Do you not want to be seen in that thing? Oh, that's the swagger.

 

How freaking close are you parked to that garage door?

 

Pretty close, but not that close... enough room to open up the trunk and not hit the garage door.

 

If you had bothered to read the post you would know I carry gear in the car and don't want people looking in.

 

You should see how close I park to the side. Wife hates it when I drive her Pathfinder.

 

nice pick up, can't beat the lease deal

 

I think they need to have better lease plans for people that drive a lot of miles. Especially with hybrids. I would lease one as well if I didn't kill the mileage in one year.

 

Yeah but that kinda goes against the point of a lease...if youre going to rack up the mileage than why bother paying on the depriciation...because you are contributing to it by driving so many miles.

 

Now you need a nice set of 18s, black mesh with chrome lip for it

 

It's not that I disagree with that, I just meant it sucks for people that tend to drive a lot.

 

point taken

 

 

Go in the garage and pull off one of the wheel covers...you'll be surprised.

 

lol. I just saw your post on priuschat

We just turned 19,000 in ours



Darned thing refuses to get less than 50mpg.

 

:hi: Saki

I see you removed the wheel covers.

Still have the PT? I got a dodge now, too

 

The PT Loser is still my DD. The Prius is my husband's primary car and our weekend/getaway/leavethecarattheairport/omgihavetodriveouttothestickstoday car.

Hence the 19k in a year.

I personally dislike the alloy covers off, but we have celica GTS rims awaiting tires once the stockers are worn so it doesnt matter much anyway. This is going to be our 10 year beater so nothing crazy is planned. Paint the roof, taillights and maybe lower it jsut a little bit. Offroaded in NC and it was nice not to hit the frame on rocks.

 

Why are you going to paint the roof? To make it look like the solar roof?

I like the wheels with the covers off.

You guys could always put some lightweight volks and increase your mileage even more. Heck, if you wanna go cheaper get some Enkei RPF1's. 15" versions of that wheel only weigh 9.6 lbs/wheel, the 16" weighs 14.x lbs. And the wheels are cheap and good quality.

 

The new Pruis looks a lot better than any other hybrid out there right now imo. A couple of my family members have them and are really happy, one drive down to Florida and back several times a year and the other has around 150k on from driving for business.

 

Hola!

We like the looks of the blacked out roof. Kinda wish we had sprung for the solar roof, but $3000 for that plus a navi I dont like. Then again I do love the backup camera. Meh. Wish it was standard like my friend's 2nd gen.

The stock 15s are pretty crappy. Cant wait to put new 16s on and decide which tires to get. In my old age (ha) Im starting to lean towards quieter tires than handle better. My Coopers on my PT are LOUD!

 

Since this is a lease I dont want to sink money into it. Windows are tinted and I'll probably remove the wheel the covers and get center caps.

Other than that any modding will be saved and reserved for the Challenger.

 

I wouldnt either. Well also do Katzkin leather as well. Stock leather options were horrible.

But first, I want the thing paid off asap.
