    I'm torn between the handling upgrades or the stereo upgrades. I don't think i could live without either, but I'd probably pick the handling mods as my favorite, since the JBL system isn't that bad.

    Boo, I got the B&G Springs. Next thing I need to get is new shocks because I think these are going to blow soon from what i've seen on other lowered cars.

    The Michelin Hydroedges are up there ... 70K miles, and they hardly look worn.
    All time? Lockpic.

    Obus Ultra Forme backrest by far, if I had to pick just one.

    Next ones in order are:
    2. Window tint
    3. Mudguards
    4. Tom's front strut brace
    5. Cotton seat covers

    Definitely the CA HOV sticker :)

    But to answer the question (in order of value):

    Coastal Tech nav speed sensor product (early version)
    Steering wheel cover
    Rear bumper hitch
    Coastal Tech EV Mode
    Chassis reinforcing plate

    Next:
    20" wiper (on order)

    Very interested in:
    Coilover installation/replacement. On this, there doesn't seem to be a useful thread on coilover comparisons and replacement. I'm not a believer in spring replacement, but want to improve handling and lower the car. Any advice would be welcomed.

    +2. I always do this to my cars if they don't have a factory leather wheel. Mine didn't fit as well as previous wheelskins (or maybe I should have warmed it a lot) and I will probably re-do it with a 2-tone one.

    What kind did you do?.... maybe you don't have one of the wires you crimped into quite making connection.

    I did the kind where you pull back the cruise lever for a couple of seconds.. works charmy!

    Bumper Stickers and my customer plate. When the Prius Forum shop releases its much anticipated rear window gun rack, I'll be in a bind for my favorite mod.

    Love the upper struts brace, and the body stiffening brace and the optimus battery and the xm and the engine heater and the dice and the
    ev switch and the k&n air filter and the mobil 0-20 and the scangauge 2, don't mind the sharkfin antenna or the weathertech mats and window covers but my favorite is the michelin 205-45 Zr "nitrous" tyres for summer that I'm getting 51.7mpg on :cool:

    ok ... being 6'-5" ... I have to change my mind from when I first posted my fav ~ but it's amazing what a little better posture will do for you. I know I've posted it elsewhere, but here goes:

    Love your bumper stickers. Thought about putting some of those on my car too. But where I live, afraid someone will drive me off the road to shoot me.
