Camry :: Blacking Out Chrome Strip / Toyota Emblem In Grille?
Notice the chrome bezel around the grille, and the chrome toyota emblem?
What is the best/easiest/most efficient way to black these out? Remove them and paint them? Mask it off and paint them? Plastidip?
I always want to black out the 'Camry', 'Toyota' and 'LE' emblems on the trunk as well.
Prius (2010-12) :: Gen III Versus 2007 Gen II?
My 2010 Prius just turned 11,000 miles. Recently with colder weather it has become a rattle machine. Last winter it did not rattle at all. I then rode in my friends 2007 with 115,000 miles on it and it was still solid and tight on the same cold weather day. Did the Gen II have better build quality with fewer rattles?

why sometimes when I start my car it defaults to recirculate and other times fresh air?
I almost always leave it on fresh air but when I start the car it's often on recirculate. AC is off when this happens.
Same thing happens on my wife's Highlander but in no other car have I had this problem.
Prius (2010-12) :: Model 5 Versus Lexus Cth
Im very happy with the Prius that I have a 2010 V, its loaded with all of the options that were available at the time and I get a true 43 -46 mpg with my driving style and daily commute. The Prius averages more than twice the mileage I was getting with my other cars.
But I stumbled on the Lexus Cth and it seems its a Prius with a Lexus styled body and interior. The Lexus is a more conventional body style and seems to be a little better fit and finish on the interior but at a little less MPG. I tested a 2012 Cth with the F sport package over the weekend nd really liked it.
Toyota - Camry :: 1996 Versus Chevrolet Classic 2005?
I have a 1996 Toyota camry and a 2005 chev classic. Both have 125,000 miles both need tires. The chef has had nothing serious done to it. I have replaced the master cylinder, radiator, timing belt, and water pump on the Toyota. I must sell one of them, but which one to sell?

We want to buy a Premium, but the interior color we want is only available on the Base. We want black on black available on the Base. The only black in the Premium includes the fake wood trimming. If we go with a Base we want to know what we are giving up.
I'm finding it quite difficult to finding a listing of the differences on a feature-by-feature basis between the Base and Premium models. There are general marketing terms but I'm not convinced it represents the complete delta.

Yesterday I was stuck in traffic and the battery eventually went down to 2 bars and the engine came on.
My question is: In stop and go traffic, if I stay in the first half (left part) of the HSI while the engine is on to recharge the battery, is the ICE turning the wheels or just charging the battery?
Honda - Pilot :: 2008 EX-L Versus 2009 Or 2010 Mazda CX-9?
I'm trying to decide which vehicle will be the better buy. I'm looking at a 2008 Honda Pilot EX-L and a 2009 or 2010 Mazda CX-9. I need lots of storage space for hockey bags and the occasional 3rd row. Drove both but can't decide which is the better buy.

I got the grille emblem off my CC in minutes. I'v've got the grille off and have spent literally hours trying to remove the badge with no results. The basketweave backer came off easily, but the badge won't budge!

How you would apply Plasti-Dip to your grille. I see it is a rubberized coating according to their website. I also see that some of you have used it and I have seen the recent pictures that display the before and after. My question to you is, are you actually dipping the grille in the Plasti-Dip or spraying it on?

Can't find out how to remove the driver side front bumper grille. I could not see any screws or tabs holding it in. I'm hoping it can be removed without taking off the entire front bumper.
View 5 RepliesFord 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Jingling Noise From Grille Area
After towing my jeep 4 hours round trip for an offroading day, I noticed a jingling/rattling noise from my grille area. It is less audible from above (hood open), to my surprise. Everything works fine still, including the fan kicking on while pulling a hill as expected.
The only related thing I can think of is that I changed my belt before this trip because the old one squealed when it accelerated the fan and when it held full speed (2000+rpm fan speed). The new gatorback belt did not squeal at all. Could I have hurt the tensioner by pulling the belt too hard to remove it? I used the method of pulling the belt up on the passenger side of the alternator to get it off, and to put the new one on.
I notice the belt tensioner moves a bit at probably 20-30 hz, kinda dancing around. I don't know if it did that before.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Bubble On Grille / Noise And Rear Defrost Down
My Platinum has 23000 miles now and is a little over a year old. Lots of small problems so far but Ford too care of everything on warranty.
Now I discovered 2 small bubbles on the grille and so not like that. Also the rear defrost does not turn on. Neither by pushing the button on the console or the touch screen one. It does not activate - no indicator turns on nor does it defrost.
For once a week at least I got a grinding noise/vibration from the front power train. Ford can't find any issues and it never does it when they test drive.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Grille Badge Size?

Prius (Gen 4) :: 2016 - Grille Shutter Inoperative Warning And Check Engine Light On
Relatively new 2016 Prius Four with all the boxes checked was working just fine this morning. At the end of the work day I got in the car to drive home and I got a warning - 'Grille Shutter Inoperative Visit Your Dealer' - accompanied by a check engine light.
Since I'm a little over 200 miles from a dealership I'm in a bit of a spot. They have a local shop that they contract with but they can't get me in until Thursday.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Wasted Space At Front End Between Bumper / Grille And Radiator
My rig is a 2013 5.0 extended cab. Seems to me that there is some "wasted space" at the front end between the bumper/grille and the radiator. I'm thinking that some sheet metal/expanded metal work or maybe some fiberglass formed to fit that the space could make a neat storage area for stuff like jumper cables, an emergency road side kit and other stuff.
