    When I got my GenIII.. I immediately started trying to figure out what all I would need to get my GenIII customized to the level my GenII was and so had to figure out what to buy.

    I don't have near the accessory list as some but here is a few things I've compiled so far that will/or won't transfer.

    1. Floor mats will "not"
    2. Rear netting in cargo area will.
    3. Front windshield Heat Shield "from Canvas Works" will. "GenIII mirror is a tad lower but works fine"...actually better!..... I think the visors get a better hold since it goes up higher.
    4. "not sure about oil plug yet???
    5. BT stiffening plate... "no need" Gen III already has robust supports in that place from edge to edge.
    6. Speed sensor wire disconnect... "not sure whats involved yet as I haven't done it yet with the Gen III"
    7. Coastal EV switch.. "no need" as there is already an EV mode "although limited to 25mph"
    8. Assuming tires and wheels will transfer just fine.. "not sure who would want to though"

    My hand-crafted mesh foglamp covers are irrelevant on my Prius IV ;)

    My dash mat will *not* carry over.

    The rear floor mats should be able to be carried over. The fronts won't.

    Any interior lights will carry over. The door courtesy light is a different bulb in the Gen III but still one that is used in the Gen II.

    I think it was Evan who said the EBH is the same ... but the rubber will be shot if you try to change it over.
