    Was surprised to see that floor mats are a $200 accessory on the PIP. No thanks!

    Does anyone have recommendations on where to get reasonably priced floor mats?

    But then you won't get the shiny embroidered "plug in Prius" letterings!

    BUT... this is coming from someone who paid $60 for the stupid appliqué on the rear bumper so don't listen to me:)

    Do you want carpet or all-weather? Carpet will be a bit cheaper, but not much. If all-weather, OEMs are a bit cheaper than aftermarkets like WeatherTechs or Huskys. Any of the all-weather will run you close to $200 for a full set (front, back, and cargo). Or you could just go with some cheapy AutoZone specials, but they probably won't fit well.

    There is a little overkill in the repetition with "Plug-In Prius" in the back. The carpet liner has it, the plastic trunk liner has it, and if you have the appliqué, it has the third. So in about 8 inches, you get all three. Makes the point, however! I don't know if the appliqué is necessary, but if it can take a few minor cargo scratches here and there, it's worth the price. I installed the one on my GenII, and you could hardly see the ghost Prius printed on the plastic. In the new one, it's live and in color!

    I have a 46 yr wool carpet that I have saved. I had it outside under my Carom table and it became worn and tattered on one side, but the rest of it is still in good shape. I thought fitting that in the car would be unique. If it does not work out, there plenty out there are plenty more without forking over $200.00

    If you are just wanting a set of 4 rubber mats for the front, go to Sam's Club and you can pick them up for $20 or so. They are fairly good mats,
    and the fit is also good, plus they come in various colors.

    I bought the husky weatherbeater and the floor mats fits very well. It's lightweight and durable. The only problem is the driver's side - it has a gap where the gas door release is (for regular hybrid). Husky is working on the new model for the plugin.

    I also have the cargo liner and it fits pretty well.
