    Hi Everyone,
    Just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Greg and I just joined the Prius club a few weeks ago. I got a blue 2013 Toyota Prius Two from Al Hendrickson Toyota.

    In just a short time I have gotten my windows tinted to the max legal tint. I also installed my iPhone holder from ProClipsUSA.com. I did get leather installed (light grey) at the dealership but it does make a huge difference specially for me who is also a runner, sweat on the cloth material starts to smell... I've ordered the lower door moldings from ebay, as well as a steering wheel cover from Wheelskin (two tone charcoal/grey, perforated leather). Today I picked up my HOV FL sticker for $5 annual fee and sent my application for free toll on I-95.

    My hope is to install, fog lights, illuminated door sills and a rear view camera (although I only have the non-nav screen), I think I saw a post already for that. Shark fin antenna will be my next purchase.

    If there are other tips I would greatly appreciate any help.

    I did love my previous car, 2009 Honda Fit but I couldn't even consider the Insight for my hybrid transition so I decided to go for the pioneer of hybrid engineering, the Prius and I couldn't be happier about doing so.

    Best to all,

    Good call there Greg! I had a Fit also and it is a great car. I also had the Insight for a little over a year and it did not work out well for me -- too cramped, underpowered and I think the battery was starting to act weird.

    The Prius isn't perfect but it works well for me. It's got great fuel economy and is reasonably comfortable and can hold 4 people.

    Best of luck to you and you'll enjoy this car.
