    I looked for about a week, and the closest I found was this: Body Side Moldings for 2010-2015 Toyota Prius - OEM - PriusChat Shop

    He said they're out of production so I may try to get the black ones and see how it goes on my green PiP. If it doesn't work well, I'll get it repainted to match the car.

    That is unless somebody has a better suggestion. I don't particularly like the styles of the aftermarket ones, and the Toyota dealer isn't helpful on this particular item.

    I found some, but they look like they're for Prius C. Any info?

    The OEM actually has a little bit of flare to make it look a bit more angular. The aftermarket one looks bland like the one on my Civic.

    Any flair (pun intended) added to the Prius is a good thing IMHO :)

    The RAV4 side moldings supposedly fit as well. But I'm not sure what model years to look for.

    I saw this thread: My new PiP with RAV4 side molding | PriusChat

    Honestly the front door doesn't look bad, but the rear door looks kinda weird with all that gap between the door edge and the molding. It's really meant to be mounted forward of the rear fender flare on the RAV4.

    I was actually looking at my neighbour's RX350 molding. It's about the same length as the RAV4, but it's a little thinner more like the OEM Prius molding.

    Anybody? PCShop has even fewer colours (1 colour actually) now than before.
