    First of all, glad to be part of this wonderful community..3 weeks ago I walked into toyota dealership and came out with 2011 Prius..I needed something more economical due to my 150 miles daily commute.. So far I'm loving the car and averaging about 53-54mpg. I promised myself I wouldn't mod this car, but then again the mod bug hit me..I don't plan on going all out with this car as this is my daily..
    current mods: led license plate and courtesy/step lights, center caps, 35% front 20% rear tints, oem like dvd/gps headunit by ottonavi, rear bumper applique, AVS rainguard,oem like foglights from pc (still waiting for shipment been 2 weeks I think)... more mods to come ;)

    Don't forget:

    HIDs (nothing over 5000k)
    Lowering springs
    18" wheels
    SunShield (Priuschat shop carries it)
    All Weather Floormats (Priuschat shop carries them)
    FactoryFoglights if you don't have them

    @spiderman yes the E90 is gone..but I'm having fun with the prii and my other project car so far..
    @F8L yes ill be definitely getting the sunshield, all weather mats, foglights ordered couple of weeks ago and should be here soon, maybe HIDs or different bulbs, as far as lowering and 18s is a no go due to the roads I take..maybe a different set of 15s lighter and lower offsets to widened out the stance..

    a couple suggestions: rear antisway bar and STB, this car needs them. It will handle alot better and you won't miss your bimmer as much.

    I can understand the bday road situation. In that case, cyclopathic's suggestion is a good one. :)
