Finally, pics of my '08 Touring Prii

Hey!
Yours is just like ours and we got ours the same day! Well, I guess that's not entirely true..We got it on paper that day so we could get the tiny tax benefit. The dealer actually processed the paperwork that day and we picked it up the following Monday..
Don't you love it? That was way more red than I expected but sure like it. So far we too have put the rubber mats in, and disabled the back up beep and seat belt beep (almost two miles from the mailbox to the house)
We also have the side moldings which we haven't put on yet and got the center caps and removed the silver hubcaps..The gray metallic wheels look neat against the red! Oh and you have to try the RejeX wax someone mentioned on here..That stuff is AMAZING! So easy to put on and the bugs practically wipe off and it's made here in Texas I think.
This is our first Prius and love it..
Oh we also put sheepskin seatcovers on the front seats. We had them custom made for the 2005.5 Jetta we sold and they were new in June. I called the company and asked them if they could be altered to fit the Prius..Of course they told me "no, unfortunately the Prius seats are larger, you might sell them with the car and buy new ones" so we set out to sell them with the car. Lucky for us the guy didn't want them so we tried them..They fit just as well in the Prius as they did in the Jetta..Sure are comfy!

Good luck and enjoy!

For some reason, I thought that I saw a Touring badge on the back of the hatch where the word Toyota is placed for the Touring models. Does anyone know if that is just a badge that is aftermarket?

No..It doesn't come with one. You can order one but it is for the Avalon..I actually have one on mine. I put it in the suggested location, upper right corner of the rear hatch..Looks cool! I paid 18.00 for the emblem..

Hey, you know you can put a carriage-return between your photos, and they won't make us scroll sideways

You have to scroll sideways? That's strange..They appear vertical to me..Maybe cause I use a mac?
I almost reposted the pictures in my reply till I realized you have to take out the attachments.

Red Baron. I like it.

So where are the Maltese crosses? Have the courage of your convictions and finish the job!!

Nice ride.

 

Congratulations on your new 2008 Prius in Barcelona Red....almost as cool as the Spectra Blue Beautiful pictures of your car. We are having fun in our new car too. It's addictive keeping an eye on the MFD screen!!!

Yep. On Windows, they appear sideways unless the poster puts a carriage break/enter break between the pictures. But I wonder whether the carriage break would be necessary if the original poster used a Mac.

Got to try that Rejex you highly recommended. I read a lot about it. Tried unsuccessfully to get it from a couple of Tru Value hardware stores. Guess I'll have to get it online instead.

Maybe it's firefox..I use FF on my Mac too..Works just fine..Gonna go over and try Safari and see what it does:
Hmm. Works the same on Safari...

Hi Boo..
I got mine online from the company:

Got it really fast but Ft Worth is only a couple of hundred miles from me!

Hmmm. Maybe it's Windows Vista and/or running Internet Explorer.

Either way, picture posters can save others from having to scroll sideways by just putting carriage/enter breaks between pictures.

Must be IE. My Windows XP w/IE shows them sideways, but with FF they're vertical. Also, lately, with IE I have to double click the go back arrow when in a thread to get back to the list of threads, only with PriusChat. But with FF, one click works. I thought maybe it was a problem started from the site going down because my other forums still work with one click. Now don't know what it is.

BOT, nice pictures Sliderule. I still like the red, would do it again.

 

Thanks! Can you advise as to where to order the badge? I am guessing just online at a Toyota parts supplier?

You'll love it..I took a damp paper towel this morning to wipe the bugs off my front bumper..Was great to not have to scrub them off..Will help until I can afford to do the clear protection film..

Looks identical to my 2006 Canadian Prius B-Package.
What are the differences?

The PriusChat.com stickers are also missing
