    Nice.

    From the pictures, it would appear that on the Gen III the front quarter
    panel HSD badges are no longer located with pins and holes in the
    bodywork like the '06-'09 Gen IIs.

    Is this correct?

    no, they still use pins. Since he's "gotta to wait till everything fully drys" - I'd guess he had them filled and painted.

    Nice, but Prius is so distinctive. It is still a Prius from far or close even it is de-badged. Just my 2 cents.

    Thanks for the nice comments everybody... A lot has been upgraded since then... Actually, my car is complete... And yes stock wheels were replaced... As for the cost... Just $1400... Not bad considering 4 out of 5 auto body shops quoted me $2800 to $4000 & the one I went with was actually rated #1 on Yelp in my area...

    That $1400 includes installing oem fogs, installing Valenti HC1, installing & color matching LED mirrors, color matching the plastic pieces behind the Toyota emblem, & color matching the oem rear bumper protector...

    I'll post pictures up if anyone's interested

    It looks dayum good. Probably the way the body stylists wanted it to look before the suits made them but little gee-gaws on it.:cool:

    Nice plate holder, I hadn't seen one of those. If I ever have to put a front plate on my Corvette I'll get one, maybe the remote controlled version.:evil:

    Yes, but keep in mind.. Mine is a 2011 but, I'm sure there's still holes behind the badges....

    Sorry for late reply. I haven't been on the forum for some time now.

    Did you have the holes filled and painted, if so did all the emblems have holes ? I'm wanting to remove mine but don't want to have holes when I'm done.
