Okay, pipcked up my Prius last night. Did not get suckered out of the already installed floor mats, which the dealer ship would have been more then willing to charge me. Now I am just looking to get any information I can about what else I should get and where to get it. I figure I need to get some cargo net for groceries and stuff, so which is best and what doesn't work. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance
I have bought or added: 1 side moldings 2 aux battery for more accessory power. (Got big Marine Optima, the one that can connect to a vent hose. (runs my car refrigerator) 3 sheepskin seat covers 4 mudflaps 5 Garmin Nav 2620 6 Back up distance sensor 7 Cabin electric pre-heater plugs into 110 with plug in bumper 8 Rubber floor mats for winter. 9 EV switch from Japan 10 Sunshield 11 Battery isolator 12 Bound Log book to record gas and maintenance 13 Canadian Block Heater (on order) 14 Economy OBDII meter 15 Electric Jack 16 Snow Tires on steel rims 17 Spikes Spider chains just in case 18 karcher pressure washer Plan to add automatic damper to block radiator for winter, along with sound/heat insulation in doors. Also audio upgrades from my old car mostly including amp and subwoofer.
My recommendations... Make it last: - Seat covers (GT-seat covers are excellent) - bra (clear or black, no push-up) if you get stone chips on the highway - rubber and/or absorbant mats for floor and way-back - mudflaps if you trek in the muck Make it cooler: - window tinting or at least windshield parking shield Make it versatile: - rear hitch like Coastal's Make it techie: - Motion defeat kit for Nav and/or BT - EV switch if you dare
I recommend the flat cargo net that uses the rings that alread exist. There is enough strech in the elastic to cover reasonably large loads.
Wheelskins, dash designs, exact mats, horizontal and vertical cargo nets, mudguards, decals, antenna topper, GT covers. Other stuff. I shopped a number of places depending on what I was looking for.
