Hypermile: Day 2

If you know me, I can't keep my cars stock. Not for long anyway.

I joined the PriusChat forums as soon as the idea of getting a Gen III Prius entered my head.

The swirl 5-spoke wheel covers had to go, so I removed them and strangely underneath them was a better looking aluminum alloy wheel. I don't know why Toyota put plastic covers, but they had to go. I think the modification was worth the 2 minute effort.

I am looking to get 17" wheels and perhaps a spring and shock combo. I personally love the 17" wheels that come on the Prius V package, but I also like Volk's offerings in their ECO line. The Volks are a little expensive however.

I also removed the front plate, I just have to do this for any car that I get.

My next mod will be window tint, I think I will be pretty light with the choice as I dont want a headache (a ticket haha)
