What cool stuff I need for my new Prius???

poochasgracias · 01-08-2005, 05:45 PM

My Prius is due in amount 6 weeks and I'm already shopping for a bunch of stuff for it. I would greatly appreciate any input as to what's hot and what's not.
So far, here's what I found out:
1) blue tooth phone ... Verizon (which I have) says they will have a number of new phones around $200 coming out in the next month....
2) floor mats ... My BC package gives me carpeted floor mats but I've read on Priuschat that the all weather ones cut down on road noise...
3) door edge guards (that match the vehicle, in my case silver) ... are these dorky or practical? Both maybe?
4) thick clear plastic that goes over head lights, hood, etc?
5) rear bumper guard that goes on the top of the rear bumper - is this better in clear or black? The black seems to appear thicker ...
6) mud flaps - had anybody found ones that natch the paint color?

Thanks again for your help!!!

Carpeted floor mats are not included in the BC package. You can get those by themselves or as part of the Preferred Accessories Package.

No way. Stick to the fluffy dice and a cross on rosary beads hanging from the rear view mirror.

I don't know about CA but it is illegal to hang stuff from your mirrors in VT.[list]

The display hood. Inexpensive, effective, good looking. What else could you want eggs in your beer. 8)

Oh, you'll need one of [url=http://shop.store.yahoo.com/jsbstash/budchrisdass1.html]these for your dashboard:

I apologize in advance for anyone I\'ve offended. Don\'t worry -- I\'m going to burn in Hell one way or another.
