If we talk about the same thing, my car came with it and I thought it was factory standard, at least on the fully loaded TCH since I wasn't charged anything extra for it? It's a piece of plastic on top of rear bumper. Mine looks fine, as a matter of fact I didn't notice for good 6 months that I had some protective plastic on my side view mirrors as well. Maybe it looked worn out on that Prius because it served it's purpose of taking the abuse when people load heavy stuff into trunk? You can always take it off, so the question actually is if it's worth the price?
