    I am planning on buying dedicated winter wheels and tires; I will most likely go with 15's unless I stumble onto an incredible deal on a 16 or 17" package. I classify winter wheels and tires as a practical/safety mod.

    I like the idea of springs and rear sway bar.

    Baby steps.

    I know it's cosmetic, but new steering wheel and dash kit.

    The remin kits from carid.com are nice. 40 finishes to choose from.

    2011 Toyota Prius Custom Dash Kits - CARiD.com

    Some of the pieces are harder to work with (steering wheel), because the curve. If you decide to get one, I'll tell you which pieces are the difficult ones. I'm still pretty happy with the kit.

    EDIT:
    Be sure if you get basic kit, it has pieces you want. The full kit is worth getting for the additional pieces. I initially bought the basic kit, but wanted a few more pieces which the full kit had. Cost me more $$$ in the long run trying to get single pieces.

    After seeing @Dylan Doxey 's steering wheel in person, I am now saving up for one. Those thumb grooves at 3 & 9 o'clock look really comfy. Anyone know where to buy the all-leather version?

    I would suggest the 3in1 sequential signal mirrors as they are a safety feature by allowing drivers on the side of u know that u intend to change lanes.

    The a RSB is also a safety feature as it make ur Prii more stable when it's windy....keeps u in ur lane :D

    P.S. To those of you who may assume I'm spending money on my car rather than investing in my family's future, please know that my family ALWAYS comes first.
