Pictures of my Seaside Pearl with Prius logos on doors

[pjdemmitt]

Hi everyone!

I am a signmaker in Columbia, MD and even before discovering something similar on a Japanese website, I scanned the Prius logo and created some lettering for the sides of my Seaside Pearl. Since the Hybrid Synergy Drive logo is not recognized by the general public, I added a tagline under it: GasElectricHybrid. I put just that on the back, also, under the license plate.

I have offered the decals in white, black and grey and have sets already made up in those colors.

Personally, I think the white works best on all the colors except the white, of course. That's because the lower portion of the car is usually darker anyway, so the white stands out a bit more. On the lighter colors, it is more subtle. However, a grey would work nicely on a white (instead of black) and it would work nicely on most of the colors too. I have sent gray ones to owners of Millenium Silver and Tideland Pearl cars.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to all the colors of Prii, so you will have to tell me what color you would like if it's not one of the above. I have seen a Salsa Red and the silver color, which was a local car. We wound up putting white on the silver and it looked good. It was subtle.

I can also make custom decals/stickers for you. So if you want an "Eat My Voltage" or "My Other Car is a Hybrid", I could make those too. These would be letters that would appear as if they were printed on the surface, not like a bumper sticker with a background. They would look similar to the photos.

I would not recommend a chrome. Because of the way that the material is made, they would not hold up as well as the vinyl ones. They are actually an adhesive-backed silver-colored mylar. I put some chrome initials on the doors of my van way back when and they didn't look good after a couple of years.

The vinyl will come off easily if you remove it right away. Once you apply the letters, they will come off, but they will be destroyed and not able to be used again. If you need to remove them months or years down the line, you can. Just lift a corner of each letter with a single-edge razor or sharp knife and pull the letters away from the car. There may be a glue residue remaining, but the Home Depot sells an adhesive remover that works well and doesn't damage the paint on the car.

You can see pictures of my Seaside Pearl with some custom lettering I made in the Appearance Modifications Album:

Another installation:

If the above links don't work, check the Appearance Modifications Album and go to the oldest pictures. I was one of the first to post pictures there.

They are $15 for a set. The set includes lettering for the two sides and the rear. The sides read: "PRIUS" in the logotype, about 2-1/4" tall with a smaller set (about 1") of letters that say "GasElectricHybrid" underneath the logo. The rear lettering sits under the license plate and says "GasElectricHybrid"; they are about 1-1/2" tall.

If you order two sets at the same time, I will only ask that you send me $25 for the two sets because I will include them both in the same package. You can get additional sets for $10 each if ordered at the same time and you can mix colors.

I will include detailed instructions for installation.

I will send a set out when you give me your USPS address and indicate that you want them. Also, it helps if you tell me what color you want.

I don't take PayPal or credit cards, unfortunately. I only take checks, but I don't need to have it here or to have cashed it. After all, you own a Prius! You have to be an honest person, with integrity!

Anyway, if you are interested, you can send me a check for $15 to:

Paul Demmitt
9337 Angelina Circle
Columbia, MD 21045-5110

Or you can order them through the PriusChat.com store; Danny now is selling them and accepting PayPal, which I don't take. He charges $17, but that additonal goes to maintaining the website.

And you can email me directly:

Forgot to mention, the pictures are in the Appearance Modifications sections

I was actually thinking about putting together some Priuschat stickers for the rear windshields - like the Lasercut stickers that have come out in the past couple of years.

Could we talk about doing something like that, and what the costs would be?

Check it out. If you like it, I can produce these in any color anyone would like. I did mine in reflective white. I worked out what I might charge for these: $15 a set, which includes right and left sides and a single line for the back under the license plate. I will do these in black or white for that price. That includes shipping and a squeege for application with complete instructions

You can email me at pjdemmitt@operamail.com. Please put \"Stickers\" in the subject line.

What pictures? I'd like to see them but couldn't find them.

I forgot to say that my car now has the stickers installed. I was going to post photos but Paul's photographs are good and I really appreciate his cooperation in furnishing them to me. They are easy to install.

Glad to hear - they are going to be the same style that we're using for the Priuschat.com window decal. Did you place them in the same spots as Paul?

Yes, I put them in the same locations. They look nice and others may want to get them. Very easy to install. Since my Prius in the blue, same as his, I used the stickers in White. He also has them in black, I think.

Just installed Paul's stickers. They look very nice. I'll post pictures of it when my car is dry (rainy days for a little while).
