For example, they have the Toyota made cabin filter for the Prius at $13.85. Rubber floor mat set (also original Toyota) for $68.00 They are not real good at letting you know that they got your order or that they shipped it, but in my experience they shipped ASAP and all was as "advertised." They would NOT have things like WeatherTech, though, since that is not original Toyota |

My Car: 2007 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 11 | Re: Accesories and my new 08 For color "matched" (not color "keyed") front and rear bumper guard strips, go to BumperDefender.com. You'll need an 8' length for the rear, and two 3.5' lengths for the front (if your front has a license plate holder in the middle). Total cost is less than $80. You'll need an anvil type shear to trim them, which you may already have --- they're the typical anvil type garden pruning shears with a cutting edge on top that drops onto a flat "anvil" bottom. If you need to buy an anvil type shear, you can buy it for around $12 from BumperDefender.com or your local Home Depot or other garden supplies store. If you're interested, tell me what color Prius you have. I might be able to tell you which color from BumperDefender.com matches best. EDIT/Supplement: For other stuff, check the PriusChat Shop. Prices are good and your buying from it helps support this great forum.

If you're interested in getting the bumper guard strips or door edge guards from BumperDefender.com, I hear that "Inferno Red" is the company's best color match to your Barcelona Red Metallic. No I haven't tried the company's door edge guards. I'm not interested because I have the PriusChat color-keyed (exact same color as the car) body side moldings on my Prius, and didn't want to mix (i) trim colors on the doors, and (ii) horizontal moldings and vertical edge guards on the doors. BTW, I think the door edge guards may not be available anymore ... when you go to the web site and try clicking on the purchase button for the door edge guards, nothing happens. Good luck. Feel free to PM me if you think I might be of any help. | |

I heard that BumperDefender.com's "Super White" is not the best color match to your Toyota Super White. But if I were you, I would order samples of all three of BumperDefender.com's whites (Super White, Brite White and Creamy White) and see for yourself. OEM mud guards are available here at the PriusChat Shop at a good price, and again, buying from PriusChat helps to support this site. Oh, and another place to check for modifications and accessories (but not necessarily at the lowest prices), is SigmaAutomotive.com: Sigma Automotive – HID, PIAA, auto lighting, auto accessories, xenon, 350z, jdm, wrx, sti, 5zigen, hyper ground system Click on the Prius link in the right column to see all of their Prius stuff. Good luck. Feel free to PM if you think I can be of any help. | |
