My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 12 | I would be interested in Prius owners favorite aftermarket add-ons. I purchased some pads for the cup-holders and storage compartments and really like them except the double-sided adhesive materials sent with the pads. I suggest Valcro for a few pads and recommended the merchant use these for future customers. I have found the dealer options I didn't really want are very good, like the XM radio cargo net and bumper protection. I am interested in what products Prius owners really find valuable, and more importantly, what is not: I don't have any preferences. In fact, I find I like the dealer options I would have neve ordered. I am not interested in the merchants embellishing their products here only candid appraisals from Prius owners that have a real experience with an after market item. I have seen: the shark antennae, mud flaps rubber mats stabilizer bar making the steering more concise conversion to the Prius Touring disabling annoying safety feature for Navigation/phone system protective strips for the doors preventing chips and dents cargo storage containers. Am I missing any items? I was surprised by the exact fit of these inexpensive pads and the nice identifying labels for each piece. (too bad for the cheap adhesive) I appreciate your honest assessment

My Car: 2005 Prius Package: #4 Nominated 1 Time in 1 Post TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 15 | Right now All-Weather floormats are at the top of my list as I just had a huge can of Arizona Ice Tea break open after rolling onto the floor (rear) and emptying its contents all over the floor. The mats contained the entire can (23fl.oz.). For a new car my list topper would be a clear bra for the entire front end. It makes me sick, everytime I was the car, to see all the rock chips in the hood and bumper while the rest of the car is perfect. ![]() I enjoy all of my mods but the clear bra would have made me the happiest had I installe dit early on.

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #5 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 4 | Well,let's see. I dislike shark fin so I put chrome stubby on. Mirrored window tint. Mud flaps to catch stuff,car stays much cleaner. Fog lights from blinglights on eBay,much better than stock. Bra installed,prefer clear mask but I am all thumbs and there is no local dealer to install mask. Thinking about "wood grain" interior,think it will set off my tan leather seats. The best mod of all is me behind the wheel!! Luv this car.... Last edited by penbed; 07-23-2008 at 09:05 PM. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Easy One! 1) EV Mode switch as installed on all Prius cars all over the world except America. A fun toy to show off with. 2) Scanguage II to monitor everything. 3) Sirius or XM radio via the MFD with all hidden behind glove box. 4) Side Molding to match the car color. 5) Mud Flaps for a cleaner car. 6) Rear bumper guard. 7) Window vents for hot or rain days. All these are available here on prius Shop. |
