Hello Prius Chat, new owner here of a 2010 IV w/ Solar Roof. First Prius for me.
So far loving the car, but I come from the Corvette world where I've been modding them for performance for years. My current 6-speed Convertible Vette goes 10.81@ 128 with heads/cam/headers and 4.10 gears.
My first tank in the Prius was 47.7 mpg..but that included 4 drag strip runs. My second tank, after I've watched the YouTube videos on the glide technique, is at 52.9 mpg after 280 miles.
While I love the mileage, I hated the plastic hubcaps, the shoddy looking filler caps where the driving lights go, and the wimpy stock horns.
So, first things first. ! plastic hubcaps, purchased factory center caps from Ebay...$64 later looking good. I am amazed Toyota covered up these beautiful rims.
Before:
After:
Bought an HID fog light kit from Ebay, $124 shipped. Factory bezels, switch and lights, 4300 HID bulbs & ballasts.
HUGE THANKS to Spiderman for this thread and his install documents w/ pics. Very helpful.
2010 Prius Fog Light Install [Retrofit] | PriusChat
Before:
After:
And most importantly, I purchased the four horn Cadillac system (notes A C D F) from Ebay for $65. This is my favorite mod...the horns fit in four existing tapped holes in the Prius header panel. Super easy install, used the two factory bolts and two spares I had in my garage. Great mod...nobody expects this car to sound like this.
Before:
After (the phone mic doesn't do these babies justice...they are LOUD.
Next mod....HID headlights. On order. I will say mods for the Prius are about 1/3 the price of Corvette mods!
