One of the most annoying things that can happen to your Toyota Prius is to have some thoughtless person open their door and hit yours. Well, that and when they rub their shopping cart along the side. Short of going ballistic on everyone in earshot, the best thing that you can do is install a set of side body moldings to prevent these accidents from ruining your paint job.
You’re right, you should not have to add side body moldings to your car. People should just pay more attention, but they never will. So, you are left protecting your car.
Side body moldings are custom fit for your car and are easily installed. The hardest thing you will face is making sure they are straight before you stick them on. They are painted to auto specs to make color matching seamless.
You have quite a bit of money invested in your car and probably want to keep it at least until the loan is paid off. Why deal with door dings and anger when side body moldings can prevent both?

There are certain areas of your car that show more wear than others because of heavy use. The most glaring spot is the carpet in the cargo area. You can protect the resale value of your car by installing a cargo liner mat to cover that carpeting.
Carrying cargo is a year round event, but the carpet in the hatch of your car is not weather resistant. Custom fit cargo liner mats are made of a durable all-weather material and can be removed for easy cleaning. Just turn on a garden hose and clean the grime away. You can have the mat cleaned and re-installed in a matter of minutes.
When you are ready to sell your Toyota Prius, or any other car, you can simply remove the cargo liner mat and have the pristine carpeting underneath show. Your car is your investment. Why not protect in every way possible?

Moonroof deflectors work by redirecting wind up and over your moonroof. This reduces wind noise and turbulence inside your car, while keeping dust from settling on your interior. Since moonroof deflectors are custom fit for your Toyota Prius or other car, you do not have to worry about damaging your vehicle during installation.
A moonroof deflector can add a stylish and personal touch to your car. They are made of impact resistant polycarbonate and come in many colors. You can add the subdued touch of a smoke colored deflector or express your personality with a camouflage design.
A moonroof deflector can be both practical and flippant. You can express your personal style while insuring a less noisy ride. Whatever your reason for adding a moonroof deflector, be sure to buy a custom fit brand from a reliable manufacturer like WeatherTech.

It is always great to feel the sun on your head, but the noise and wind coming in your sunroof can be a distraction and annoyance. In order to keep your sunroof open and prevent the annoying wind, you only have one option: a sunroof deflector.
Noise reduction is not the only reason to have a sunroof deflector. In today’s fuel efficient market, every measure needs to be taken to maintain high mpg. An open sunroof creates increased aerodynamic drag, thus robbing fuel efficiency. A deflector helps the air to flow smoothly over your car, decreasing that effect.
The main purpose of a sunroof is to allow an open top feeling without owning a convertible. Adding a sunroof deflector will let you enjoy your sun roof without all of the annoying wind, noise, and dust, while helping to maintain your cars’ fuel efficiency.

Honda CR-Z carbon fiber hood
There are only so many modifications that you can make to your car’s engine without doing a complete build out. That leaves you looking at non-engine options like weight reduction. A Honda CR-Z carbon fiber hood offers the most obvious option.
A Honda CR-Z carbon fiber hood can reduce your car’s weight by as much as 30lbs(13.6 kg). That may not sound too amazing to the uninitiated, until you realize that losing that much weight can mean as much as half a second in 0-60 time.
There are several other ways to reduce the weight of you car, but the Honda CR-Z carbon fiber hood offers one of the greatest weight reductions in one area.

Custom seat covers
The front seats are the first part of any car that will show wear and tear. Sliding in or catching something in your pocket on a seam; it does not take much to start that first rip. Custom seat covers could be the best way that you can protect interior of your car.
By custom seat covers, we are not talking about your monogram or a personalized image. Custom seat covers are ones that are designed to fit you car. The manufacturers specs are used to fit each individual make and model to insure a tight fit that will enhance your interior.
Whether you trade in a car or try to sell it yourself, the buyer will look the interior over carefully. Every rip and hole will be noted and used to lower your price. You can prevent all of that aggravation by installing custom seat covers.

One aspect of resale value is the overall appearance of the car. The interior is more important to many buyers since that is where they will spend the majority of their time. One way to maintain the carpeting of your hybrid is to install all weather Prius floor liners.
All weather Prius floor liners offer solid construction and convenience. The design of the liners will channel water, dirt, and other debris away from the pedals and confines it to a small basin area. This basin can be quickly drained anywhere or the liner can be removed and hosed down.
Prius floor liners offer you the ability to maintain a higher resale value for your hybrid. You may not be thinking about that at this time, but who can predict when you might want to upgrade to a newer car. Maintaining the integrity of your car from day one will help you keep the payments on future vehicles as low as possible by retaining the value of your current model.

Just as you dress yourself in extra layers and winterize your house to protect it from the cold, your car needs extra preparation to make it through the winter as well. Preparing your Prius for Winter with the right Winter accessories can help you protect your Hybrid form the harsh weather elements like mud, dirt and snow.
Prius Mud Flaps a.k.a Mud Guards

Mud Guards sit behind the wheels to block debris from being thrown up from the tires onto the side of the vehicle. These Prius mud flaps protect the side of your Prius from the unwanted mess of Winter also protecting it from things such as dirt, rocks, scratches, chips and mud. Stylish and intuitively designed they greatly enhance the vehicle’s overall appearance and style too.
Prius Floor Mats and Floor Liners
Prius Floor Mat
Prius interior mats help protect your original carpeting from dirt, mud, snow and slush and are custom-fit to your Prius interior. The mats feature a multi-dimensional design that channels liquids and debris away from the feet – along with a molded outer edge or perimeter “lip” to prevent moisture from reaching the vehicle’s carpeting or flooring. Floor liners are probably one of the best investments for your Prius.
Prius Cargo Mats

A non-slip “nibbed” backing keeps the mat in place.
These liners are wear resistant, remains flexible under temperature extremes, and features a textured finish which helps to keep cargo from shifting, and is perfect for hauling just about anything from gardening supplies to construction materials or the family pet.

We have the pleasure of installing some Prius Suspension Upgrades. They include the new Prius Tanabe DF210 lowering springs and Prius Tanabe Sustec front Under Brace.
The DF210 springs offer a 1.3″ drop in front and 1.6″ in the rear and the ride quality is very close to stock. Just a little stiffer. The Sustec Under Brace also helps the overall feel of the car by stiffening up the front end more and reducing flex in the chassis.
Tanabe Sustec Under Brace-Total Tuning for Chassis. By connecting specific points of the undercarriage of your Toyota Prius, this under brace reinforces the strength and stability of the chassis. 2010 Prius 2 Point Under Brace is often overlooked, but the Prius experiences flexing of the unibody under various handling loads. Twisting of the chassis is also very common.
The Prius under Brace prevents this unwanted behavior by connecting specific points of the undercarriage to reinforce the chassis. Unique internal double-i-beam construction is highly rigid and lightweight, so the chassis may be significantly reinforced without adding surplus weight.
The under brace (especially when used with the strut tower bars) will further improve handling and chassis strength. Excellently constructed with a high quality design and fitment, this under brace was made to fit the 2005-2010 Toyota Prius.
The 2010 Toyota Prius Lowering Springs Sustec allows for the perfect drop for your 2010 Toyota Prius, and creates an ideal balance. These springs will lower your Prius, while increasing handling potential, and maintaining ride comfort.
These 2010 Toyota Prius DF210 Super Lowdown Coil Springs raise your Prius’ spring rate about 10-15% in order to compensate for the shortened amount of suspension travel, without over stiffening the spring rate and therefore improving the ride quality.
The Prius coil springs have an extremely low stance, as well as high quality performance and comfort. These coil springs for your Toyota Prius offer a large drop while still retaining the quality ride characteristics that your Prius is so well known for.
