Hmm.. must've flew by me cause I did not see the interior shots the first time. Thanks!

P.S. would've been nice to give the page number but no biggie. Thanks again! Looks really cool with 3 rows of seats!

To avoid scratching the rear bumper when loading/onloadig cargo, I suggest attaching a rectangular piece of leather - sheep hide, perhaps - to the rear edge of the trunk buttom cover. Folding it in/out would take almost no time, which means that it would actually be in place when it should be. The zero load lip makes it an obvious thing to do, and it could even make a nice picnic bench, albeit on the tall side.

More than $100:

- TOM'S front strut tower brace (Sigma)
- TOM'S floor strengthening brace (Sigma)
- JDM Signal Mirrors (Sigma)
- VIP lights (Carson Toyota)
- Four (4) Prius aluminium scuff plates (Sigma)
- Leather interior with heated/ventilated seats (Katzkin authorised dealer)

These are all excellent ideas. The seat heater makes driving the leather a dream come true, especially in the mornings.

I think you'll have better luck with a spring+coilover setup; lowering 1.5-2cm streamlines the look quite nicely and you still rarely scrape (when you do scrape, it's still only the scrape guard).

The next mod I'm going to put in my 06 is remote start and, if possible, remote control (via bluetooth or VPN to carpc) of the climate controls.

Note: my philosophy has and always will be that "function" modifications are more important than "form" modifications and should generally be invisible.

Just stay away from light colors, they cause a really bad reflection in windshield. I bought a beige one and had to throw it away.

The sunroof is HOT! Do you like the all weather mats instead of the carpet ones?

I have done several mods to my Prius. The most important mod so far has been to replace the really weak stock horns. The Prius seems to be a target when it comes to unsafe drivers.

I mounted them behind the lower grill, centered between the foglamps. I used a stock hole on the radiator center support beam.
