Steve-
Congrats on the purchase. This is my first post on the board and I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE my prius. My original goal was a silver with grey interior but last second a black came in its place so I snatched it.
You asked about upgrades. I have tinted (as dark as legally possible on every window...don't forget the little bitty ones. I had to go back because "we usually don't do those" lol) I have also added chrome 17" rims. They look SO good on the black prius its unbelievable. I work at a restaurant and was getting teased for ordering a hybrid (I waited a month from 11/03-12/03 for mine) when I could have gotten an Acura TSX, or anything else in my price limit of $30k. Once I got the tint and the chrome... well, let's just say I got a bit more popular at work :wink:
Attached is a link to a pic on my yahoo profile of my car so you can see the tint and rims. Only other addon to date is the chrome license plate frame from the dealership that says "Prius" in more of a script font.

I'm going to be moving back to western Washington (between Kirkland and Marysville somewhere) around September or October. Saw that you live in Woodinville. If interested, we could keep in touch and trade ideas on ways to "pimp our hybrids"
Offer also goes to anyone else. Any Q's about the Prius and upgrades, feel free to call me. I think I'm one of the few that has endeavored to make this a rall car like no other, WHILE maintaining every bit of mpg God gave it to begin with.
If you call, please just make it clear that you saw this posting on this site so I know who the heck you are. Otherwise I may be a little bit :?
