    I was going to suggest a gift card in the value of what they saved in gas over the past year. To keep it under $100, you will likely have to make it just the gas savings over a couple months.

    with a wet winter coming to my area, I can really use a good set of all weather floor mats....and in return, I will be "Making Whoopee in a Prius" with her for a whole year. (y)

    Speaking of gifts I have a set of mudflaps that I can't use (they won't fit because I have the ground effects / body kit on it.) Also I have an extra cargo / trunk shade from my 2012 Toyota Prius. And for some reason when I bought my Prius, which has 17" wheels, they left the 15" hubs in the back.

    I like this suggestion (zero of their dollars per mile).

    an 80w 12vdc power adapter(cigarette lighter) to 110vac adapter - cost $10-$30
    a 12vdc tire pump = $20-$40
    a good tire pressure gauge with carrying case = $6-$10
    a ice scraper = $5
    a portable 12vdc jump starter ( a Prius can't be use to jump start another car) = $50-$90
    Garmin Nuvi GPS = $80 <- if he/she has one already THEN
    get them a lifetime map update subscription if they don't have one
    a cabin trash can ( Prius' don't have a cabin trash receptacle)
    a GPS/iphone Universal mount (one that connects to air vent or cd opening/ suction cup mounts don't work on dash surface)?
    a sun shade from the priuschat store (a shameless plug for our forum) :D

    Well the hubs are brand new.

    The mud guards are these ones: Toyota of McDonough Parts &mdash; 00016-47225 Toyota Prius Mud Guards 2010 - 2012 Part # 00016-472225

    And the cargo trunk cover I believe is...well shoot I guess it's either grey or tan huh? I'll have to go check it out tomorrow. I know the underside has some type of...water outline? It's functional, but the body shop is the one that "damaged" it which is why I got a new one. I'll post a photo of it tomorrow.

    How much for the hubs, I'd like to buy at least one or two. My wife has a12 and would love OEM all weather floor mats, gray or black are best, the rear cargo mat OEM? May take that too

    I'd prefer to sell them as a set. I've got them up on CL for $125 for all 4. The trunk cover is NOT the mat. It is just the....let me find a photo.

    The trunk shade I suppose? I think it's included in all 2012 purchases. Not sure about previous years.

    Well shoot, we have the shade or blind or cover what ever they call it. My right front cover is a little scratched so I thought about buying a new one, then thought two would be even better, but 4 ? I have to give that some thought.
    Thank you for sending the pics, thank you for your offers.

    Sure thing. If they were used then it would be easier to sell 1 or 2 cause I'd just sell the best looking one. But since they are all brand new and all look the same I think it's best as a package. Where abouts do you live anyway?

    I live in Jacksonville, fl. I agree with your logic, but if you decide to break up the set I'm interested

    If I do it would have to be in groups of 2. Oh not too far then, I'm in Charleston, SC.

    I was thinking RF driver side front, LF passenger front. I'm assuming front and back are different, right?
