    My son was in an accident in his 2011 Prius.

    The following need to be replaced:
    1. Passenger fender
    2. Front bumper
    3. Front passenger headlight
    4. passenger and driver hood supports
    5. possibly the hood, not sure yet

    I can get these parts at the local junkyards.

    I just wanted to know if anyone can tell me the year range that these parts will fit a 2011?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Not sure what you mean about the hood supports but the other parts you listed should also be available as aftermarket parts. I recently had to replace some parts on the front of my car and the front bumper cover was $65.00. Much cheaper than the salvage yards were asking for damaged parts.

    That shopping list makes me think you should have an accredited body shop assess the damage.

    No offense, but this is one reason I always buy new.

    But what does this have to do with his question? He's not asking who should repair the car or where he should get the parts, only looking for help on what year models could supply what he needs.
    gtp70, sorry I don't know for sure but years 2010 through 2015 could be possible candidates.

    As @bettergolf kindly mentioned, Prius cars were made with the same basic design (model code ZVW30) for model years 2010 through 2015, but there were some changes over that period.

    Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) could give you an idea of the likely range of compatibility. Go to parts.toyota.com > Hybrids & FCV > Prius > 2011 > Hybrid > Hatchback > Body & Interior, and then, for example, to Radiator & Hood > Hood & Front Fender. In the image, note that the right front fender has part name code 53801, for which the table below the image lists part number 53801-47040, along with the note “From 200904 to 201112. From 201112 to 201210.” That means the part number applies to vehicles produced from April 2009 through October 2012. If you click the part number, and then select the What This Fits tab and click Show More, you’ll see that it can be used on at least some 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 Prius models.

    Keep in mind, however, that the EPC is meant only to provide information on service parts, which may have broader compatibility than parts salvaged from vehicles. In the example above, the fact that service part number 53801-47040 can be used on some 2010 through 2013 cars does not mean that all such cars were originally built with that part, or that the right front fenders from all of those years can be freely interchanged, only that the part with that number is a satisfactory replacement.
