What mods have you done?

I'm just curious about what people have done to their rides.

So far all I have is tint all around. I'm considering a bugflector ( it was necessary on my Tacoma) ...bull bar...all led lights in the rear (if I can find them).

Re: What mods have you done?

For my '06 Ford Escape Hybrid, I'm kickin' it old school. Only add on besides Husky rubber floor liners all around, including cargo area, and iPod Nano integration, is a locking gas cap for peace of mind. Oh, and custom chromed license plate frames ("grok Hybrids? Live Long & Prosper" -- a nod to my geekiness and the Starfleet Academy insignia on my liftgate window.) I am a geek, after all!

I wanted to protect the paint but I didn't wan't to add weight. I had a "clear bra" put on as well as full coverage on the bumpers, mirrors and lights.

I dig the alpine with teh nano set up. What factory stereo do you have? I have the JBL and the sound (speakers) are pretty pitiful.]

Well,... I decided to go with SoundGate's VIDTOYO2A.
Alpine Equipment is too expensive...
And the VIDTOYO2A comes out in about 30 days.

Also, does anyone know where to get custom LED dash lights?
Its pretty ugly with the green lights around the NAV with white speedometer lights.

H1DC, let us know how your install goes when you get the SoundGate unit. There was a thread on priuschat.com which mentioned that vaistech also has an A/V unit for the toyotas with factory nav to be released later this summer.

Re: What mods have you done?

I will not be able to do so till the product comes out.
When I called this week, they said it will be about 30 days till its out for sale.

At this moment I was doing some research on HID conversion kits for my lights including the fog lights,.... and dash light replacement (it doesn't seem right when the speedometer etc is all in white LED lights and the buttons around the NAV is green).
