Pimp My Prius

[jcarter1105]

i recently bought a Prius (please don't judge me) and I am looking to upgrade some of the stuff inside. I have done some stuff already. I turned the compartment under the trunk into a lock box that is unnoticeable. It is airtight so that what ever I am transporting doesn't smell. And it requires a key to open. I used the extra port on the back of my radio to allow me to connect and play audio over bluetooth, but have officially run out of ideas. I would love a computer based new project that in some way involves the Prius. What do you guys think?

Beginning to think this is a bug, seeing it more and more and on day theme the text is black

You could be right.

People using the Night Theme can't read your post since the text color is very similar as the background color.

This is what your post looks like to night theme users like myself.

 

If you copied and pasted the text into the post you have to click the remove formatting pop up that looks like this:

RGB! All around the outside bottom edge of the car, and a loop around the inside of the roof, then wire it to the normal lights so it automatically turns off when you start driving, and on when you're in park.

That is the kind of stuff I am looking for! I will do that. I already have the RGB

I'm not sure what to think about the need to have this feature.

Dual brake calipers?

Better fuel delivery system?

Exhaust upgrade?

Cold air intake or better?

For a super "lit" (yes, that's a pun) setup, sync the RGBs to your sound system. :-)

OP buys a Prius and asks not to be judged. That is just asking to be judged...  but then again that applies to pretty much anything when you ask that.  

Oh and your text is terribly difficult to read as you can see in my quote ... please highlight the text and remove formatting so night themers can read the post.

Upgrade to one of these, that's what I did (AM General M923 A0)

 

But on a more serious note:

• EL Wire with LED underglow (here's where the computer can come in)
• Some simple audio upgrades including a small (or extremely large) subwoofer can make a huge difference.
• Rims
• Katzkin

That is the most badass way to travel to and from class.

Arduino and a buttload of RGB strips for the interior. Add a Bluetooth module to the Arduino and make it mobile-app friendly.

Put a diesel in it and roll coal when you pass another prius.

So I actually have a plan in place and am working on the details. But basically I would take one of the extra computer that I have and plug it into the diagnostic port on the car. And then mount the monitor in the console. that way I had a live view of the informtion of the car. If you have any ideas on how to make that work. I would love to hear it.

I actually have already put in a subwoofer. I consider myself an audiophile, and the speakers it came with were not adequate.

I was referring to the 5 ton truck, thus the quote from @straight_stewie

So I love the idea of using the RGB LEDs and syncing it with the audio. Could you be more specific in how i could do that, and or send me a link of a guide?
