Hi All. First of all thanks for all the amazing help I've gotten here. I'm having an absolute blast looking into all of this in expectation of getting my '06 prius at the end of May. I wanted to put a list of proposed mods in a thread as a place to talk about it and perhaps to help others looking for lists. External Mods Shark-Fin Antenna Window Visors/Deflectors Remove Wheel Skirts Internal Mods Disable Backup beep Find an always-on Backup camera option. Nav speed hack (already done) Find an update for nav maps on the cheap Replace Cabin lights with LEDs Add LED footwell Lighting Possible Mods for after I spend some time with the Car Wood Dash accents MFD Hood At some point I'd like to add Audi-like LED DRL strips to the headlights, but this seems to be very involved and I haven't found a discussion that talks about this without also installing projectors or something - I need to look into this more. Questions: Is there a way to get the blue-ish Toyota emblems for the Gen2? Is there a cargo-compartment organizer for the under-carpet area in the trunk? For replacing cabin LEDs - is there a whole kit I can buy that will give me everything I need to replace all internal cabin lights with white LEDs, or do I need to research and buy each bulb seperately? Thanks all!
Available but expensive. ~$100 per. Toyota Prius 2004 ~ 2009 NHW20 Exterior Accessories :: Sigma Automotive Dont know, dont care. I'd avoid buying a kit. You should buy them individually. Costs less too. Research is not hard. Use this guide; OSRAM SYLVANIA - Replacement Guide - Start I noticed many of your mods are little trinkets, which is cool. Mine are too. But if you want to go big playa, here be my dream list: - Full body kit - 18" JDM rims - Coilovers (dumped at least 3") - Window tints - JDM window visors - HID fogs/HID headlights - LED retrofits - Aftermarket exhaust - Carbon fiber interior - Leather sports seats Now, playa play would be doin this too, but I gots no mo' muney. Know what ah mean?
Here is the list of original equipment bulbs. EV page Match with LEDs. Note that front dome and map lights work best with LEDs pointing out (along axis of bulb), doors and license plates work best with side facing LEDs. Festoon bulbs (with metal on both ends) also work in one direction.

I'm not into doing super expensive body upgrades because i plan to sell this car within 3 years. So ya, I'm more on the trinket edge of things. But yes - I'll also Tint, forgot that.
Most of the things you mention I'm not familiar with - can you elaborate on what they do / what they cost? thanks.
Personally, I'd stay away from the fake wood dash covers. In my honest opinion I think they look terrible because you can tell it's covering the original plastic.. and in some cases you can still see the original plastic. Now if they made actual dash pieces that were to replace the existing dash, that might be nice. But, I just don't want to see you glue something on and regret it later
