Some of you might know, we traded her fusion in for a new Prius v. She loves it, esp for the mileage and for lugging the kids around town.

Anyways, you know I can't keep it stock

Aside from rear 3M 20% tint, and 3M Clearbra, I put all VLEDS LEDs in the interior and the parking lights. I also went ahead and installed the xenon supply hid kit. I went with oem 4300k... Truly a plug n play, and the wife loves driving it even more now.

Here's some pics of the lighting changes. Exterior pics and tint pics to follow (once car all detailed)

Again to reiterate... We love that hid kit. It looks oem.

Here's the exterior plate lights and HIDs

Here's a video of the HID's in action.

Paul, you forget... it's the WIFE's car So I tend not to care as much. LOL. Kidding. No, real reason is, it's been raining here, so no sense in washing her just yet. In addition, I am having that clearbra place address the few issues I have found. Until then, I'm not motivated to detail her yet. She still needs the FULL correction (buff and all)... she has swirls on her right now.

Haha.... for some reason, my wife loves them. She didn't "hate" the fusion, but I could sense she wasn't happy. Now she gets to lug the kids around and not feel guilty on gas.

Thanks sir.

I LOVE those HID's... if Marilyn had halogens, I would have gone with their kits. So easy to use.

I don't blame him for choosing the Prius V over C-Max. C-Max is better to drive, but Prius V is larger, gets better real-life fuel economy and has a much better resale value.

Its all depends what the buyer wants ... If he/she is looking for a fun to drive hybrid, then C-Max is a better choice. If he/she is looking for a better buy on which hey will cost them the least over X number of years, Prius V is a better choice.

LOL

For the record, remember it's my wife's (suuuuuuure it is...lol)

Yes, we looked at the c max as well, but it was much much smaller. And we were severely disappointed at the "acclaimed" 47/47 mpg, which most folks were really seeing 38 in the real world. On the Prius v, we are actually seeing 50 mpg in the city. Gotta love it when your expectations are exceeded. For my wife and the kids, the Prius meets the purpose. I have Marilyn and Tori to keep me warm at night.

But... its a prius...

Down here in texas thats just asking for a large diesel to **** black smoke all over you

FromZto5

Lol... I know. I was always anti prius in the past too. But then gas prices keep soaring, and my family keeps growing . And lastly, happy wife, happy life she just absolutely loves this thing. She keeps telling me it's her dream car.

With gas prices being $4.30 here in Wisconsin this morning, the Prius is looking more and more attractive ... although I would go for the Prius C.

FromZto5

Yes, Prius C for simple a to b car, not much passenger cargo.

I have a family of 4, so Prius v is perfect.

I guess man...I'd rather spend an extra $500-1000 a year in fuel to NOT ever ever ever ever drive a Prius. I had to drive one a couple weeks ago for work - it was one of our rentals - and it was the worst driving experiences I've ever had. It made me SO angry. I wanted to set the cruise control and drive off a cliff (jumping out before the edge of course) to rid the world, and CA, of at least one Prius. Maybe it's different in Iowa, but when I see one in CA (which is probably 1/4 cars on the road here) they are covered with liberal nut bumper stickers, going 10mph under the speed limit in the left lane (or 90mph, it's either one or the other) and their owners act like they are God'a gift to earth. I cannot stand them. And I will gladly pay more to use more fuel, to not be in one. I love revving in neutral at them too, to their disgust. They inspire rage in me, that I never knew I had.
