    Aftermarket...Carmates and a few others makes a lot of aftermarket stuff for the Toyota Aqua in Japan. But Carmates is the popular one of the bunch.

    Wish I knew about that Amazon.Co.jp trick to get JDM stuff to America! I paid $21 for the steering wheel rings and $40 for the cupholder rings bleh.

    I recommend getting a front panel pocket so you have extra pockets to put stuff in. It doubles as a cellphone holder for phones less than 5 inches with a hole at the bottom for usb cable and sits above the steering wheel. Google Yak SY-A12. It's for Japanese Prius C but it is no problem being reversed for left side driving. The adhesive is terrible so get 3m mounting tape and it'll hold like a charm 7140616203_1.jpg

    Here are some tips for those who want to order from Amazon Japan

    STEP 1: Create an Amazon account on amazon.co.jp

    STEP 2: Go to your account settings (you can compare with your regular Amazon.com to know which is which)

    STEP 3: Change your language settings to English.

    [​IMG]
    STEP 4: After changing your settings, copy and paste the following text to the Amazon Japan search: トヨタ アクア NHP10 (or click here) and if you want to look for the Carmate Aqua stuff, copy and paste the following: アクア NHP10 カーメイト (or click here)

    STEP 5: Ordering. For anyone who has traveled out of the country, it's important to know that the majority of all banks and credit cards charge a small transaction fee. Unless you have a Charles Schwab, certain Citibank card that allows intl. purchase with no transaction fee, expect to see around $5-7 for $100 spent. If you spend $50, expect to see like a $1-$2 intl. transaction fee.

    OK, so you are cool with paying a low intl. transaction fee...add your debit/credit card on Amazon JP like you would on Amazon.

    Then start searching for products that you want and then make sure that the following message below shows. Because not all sellers will sell outside of Japan.

    [​IMG]

    OK, that's it...place your order. An example is as follows...the total is: 3105 yen which is $30.91 US. They typically add $14-$17 for shipping. So, in this case, they added Y1694 ($16.86 for shipping from Japan to US).

    And if you want to know the conversion, click here. 4799 yen is currently $47.74 US.

    [​IMG]

    Remember...the heavier the product, the more cost on shipping. But I actually love Amazon Japan's price compared to others places which have charged me over $75 on shipping (some with the gall after I paid everything including shipping to come back and asked me to pay even more money for shipping because they miscalculated weight - Amazon Japan never does this). I have never paid more than $50 for shipping and I ordered heavy products before.

    STEP 6: DELIVERY

    Amazon Japan ships sometimes faster than Amazon USA. Average shipping time from Japan to US is 2-4 days.

    They will send you a tracking #.

    They ship via DHL and although Japan says it will be delivered on a certain date, 9/10 from my experience, the shipments came the day before Amazon Japan's delivery date.

    Last but not least, because it's DHL, a signature is required and if you are not home, they will attempt three times. BUT if you live in a safe neighborhood, you can put a paper on your front door with a message to DHL. I do the following:

    DHL, please leave the following items (TRACKING # XXXXXX) on the front porch.
    AND THEN YOUR SIGNATURE...

    Track your DHL packages here.

    Amazon Japan does pack their items very well. I have ordered from them several dozen times and never received any damage goods.

    Hope this helps!

    When I took this photo...of my holder in my Prius C, the location of the map was where I interviewed and had a photoshoot with Japanese pop star KOM_I of the group, Wednesday Campanella.

    Today in Japan, Wednesday Campanella (Suiyobi no Campanella) Toyota Prius collaboration was unveiled in Japan for the TRY!PRIUS campaign.

    Got the eBay camera and it works great. The mirror is a Crimestopper from Amazon. Also works, though it has a lag time turning on vs an oem brand like a Gentex mirror.

    Do you have a link for the front lip? And maybe the bumper protector also?

    For the EZLip, the cool thing is after I purchased and gave them positive feedback, they offered a refund for $5 if I gave a review of the product. Which was cool!

    As for the bumper protector, which I submitted a lower offer of $55 and he accepted.

    I got mine from eBay but I don't see the Covercraft UVS100 (112398v) on sale right now on there, but you can get it on Amazon.
