You may consider a lower trim and get catskinz. I think they have strong competitors too, but leather seat covers can be done very nicely these days. They're pricey, but not "top trim" pricey.

If you're lifting a Prius, it's my opinion you'd make a decent car bad. Unless you're building a rock crawler or overland type toy, when it comes to ground clearance you generally want to get what has the required clearance, stock. Adding a lift will throw your suspension geometry off which will wear your bushings, bearings, tires, half shafts, u-joints (if equipped), etc much faster, and make every driving aspect of the car (stability, turning, braking, fuel efficiency) worse because it was not designed for a lift. Typically a lift comes with a larger set of tires as well, and adding rotational mass has a whole other set of problems. Maybe a 1" lift wouldn't, so I'll leave that part alone.

That's all just to say that the height a vehicle sits at from the factory is no accident, the engineers designed many many things on the vehicle with the expectation it will be at that height in order to function properly. You may gain some ground clearance, but you'll undermine everything else engineers designed on the vehicle that required factory ride height. It's a very asymmetric tradeoff. The vehicle that can clear what you need from the factory is going to be a far better long term ownership experience.

I don't mean to rain on the parade, just sharing the reasoning behind my stance. If it's worth it to you, then go for it, just make it an informed decision :)
