The Receiver Hitch made by Curt Manufacturing is an ideal product for your 2010 Honda Insight. This is a light trailer hitch that can haul up to 2,000 pounds of maximum gross trailer weight and 200 pounds of maximum tongue weight (insert your own “that must be a big tongue” joke here). The Receiver Hitch will fit on your 2010 Insight without any special tools or drilling. The receiver hitch is made with precision robotic welding, which means superior strength, durability, and a perfect fit every time. It’s compatible with our Snug-Tite Receiver Lock, so installation is a breeze. It’s also great to use with our Bike Rack, so you can swap out between a regular trailer and the bike rack.

Want a whole new Prius without buying a whole new Prius? Try the Prius Body Kit by Kenstyle for the 2004 – 2009 model Priuses (or is that Prii?). We import our kits directly from Japan, where they’re produced with the highest standards of quality. You can buy the entire kit, or just pieces of it: a front spoiler, side panels (spats), and a rear valance. You’ve seen these kits zipping around town, look sleek, unique, and very personal. The kits are made with FRP — fiber reinforced plastic — which is a combination of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins, which create very durable, impact-resistant components. The FRP process ensures our products are free from normal fiberglass deficiencies including waviness, spider cracks, chips, and gel coat damage. Each kit come finished with a gel coat, and is ready to paint. FRP products are in wide use, even on Corvettes, and on several Formula 1 race cars. So if it’s good enough for Corvettes and European racers, think of what it’ll do for your Prius.

Because nothing says “TO THE EXTREME!!” like an eco-friendly gas-electric hybrid engine, you need a way to haul your skis and snowboards to your favorite mountain. (Do people even say “to the extreme” anymore?) The THULE Ski and Snowboard Rack can hold up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards while you head to the mountains (or the really flat land if you’re a cross-country skier). The extended bracket allows thicker ski bindings, while the locking arm holds skis and snowboards securely in place, so you don’t have to worry about whether they safely made the trip. Works great with the Prius Receiver Hitch from Curt Manufacturing.

Prius owners are a little more careful than the average car owner, even if your car is more than five years old. That’s why the Cargo Mat for the 2009-2009 Prius is a great way to keep the cargo area of your Prius clean and looking new. The non-skid backing holds the cargo mat in place, so it doesn’t slide around. Of course, it’s a custom fit so you don’t have to worry that much about it. Use this all-weather mat to haul around wood, gardening supplies, wet dogs, and anything else that might dirty your cargo area. Better yet, use your spouse’s car for that stuff, just keep the cargo mat for those special emergencies, like when he or she says, “wait a minute. Don’t you have a cargo mat? Use your own freaking car!”

I’m sitting in my favorite coffee shop looking out the window at the passing cars, thinking about splashguards (don’t ask; I’m a car guy. It’s what we do), when I realized splash guards are not standard issue. In fact, of the last 15 cars I’ve seen go by, none of them have splash guards. And I’ll bet if I looked every closely one of them would have rock chips, scratches, and even road tar on the door and rear panels. If you want to protect your car’s finish, and keep it looking clean and pristine, you need to consider these Splash Guards for the 2010 Honda Insight. These guards will give your Honda a great look and provide you with the added protection to keep your finish looking sharp. They’re custom fitted to your wheel wells, to blend in with the vehicle’s design. They don’t require any drilling or special tools, which protects against corrosion. And they’re made with injection-molded thermoplastic to give superior strength and durability, even in the harshest weather.

You know the feeling. It happens especially in the winter. You cringe whenever you climb in the car and your feet are covered in slush and muck. You just know the slush is melting into your carpet and the dirt is getting ground in. In fact, every time you get into your car, you die a little bit inside. The WeatherTech All-Weather Floor Mats can save your carpet, and your soul, little bit by little bit. That’s because these floor mats have deeply sculpted channels that trap water, salt, mud, and gunk and let it drain away. They have anti-skid ridges so they won’t shift in your vehicle, the way other car mats do. And they won’t curl, crack, or harden in sub-zero weather, so they’ll last beyond their first winter.

Most new car owners are zealots about keeping their cars clean and looking new for the first several months. After that, most of them just sort of go “meh,” and give up. We’ve found that a lot of Prius owners are still concerned about their cars, even as old as 5 years. That’s why we offer the Prius Hood Protector, for 2004- 2009 models. The hood protector for Prius is made of scratch resistant, UV-resistant plastic, and is made to contour to the curves of your vehicle. It’s easy to install, and doesn’t require any drilling or special tools. Keep your hood looking as good as it would if you could keep it in a —hmm, nothing else rhymes with hood. Never mind. Just keep your hood looking new and scratch-free with the hood protector.

The iPod has changed the way we listen to music, but it’s been hard to use them when we drive. There are — or should be — laws in your state about driving with earbuds in your ears. But unless you have a car with a Line In jack, there was no way to listen to your iPod in your car (the FM micro-broadcasters are too staticky in some cities.). But the NeoProlink iPod Adapter is changing all that. You can actually access your iPod through your Prius navigation screen, view your playlists, read the title and information about the tracks, and listen to it all in digital-quality sound. The Adapter also charges your iPod while you listen. The Neo Prolink iPod Adapter is compatible with your 2004 – 2009 Toyota Prius, 2005 – 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, 2007 – 2009 Toyota Camry, and 2008 – 2009 Scion xB and xA.
