    Post a link to the part or kit if you can. Sounds like an awesome upgrade over the stock side light ;)

    Padded glove box to stop things from rattling in there. Also stronger hydraulics on the hatchback so I don't keep hitting my head when it stops halfway up.

    My wife's new Camry Hybrid has warning lights for the blind spots on the side view mirrors. That would be cool on the Prius.

    An easier-to-reach (while driving) location for the USB port.

    I wish there was more sound insulation in doors. from outside the car I can hear the radio clear as day even if its not turned up that high.

    Yeah, that's a good one. Have to make do with the door unlock button, or put it in Park to unlock the hatch.

    I was rear ended a few weeks ago and when they fixed my car I had a brand new Prius for a week. What I missed the most when I returned to my 2011 was the active cruise. It's amazing!

    I added the turn lights/puddle lights to rear view mirrors. I didn't do the folding mirrors as the parts are plastic and read that if they get bumped in, wreaks the gears. I added blind spot monitor too.

    I so wished the backup camera had the moving direction outlines. I had it in a rented Yaris and Auris in Scandinavia.

    And a tie down hook for those very rare occasions I have to drive a short distance with tailgate not shut. Like when getting a piece of lumber from the home center. Bill

    I had them added to my car. Available online but installation was expensive.

    Push a caribineer into the latch in the threshold: silences the alarm and you can use it as a tie-down. Just eyeball the tang on the lid to get the right size.

    Also, use foam pipe insulation with the slit to protect hatch edge.

    I've tried this as a trial, works. (y)

    Ordered them online. Had them installed. There is somewhere in the ''pimp your Prius", a couple people have added them. The parts were only like $125. But installation for me was almost $300. Look for ''blind spot monitors" online and see if compatible to the model Prius you have.
