    Greetings!

    I'd be grateful if anyone tell me if Weathertech floor liners fit actually fit a RHD Prius? People from UK, Commonwealth Nations/former British colonies/territories might know. Thanks!

    Is Japanese Prius RHD like Australia?

    Yes, Japan is RHD. That's why Australia and New Zealand imports hand-me-down performance cars cheap! It also seems that all RHD markets have the same Prius mechanically, with only variations in interior options. So you could source headlights from Japan, but not from US.

    Sites like Rakuten Global are a good way to find manufacturers and products that will suit Australia. The custom market for Prius is massive in Japan and tiny here as most Prii are Government-leased and there's not much call for slamming and body kits.
    If you're not sure about ordering on-line, you could find an importer of Japanese performance parts and see if they can source from their suppliers and chuck it in the same container load. Maybe not floor-mats, but suspension parts, etc.

    And there's a few parts here: Prius Club of Queensland &raquo Accessories for your Prius

    Here's the response I got from Weathertech USA:

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your interest in WeatherTech! We do ship our products to Australia via FedEx Air and it usually takes 3-5 business days for you to receive your order.

    Unfortunately, our front floorliners and floor mats are made for left-hand drive vehicles and would not fit properly. Only the 2nd row and cargo liner would fit.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Cheers,

    Peter Salawa

    Ok, I bought this from Rakuten:
    Rakuten: 30 Series latter term Prius (ZVW30 late) floor mats PRIUS 3-piece set Black (Black stitch)- Shopping Japanese products from Japan

    It's awesome and fit like a glove! I believe it's made in Japan from recycled material. Damage is AU$165 (3 piece Floor mats + EMS shipping to Melbourne)

    This is about as close as you can get to a weathertech, custom made for Prius 2012+, slip resistant texture underneath the mat - works like velcro, precision cut and a very cool carbon fiber look to top it off.

    If you are after a top-notch quality floor mats - look no further than this baby! I'm blown-away! Will update this post with a detailed review soon!

    Not sure where you get that info from but I have had a set of official Toyota heavy duty rubber floor mats since I bought the car. They were not much more expensive than the normal mats.

    Well, I just can't find it anywhere online and it's not available from Toyota Australia. Are there any UK-based Toyota dealer who would ship it to Australia?

    do not know. There's one who is often on ebay and I think they're happy to add an item on if they know there's a seller. Just be aware that our prices will include 20% sales tax (they MAY take it off for outside EU sales, but it causes hassle this end) and shipping - the rubber mats are fairly heavy.

    This link is just for example (it's for a Prius+), but it's the dealer who I BELIEVE will ship abroad.

    GENUINE BRAND NEW TOYOTA PRIUS+ RUBBER MATS - BLACK PZ49K-G8351-RJ | eBay

    I guess if you give them a ring or email they may be able to help. I have never purchased from them and thus can't say what they're like, but their ebay feedback seems reasonable.
