#302 of 353 Rear bumper protecter by m2mazda6 Apr 13, 2008 (9:41 am)
When I test drove a Prius and talked to the salesman he said you really need to add the rear bumper protecter on it, does anybody have this? He said it cost $100. I think I could get one myself and put on for a lot less Replies to this message: djkrs2 (Apr 13, 2008 1:02 pm)

Replying to: m2mazda6 (Apr 13, 2008 9:41 am) I have one on mine. It's basically a protective decal that keeps the top of the bumper from getting scratched up. I think it looks pretty good on my white care. Mine was part of the package 3 when I got it, or they added it but I didn't really have a choice. If you slide things out of the back it could help from scratching up the bumper. You probably could put it on yourself.
#304 of 353 windshield glass for my 2008 Touring Prius by prusa May 04, 2008 (5:58 pm)
I just bought a 2008 Touring Prius (PKG 6) and as I was driving from work the other day, a small rock hit my windshield (glass window) and it needs to be replaced. Toyota wants over $1,000.00 to replace it. The guy around the corner will replace it, but it will not be the original for about $285.00. Should I buy the original or settle for the regular glass? I read somewhere that we should stick with the original parts. However, this is a lot of money for a windshield glass window. I am planning to keep this car until it dies on me.   If anyone wants to give me your advice you are more than welcome. And if you had this experience with a new car let me know, too. Thanks in advance. PRUSA cry: Replies to this message: stevegold (May 04, 2008 7:42 pm) prusa (May 07, 2008 4:44 pm)

Replying to: prusa (May 04, 2008 5:58 pm) Tell Toyota to shove it. $300 is about right and it will be the equivalent of what it came with. Make sure the top is tinted if your original was. If you show Toyota the estimate, they will correct their mistake and do it for $400. They probably send it out to be done, sometimes to the same guy.

Replying to: stevegold (May 04, 2008 7:42 pm) The total cost was $285.00 including tax. The truth is that it even looks better than the original one. You can't even tell the difference! So.... (silly me) I was going to pay $715.00 for the Toyota sticker that you can't even see and that is at the bottom of the windshield. Well, today... had to place my post decals (to enter the military post) so the Toyota sign was not going to be visible anyway. Thanks for giving me your opinion. Now, I am back to enjoying my Prius. It is people like you that make this forum so important. PRUSA

Replying to: mfruin (Sep 26, 2007 11:29 pm) I know this post was quite some time ago. I too am looking for a cargo area liner. I have one of these in my explorer and outback, they work great and you can customer fit to the area you want to protect. I found 2 types they seem equally good.   http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ProductBrowse?storeId=10101&Pr=p_Product.CATE- NTRY_ID%3A2004637&productId=2004637&catalogId=10101&N=111%2B10201%2B600000596&rl- id=group_listing   and   http://www.jcwhitney.com/TRIM-TO-FIT-RUBBER-BED-PROTECTORS/GP_2016745_N_111+1020- 1+600000996_10101.jcw   would love to know what you think of them Replies to this message: tothemaxx2 (May 31, 2008 10:07 am) scrittibear (Jun 03, 2008 5:59 pm)
#308 of 353 Prius Standard vs. Touring by mshad May 15, 2008 (1:16 pm)
Can someone enlighten me on the differences between the Touring and the Standard (or Base) model? Form what I read online, I beleive the tires and wheels are different and perhaps the suspension - is there any major benefit of this? I live in Dallas (in case it matters for the tires) and am contemplating a buying a 208 Prius once I sort through all the options. Is this worth spending the extra $$ for?

Replying to: mshad (May 15, 2008 1:16 pm) Slightly wider tires and maybe slightly different suspension tuning -- not worth the money in my book. You find all the details on toyota.com.

#311 of 353 Re: creature comforts? [02priusdallas] by pittsburgh40b May 26, 2008 (7:20 pm)
Replying to: 02priusdallas (Sep 24, 2007 10:08 am) I have the same question--where do you put your trash bag and other items you want to keep within easy reach while driving? Nothing in Toyota accessories offers a solution.   Can anyone suggest a solution for storage near the driver's seat?   Of course, this is a minor gripe--I feel lucky to have found a Prius before gas prices marched toward $4/gallon and new models became scarce.
