Carla - The Red Prius - aliusman420

[Nabeel_Ali]

still.............why get a used, sprayed car when you can get a new one
I have a new civic. Had a corolla before that. Maybe it's just me. I don't buy used car. Never bought one. Will never buy one. but then......that's just me

no matter how good this gets. Still cannot beat a total genuine brand new car off a showroom floor.

Bro, you haven't tried a clean JDM that's why you are saying it. I have a 9th gen civic and several JDMs with me. No doubt that civic is new and a great car to drive but still lacks the premium finish that we see in JDMs. A clean JDM looks and feels new and never dies ( they are my workhorse for upto 5 years now )
Rest it's your money and your choice. Lastly, 3rd gen Prius is a beauty, the premium cabin finish, comfort and safety features are still unbeatable by any local sedan. I will be getting one in this month InshAllah just still a little bit confused between Grande and this [emoji14]

Thank you bro!
Mileage with light foot and peaceful driving is from 18-20 km/l local while with very heavy foot does not go below 15 km/l.
On Motorway it went up to 24.5 km/l with Cruise Control activated at 110 km/h.

Guys need some more suggestions for cosmetic upgrades but keeping the car simple. As much as I want to I can't get a body kit primarily because my car goes several places with potential risk of a body kit being damaged plus I don't think anyone in Islamabad will be able to perfectly match the paint.
So I go for small shashkay
Tints are done. What should I do next for the exterior or the interior?

well just a suggestion, increase you car's height just a little bit and get the modelista body kit. Prius looks awesome with it
moreover, you can get the DRLs

bro I like that kit and a friend's friend was selling one as well but the car is sitting just right at this height, handling and stability are velvet Alhamdulillah
As for DRLs, the 2012 model onward facelift model has proper housing for them, whereas the one I have does not have any proper place to install them
What else can I do to it? Brembo brake caliper covers maybe
I'm thinking of getting HIDs only in the foglamps but need expert opinion that is it a bad idea or a good idea? The colors that I have in mind are 4300k or 3000k.

Found a pic from Google of a red Prius with DRLs, comments?

The stock LED projector headlamps already have Xenon, probably 4300k color, on dim beam
On high beam, parking light and foglamps it is the stock halogens.

Haha Paindo aadmi hoo [emoji14]
Okay bro then 4300k for the fog would be best.
And for drls, get those moved up a little to the top of the lower grill they will look great there.
And after thinking a little bit, why don't you replace your tail lights with the lights of Prius Gs one, they have an awesome black smoke affect in them.

Tail lights ka kharcha kafi ho jaye ga around 35k for good quality ones.
The only thing which bugs me is getting aftermarket stuff for Prius which involves wiring because a little spark can make any car a BBQ grill in no time.

I like the LED non-lava style half-red tail lamps more, but don't know whether they would suit the color of my car or not.

What was the car's auction grade?
And how do you maintain the car's exterior?

Would you believe this, the car is a 3.5 Grade vehicle just because of a replaced fender.
As for maintenance of exterior, a lot of purely branded Meguiar's stuff gets in contact with it after an interval of a few weeks, which is why the paint is in perfect health Masha Allah
The car is washed at home and only saw service station once, that too I took entire of my stuff along, had to take the car there because it had been to Shah Allah Ditta area and there was heavy mud stuck to the undercarriage.
