    Nice! I'm getting custom plates too, but not specific enough to the car. They have a reference to my last name.

    That is perfect.

    Happy for you that the sticker reads Jan instead of Feb, too!

    Why Is January better? Longer month to pay?

    Of course-- especially with the the black color and the special Touring rear Facia.

    In Massachusetts cool is defined by some drivers as having a low digit plate. Used to be you had to be connected to get one, but now they have an annual lottery. Most Prius drivers have more sense than waste a postage stamp, but I will try to again next August to get 4 random digits.

    This is what I had on my Sonata Hybrid as well as TDI's. Someone complained about it though and it got revoked, didn't have a sense of humor. Would be perfect for Prius.

    Congrats. Looks good. Still pondering painting the text white? Can you get Blizzard Pearl touch up paint?

    I have plans to mask the black areas and spray the yellow letters with white plasti-dipped pearl. Still considering...

    It looks great as is-- better to keep it 100% legal, IMHO.

    It could be interesting to see the plate frame in Pearl. Nothing wrong with the black just an unconventional thought to center the blackness.

    If you keep the black frame (which is probably best), you could put some electrical tape behind the plate over the unused mounting holes at the bottom to keep the white dots from showing through.

    Exactly. So when someone asks you, "what does that mean?", things can get interesting.

    I'm surprised it got past the censors, but it was 50 years ago.

    I also liked "WZNTME" - on a fast motorcycle, and "YUDLUZ" on a jacked-up Chevy II with skinny tires in front, wide slicks in back, and an air scoop on the hood. Some states (like CT) limit personalized plates to 6 letters, which makes it difficult.

    A Catholic priest living in our complex bought a Prius, and I suggested he get "PRAYUS".
