    I am looking to replace the mats with the rubber mats.
    I don't like the rubber smell.
    Please suggest me a very good all weather floor mats including Cargo which should fit exactly into 2012 PIP.
    Please send me the link from where to buy.

    Sorry, but your post isn't clear to me. You want to put in rubber mats, but you don't like the smell of rubber?:confused: The smell should dissipate in a couple of weeks anyway, especially if you leave the windows open when garaged.
    I have used mats from WeatherTech.com and also the ones from Toyota. That is what I have now in my 2012 PiP. Check with the parts department at your dealer, but make sure they are the real thing, not some aftermarket mat. They are a good fit, and the driver's mat locks in place. The cargo mat has a lift up section over the EVSE storage area. Keep in mind I'm in sunny California, so I'm not dealing with mud, ice and snow. If you are, I would check out what WeatherTech has to offer. You can also search PriusChat for floormats and you'll find lots of discussions.

    Husky Liners for maximum water capacity and lower price.

    WeatherTech Liners for better fit, better looks/feel.

    I've owned both types. I prefer WeatherTech. If I lived in a very snowy region I would use Husky.

    I purchased the Toyota all-weather OEM mats on ebay brand new for significantly below dealer or online store prices. They seem well made.

    Weather-Tech are VERY expensive in comparison. (I got the floor mats plus the cargo mats for less than just the floor mats from Weather-Tech.) I've had them in previous vehicles and didn't love them. Their molded-to-fit ones fit great, but lack adequate channeling to keep winter snow-melt in place. I ended up with a daily bowl of water in them that I had to dump out else the water would slosh around all over the place.

    I couldn't find the trunk liner for PIP from the weathertech
    One which is available is $119.95 for non-PIP


    How much it will cost for OEM mats ?

    I see a $60 difference between Husky and Weathertech.
    I can pay extra $60 if it is worth.

    What do you think???

    Umm, what would you do with that bowl of water with any other kind of mats?

    I paid $99.99 for Weather-Tech front mats for my C last year at Cabela's. How much were the Toyota mats on eBay?

    My bad :( , I will rephrase now
    All weather floor mats -- need suggestion
    Actually, I replaced the mats in my Tacoma with Costco bought rubber mats and the smell was lingering for the past one year.
    I want something which looks like rubber and doesn't smell like one.
    I want to spend money, but dont want to make mistake.
    Mats should fit perfectly for my 2012 PIP and should look good :)

    Many other mats have far deeper channels which means the water is still there, but can't move around much, meaning I don't notice it typically. The best are the OEM mats I have in my Volvo which have a super-absorbent pad on the driver's side heel meaning I virtually never had any loose water.

    I paid $88 shipped for the cargo mat and $85 shipped for the 4 floor mats - all OEM Toyota, PIP specific.

    Note that the fit between the PIP and regular model is slightly different. Both in shape and maybe in access to the cargo tie-downs?

    See WeatherTech cargo mat for Prius doesn't quite fit PIP | PriusChat

    Thats what I got.
    I love them and the tie downs do have the cut outs. One thing is in cold ice weather they are a little slippery, other than that they work great.

    Jackie, I got it from Autoanything.com
    Husky liners will do its job.
    My remarks:
    1) Not the rich looking, they look little odd(not really cheap) in my fully loaded adv PIP.
    But I am happy with them, they will serve the job.

    2)Trunk liner did not fold for that little space.

    It is worth, only the half price than the weathertech ones.

    I will say to go for it.
