I updated my post, didn't want to scare anyone else with the "more than $1,000, less than $10,000" price. Installed for $1,100. Worth every penny to me.

I always swore my "next car" would have a sunroof... and that was 2 cars ago.
Where'd you have yours done? Any warranty violation concerns, changes in car insurance rates, etc? Any problems with weather sealing yet? (I remember my cousin's add-on sunroof, 10 years ago... leaked within 2 years.)

I just checked out the handle. Not a bad solution. However, it needs to be attached to the two bolts on the bottom of the license plate, which the Prius doesn't have. Do you have to drill new holes in your hatch door?

[Godiva]

Less than $100, the plastic bug guard. Available in Canada (like the mudguards) but can be had in the U.S. if you know where to shop.

More than $100. Did anyone mention those glue on faux wood paneling pieces you can put on the inside?

[Doc Willie]

Custom graphic decals.

$380

The ZhangHeng

Car color not boring anymore.

Tony, you can grab some mods off Darell's site since he has the price list too.[/b]

That's my vote too! Plus I started a thread a while back about cheap/easy mods. Not much came of it - but a few items of note.

[nerfer]

Free: Turn the rear-view mirror upside down, so it doesn't block so much of your forward-right view (for tallish drivers). But it means your night-dimmer thing isn't automatically aimed right, not that I use it, especially in summer.

All-weather cargo mats already mentioned. That's about it for me. I saw FireEngineer had a neat Prius-styled plastic shield on the back bumper.

I didn't know about the rear-wiper shaving, I'll need to check that out for sure.
Edit: Ah, it's near the bottom of Darell's list: http://www.evnut.com/prius_mods.htm, complete with pictures - thanks, I'll have to try that out!

I didn't hear anyone mention the SCAN GUAGE II and a Blend Mount or mount in a place other than above/below the rear view mirror. Scan gauge II in the Priuschat shop. Blend mount on Ebay.
SG II $149
Blend mount ~$30
