What 3 accessories would you add?

The top three extras that owners do (excluding audio & phone) are probably:

- upgrade the tires

- add a rack or hitch

- add a scantool

 

Mud flaps do a great job protecting the lower body from splashes. They look good too.

1. Ventureshield, as much as you can afford, but definitely the bumper and hood.
2. Upgrade the tires (wheels were too expensive for me, but Michelin Hydroedge or Goodyear TripleTreads work well for the rubber) (The dealer told me that the original tires are good for warm, sunny weather...that's it!!!)
3. Tint (all the way around)

 

Sorry, but can't keep it to three.

What I'll immediately do to my next Prius:

BT tech plate
Hood deflector
Mud guards
bumper guard
MFD hood


I'll also make sure I have both the horizontal and vertical cargo nets, exactmats, dashmat and of course the tonneau cover. (They weren't standard on my first Prius.)

These are the minimum.

 

Here is what I did:

1. Window tint
2. HD & iPod addition/upgrade
3. EV mod.

 

1. Display showing "traditional" & advanced engine parameters (temp, oil pressure, current draw, etc)

2. Full-size spare

3. Language selection option

How many of you have problems with the paint getting dings? I've only had the car for 2 days and seeing some of these blemishes.

For the past days of ownership, I say one thing to get is a roof rack and some tint.

 

BT Tech Plate
Signal Mirrors
Mud Guards

 

1. bra
2. tint
3. better tires

the nose takes a lot of damage, so we got the bra pretty early. tint came a few months later when it got hot. we couldn't afford new tires but had no choice when they wore out at 28k. the difference is substantial.

 

Well only 3? mm...

If you dont want to spend a lot of money I'd say go for the

BT plate
Tint

If you have the money then...

go for a tire upgrade... or maybe even wheel upgrade... try staying light so you wont have such an impact on mpg (the main reason for getting a Prius)... Also you might want to add some of Toms racing suspension equipment... and the TRD sportivo kit... I went ahead and added some nice aftermarket HID since mine had none... works for visibility...

hope this works for you and enjoy your car!

 

Everything listed isnt really a mod, they're just accessories so far. Tint, tires, bra, etc... all things you can easily buy and install yourself. OP is talkin Mods from Toyota that are either hard to do yourself or expensive. My list:
1. Panaramic sunroof (my tC has one and I LOVE it!)
2. Either a shift-tronic or manual tranny option.
3. More engine info! (I know scangage and things like that can do it, but from the factory, it would be nice to see engine temp, tach, voltometer, etc..)

 

1. Sunroof
2. Tinted windows
3. Bra

 

1. Subwoofer professionally installed.
2. LED replacement of all the interior bulbs and license plate.
3. Anti slip, rattle pads in all the cup holders.
4. Leather wrap the center arm rest.

Opps I can't count.

 

My top three mods, probably in order:
1. Tint
2. Mudguards
3. BT Plate

New tires are are important, but I can't justify until OEM's wear out.

 

Accessories:
1. touch-up paint
2. hitch receiver & basket
3. roof rack

Mods:
4. BT plate
5. Wheels & Tires (I wouldn't bother "upgrading" to a different set of 15" tires)
6. TRD suspension

EV mod for an '06? That one won't be simple...

(I've done #1-4 on the '06, 1-5 on the '05)

 

Since the OP asked about accessories, not mods, here are three items I've found to be very beneficial:

1. MFD hood
2. Weathertech mats (front/rear/hatch)
3. Sunshades

Please let me know where you got the Anti Slip, rattle pads for the cup holder. That drives me crazy.

Top three for me.

1) EV Switch
2) BT Stiffening plate
3) Subwoofer upgrade with speakers

Might as well do all of the door armrests as well. The cloth does NOT hold up well.
