    My post is an older post. Regretfully, this Fall I had to have an insurance-covered rebuild of my front bumper as a dumpster truck crushed my left front corner, including headlight, while I was inside a coffee house - so I now have a new bumper sans plugged holes. However, I assure you that appropriate black nylon hole plugs of various sizes are super-cheap and available at any good hardware store. These nylon plugs take Toyota paint stick paint well.

    Oops - perhaps you meant how the lowered front license plate looks on the Prius. Here are two pix:
    Oops - perhaps you meant to see how the lowered license plate looks on the Prius. I just took two pix and tried to upload them but for some reason the site rejects them. (please note that the PiP has a horizontal silver color bar just above the lower grille which the regular Prii don't have). I'll try again later tonight.

    Kind of interesting what people dislike and immediately "modify".

    My "cheap" modification, that I felt was almost a necessity was a wheelskins steering wheel cover. Absolutely could not stand the cheap plastic scratchy Toyota wheel.

    Not easy to install, not cheap for a steering wheel cover, but if you have the entry level steering wheel IMO almost a necessity.
