    I just picked up a brand new 2010 Barcelona Red Prius III today. Does anyone have any suggestions about where I can get all weather mats and body side moldings. I got 0.9% on my loan!

    Congratulations!

    You 'could' get the body side moldings here on PC PriusChat Shop : 2010-2011 Toyota Prius Body Side Moldings [FE-PRI10] - $122.00$119.00

    The all weather mats were hard to get for a while, not sure if that changed. You could try the dealer for the OWM ones, or the shop here lists having weathertech ones: PriusChat Shop : WeatherTech Toyota Prius Extreme-Duty Floor Liners [440851] - $0.00

    I have the OEM all weather mats and like them alot. Yes, they have flaws as talked about on here (the rim not being very high etc) but after a winter here in NYC they did the job well enough for me and fit perfectly. As for body side moldings, there are threads with pics of em'. I don';t like how they look at all but to each his own...

    Aloha and Welcome,

    There are a few popular all weather mats, some are better that others. Search the threads I decided on the Husky Liner WeatherBeater floor liners.

    I also was offered a platinum extended warranty that would cover my car for 84 months or 75,000 miles for $1,500. Does anyone else have an extended warranty or feel like it is important on a Prius.?

    bnaccs, Do not get the warranty. Many people have over 50,000 miles with zero issues.

    The Husky matts are a lot better then the WeatherTech matts.

    I ordered the Weather Teach floor liners and cargo mat. I also bought the body-side moldings from Prius Chat. A local body shop is going to install them for $40.
