I put a pair of sheepskin faced seat covers on the front seats. Cost $239AU.
Improved comfort and protects the seats from wear and soiling.
A set of cheap floor mats while I consider genuine floor mats. Cost $14.49AU

I have shark fin, mud flaps & front windscreen sun shade/reflector from Prius Chat.

I want a mesh carrier for the luggage area to stop stuff rolling around.
Might do the racing hubcap conversion and scan gauge and/or dice.

My vote goes to lockpick as the all time doller to value winner.

Looks good, but I think I am seeing two sag like ridges a few inches in from the edges of the sunroof starting behind it and going for a foot or two? This is from looking at the picture you posted, blown up/

Install the katzkins yourself for around 600. I plan to get them in two tone.

Go look at your roof. They all have those lines.

<---- According to his ID information

He doesn't own a Prius, so looking at his roof won't help, but yes all Prii have those ridges.

Less than $50:

Not really a mod, but a piece of safety equipment.

< $35 at WalMart, may also find it even cheaper under the Vector brand sold at PepBoys.

A jump starter is useful in two ways:

1. You don't have to depend on anyone else if your 12V battery becomes discharged. You avoid having a well meaning samaritan hook up the jumper cables incorrectly and possibly destroying the electronics in your Prius.

2. You can help out other motorists without involving your Prius in a jump start situation.

Make sure not to get the type of jump starter that plugs into the aux power jack, because the jacks are ignition switched on the Prius (it won't work when ignition is off)..

Got one on order, was worried, but if that's normal then I am seriously considering adding it! I am a little concerned about the structure being cut to get the new roof in though.

Mods? Price? I found this while looking for a cheep engine air filter.
In order of HIGH price, here's WAY more than most would ever do. Not my cup of tea, but still a lot to look at.
