    Hey all,
    Just purchased a 2014 Plugin. Loving it so far, but looking to upgrade a few items. Can I use items from a regular Prius to upgrade? Looks like it might be the 2010-2015 series? For instance, the roll up cargo cover, can I purchase that for a regular prius?

    The grill for the fog lights? Will this also fit?

    I'm learning a lot just by reading everyones posts! Thank you!

    Congrats on the new wheels.
    I am sure some PiP owners like @bisco will be along shortly to help you.

    congrats! the best way to be sure is to find a parts diagram on line, and see if the part numbers are the same. you can also call a dealer and enquire. all the best!(y)

    You sure your car doesnt have it in the secret compartment in the back? thats where its supposed to go when its not in use.

    Yes, the grill will fit. My co-worker bought this one off of eBay for his base PiP. not OEM, but fit perfectly. This kit comes with the fog lights too.

    Unless you have a cargo mat installed, it's not very secret ;)
    At the rear of the floor there are three compartments, all with small fabric tabs you can pull to open. The larger central compartment has a hinged door, and the side compartments have removable covers. You'll need to open all three to take out the luggage cover if it is stored in there. Look for "deck boards" in the manual for more info.

    The puncture repair kit and 12V battery are also located underneath the side compartments, so it's probably a good idea to work out how to access these.
