2004 – 2009 Prius Ultimate Protection!

We now offer the “Ultimate Protection” package for the 2004 – 2009 Prius. This includes the plate for the bottom and two additional panels that provide an extra level of protection to ensure your catalytic converter stays attached to your car. We have seen instances of the converter being taken even with the original plate installed. If you already have the original plate we can add the two additional pieces to give you maximum protection, for a modest additional fee. If you or someone you know owns a 2004 – 2009 Prius, we cannot recommend this enough. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate otherwise it may be too late. Really, it only takes a few minutes for the catalytic converter to be stolen from your car. The Ultimate kit costs $495.00 parts and labor. The update kit costs $231.00 parts and labor. A discount may apply when done with other repairs.
