Prius Touring Package Suspension Upgrade (Fits 2004 to 2009)
We’ve worked with Toyota to bring you the official factory version of their suspension components to upgrade your Prius with the new Touring Package. The entire system gives your Prius better, stiffer handling and braking, which Consumer Reports said gives it the handling of some of the better-performing family sedans. “It got through our avoidance maneuver 3 mph faster,” said Consumer Reports. Our complete system includes the upgraded and heavy duty front sway bar, rear strut set, and springs for a lot less than you can get it from the factory, but with all the same “Euro tuned” results.

Kiwi Gas-Saving Computer for your Prius
The Prius is a great fuel-saving vehicle, but it’s only as good as the person behind the wheel. While you probably fancy yourself a green driver, the Kiwi gas saver will save you hundreds of dollars and improve your Prius’ mileage. The Kiwi Gas Saver works almost like a game to help you avoid rapid acceleration, driving too fast, braking too heavily and frequently. The Kiwi plugs right into your vehicle’s diagnostic port (every car after 1996 has one), and will show you how much money you’re saving on gas costs compared to your last trip. Your daily goal is to earn the highest Kiwi Score possible. Just one more fancy piece of technology to an already technologically-advanced car.

Prius Decal
Nothing says “Prius” like the little metal thingy on the back that says “Prius.” Except maybe a 4″ decal that says “Prius,” plus “GasElectricHybrid” in 1″ letters underneath. Our Prius Decal comes in 2 side sets and a small 1.5″ tall decal for the back, which fits right under your license plate. The Prius Decal is a high quality laser-cut, well, decal designed specifically to fit this brand and model. You can put them on the sides and back to make your car special and to stand out from the rest of the crowd. Unless everyone else gets them. Then you may have to consider the old tennis-ball-on-the-antenna trick.

All Weather Cargo Liner (Prius 2010)
“Stiff upper lip” is no longer a phrase reserved for the British military. The new All Weather Cargo Liner made for the 2010 Prius has a raised lip to keep spills, dirt and grease off your cargo area, protecting it from the usual wear and tear. (Let’s see a British colonel do that.) It’s made to remain flexible in all temperatures, and has a textured finish which will keep cargo from sliding and shifting. Perfect for hauling gardening supplies, kids’ sporting equipment, and the family pet. And since it’s designed specifically for the 2010, including the Prius logo, it looks like it came with the car. You’ll be the envy of all the other hybrid owners on your block.

WeatherTech All Weather Cargo Liner (Prius 2010)
The WeatherTech All Weather Cargo Liner has been designed to fit your 2010 Prius perfectly — so well, in fact, that people will think it came with the car. This cargo protector will, well, protect your cargo area, keeping the carpet nice and clean. Useful for hauling around groceries and antiques, it can also handle the wear and tear from hauling around sports equipment, tools, and Daggers, the long-clawed family dog. The WeatherTech All Weather Cargo Liner also has a textured finish, which keeps your gear from sliding around, and gives Daggers something to really dig into. At least until you get him to the groomer’s for a trim.

THULE Prius Bike Rack (2004-2010 Prius)
While the Prius is fairly spacious for such a compact car, it’s still not big enough to haul two bicycles. That’s where the Thule Prius Bike Rack can come in handy. It will fit on any Prius, from 2004 to 2010, and can carry up to 70 pounds. So you can even haul around two old Schwinn ten-speeds without any problems. The front of your car may run a little high, but you’ll be secure knowing your Thule can handle it. The rack also features Thule’s Hitch Switch quick release levers that allows for fast access to the cargo area, and foldable arms for convenient storage. The T3 Cradles also lock down your bikes and cradles, which keeps the secure, and stops them from swinging into the back of the car while you’re driving.

Cargo Mat for 2010 Prius
Prius owners tend to be a little. . . careful. We want to keep things just so. So the Cargo Mat for 2010 Prius is a great way to keep the cargo area of your Prius intact, clean, and looking brand-spanking new. The non-skid backing helps keep the cargo mat in place too, so it doesn’t slide around and — Heaven forfend! — get a little crooked and out of sorts. This all-weather mat is great for hauling around wet dogs, wood, and anything else that might sully the cargo area. Come to think of it, your spouse’s car is great for that too. Just don’t tell them we said it.

If you’ve ever grabbed a hot steering wheel on summer day, you know the searing pain every driver has experienced at least once in their lives. But with the Heatshield Customer Windshield Visor made for the 2010 Prius, you can keep the interior of your car as much as 40 degrees cooler.

You can get HeatShields for all the windows in your car, including the side and rear windows.

Prius Receiver Hitch (2010 Prius) Curt Manufacturing
Despite the name, the Prius Receiver Hitch is not suitable for hauling around football receivers. (We’ve talked about respecting other people’s boundaries before, right? Now let the nice man go.) And all welds are made by robots, so you know they’re both strong and precise. The Prius Receiver Hitch is designed to fit on all 2010 Priuses (or is that Prii?), without any drilling or special tools. It’s compatible with our Bike Racks and Ski Racks, so installation is a breeze.Because you cannot tow anything with a Prius, only use the hitch for the bike and ski racks.

The Navigation Panel is one of the coolest things about the Prius (okay that, and the gas-electric hybrid engine). You can use your Nav Panel for its map and GPS features, finding radio stations, and loading CDs — just make sure to keep your eye on the road. But what about those times when the sun is glaring off the screen, making it impossible to see? Our
