    These are the kind of products that will be the easiest to realize via your home 3D printer... All you need is someone to design it and upload the file to a torrent, then you download and click print on your printer that is loaded with plastic printing material that you made to match your interior. As for other car parts like ECU and tires and such, that's much harder to print, but someday!

    I like the JDM carmate cup holder. That's one of the best mods I have ever made for under 100 bucks.

    Horn upgrade, definitely worth it, saved our Prius from inattentive drivers several times already.

    Wheelskins steering wheel cover is also nice. Real leather under your fingers every time you drive.

    Disabled back up beeping to single beep.

    So are the emblems painted, or are they vinyl wrapped?

    Everything was done with plasti-dip. $5.99 a can and still have about half of it to finish the side Hybrid emblems and both Toyota emblems
