    Thanks guys.... Will stay around and will get around to posting some pics maybe next week.

    Rebound, so far enjoying the 50mpg. Two highway trips and the computer said about 52mpg. And my first commute home (10 mile trip on back roads) late at night the computer said 58mpg! Going to love driving more now that I don't have to worry about 20-28mpg from my old 2003 Baja.

    By the way, Prius II is the Prius of choice for audio aficionados. It's very easy to upgrade to a double-DIN navigation unit. You can read about the results of many owners in the Audio and Electronics section. If you do it yourself, be sure to download Spiderman's guide that's in the Sticky post at the top of that sub-forum.

    So far very happy with the head unit for my tastes. Loving the BT pairing to my iPhone 4. Auto startup of my tunes as I start up the car.

    It was two weeks ago today that I picked up The Grey Ghost. Cleaned her up yesterday for the photo shoot. Here are some of the results.

    Will post some after the lower chrome molding and the window tinting in the next few weeks.

    Looking good. :thumb:

    Those 2012 wheel covers are so much better looking than the 2010/2011 15" wheel covers.

    Yep, I agree. Looks just as good as factory 17s except in the 15" size.

    Was at first disappointed with the black alloy wheels on the 2012, since I had planned on getting rid of the wheel covers if I had gotten a 2011. Now I thinking that they are good way to avoid curb accidents with unprotected wheels.
