    Are there any toyota or aftermarket products out there that allows a gen5 owner to install a metal screen (or similar) just above the cabin filter?

    Apparently, there is such a product for the rav4, so l was wondering if such a product exists for the gen5 prius.

    Sure, but where is the intake?, how do you access it on the gen5?, anyone do this?, what kind of screen did you use?, what kind of attachment did you use for the screen, any links or videos or info?, etc.

    If you live near me I'd be happy to do it for you and post pictures on this thread too.

    Gen5 is so new, you'd do a great service to fellow Gen5 owners to figure it out and post photos.

    Will definitely do that if I am the first on the planet to do this mod.

    But, if not, I was just wondering if anyone has done this previously, and maybe had some pointers or suggestions?
