    Okay, pipcked up my Prius last night. Did not get suckered out of the already installed floor mats, which the dealer ship would have been more then willing to charge me. Now I am just looking to get any information I can about what else I should get and where to get it. I figure I need to get some cargo net for groceries and stuff, so which is best and what doesn't work.

    Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance

    My recommendations...

    Make it last:
    - Seat covers (GT-seat covers are excellent)
    - bra (clear or black, no push-up) if you get stone chips on the highway
    - rubber and/or absorbant mats for floor and way-back
    - mudflaps if you trek in the muck

    Make it cooler:
    - window tinting or at least windshield parking shield

    Make it versatile:
    - rear hitch like Coastal's

    Make it techie:
    - Motion defeat kit for Nav and/or BT
    - EV switch if you dare

    I recommend the flat cargo net that uses the rings that alread exist. There is enough strech in the elastic to cover reasonably large loads.
