Default Where to install accessories / gadgets in Mass?

Folks, if you're not very handy (neither am I) and you need some gadgets/stuff being installed professionally and inexpensively onto your Prius, may I recommend Auto Security Connection in West Newton, MA? I have known them for more than 10 years and they specialize in non-mechanical stuff like grounding cables, HID, window deflectors, invisible bra, PIAA wipers, fogs, XM & Sirius satellite radio, etc.

Their location is:

Auto Security Connection
978 Watertown Street
West Newton, MA 02165
617-965-7311 - Attn: Eddie or Tommy

Please share with us your favorite local installers, too. The more the merrier.

Edward, Do they sell what they install ? How big is their selection ? Do they have a web site?

Hi DisneyDad, they sell certain items but they don't have a good selection of accessories on hands. They don't mind if you bring the accessories with you & just have them performed the installation. They are not online.

What accessories are you thinking of getting?

If you saw the Prius taxi thread, there was a shot in the video that shows a black full frontal bra on the prius, it looked really nice, some mud guards on the tires would also be nice.

At this point I'm getting my baby around Dec 5, I'm a little apprehensive to ask Santa for more. artytime:

Front leather bra worries me. If you do a search on this forum, you will hear people worry about 2-tone color over time (after removal of bra), debris being accumulated underneath the bra, removal of bra before each wash, etc. I personally prefer the invisible bra which I have installed today (see my other post). Although I have to admit that the black bra can make a car look nice & cool.

I am thinking about the mud guards too, I just wish that it wouldn't decrease the MPG too much...

my thoughts were to use it only for the winter, to protect against the salt and sand trucks. then off in the spring, winter sun should not create fading of the paint, the summer sun might.

as for the mud guards, i'll take the MPG loss vs. the paint damage.
