    What do you all think of this decal? Would you buy one if the price was right?

    perhaps for a few dollars? 2-3... but then I probably wouldn't buy it if it were too large.. Then it's just gaudy.

    ...and the color. Will it come in colors?

    Oh, and if I drove a plug-in hybrid...

    I hate bumperstickers and decals...so ignore my opinion. Seriously.

    But I think most people that want to "advertise" their Eco friendliness? Want to avoid the word "Gas" and your decal starts with the term "Gas" in bold letters.

    I'd make one that say's "Rolling "Zap" Trap!".....

    My opinion? What is the point of this decal? "Look at me!" "I am really ecologically conscious as opposed to all these dullards?"

    No, thanks.

    For the size I was thinking about 11 to 12 inches. Colors? Umm, just was thinking of these for now. If I decide to sell them, then I would make other options. As for price, I don't know yet. Just throwing some ideas around. Here are two pictures with the decal on them. Sorry about the quality, but hopefully you will get a better idea...

    There wasn't a plug-in option in 2010, right?
    Might as well put another sticker on there that says "WarrantyVoid"

    But seriously, it looks good. If it's something you want to advertise, then go for it!

    Hate decals. Just one question coming up in my mind: Why?

    1) You need to study up on your warranty laws.

    2) The Prius Plugins are already available in certain areas.

    3):focus:

    Well, I guess it is a bit of an over kill. Maybe one that just says:

    "Plug-inHybrid" or "PHEV"

    I do want to keep it a little subtle. Maybe add it to the existing badging in small letters.

    Anyways, thank you all for your inputs. This is all I needed.

    I like the decal that Toyota puts on the back of the Prius, "Hybrid Synergy Drive" and the decals on each front fender side, "Hybrid" Another decal seems to be redundant unless you remove the originals.

    I don't put extra decals on my cars unless for parking or admittance.

    I used to like the ones that had the Intel branding, but had "Satan Inside" or "Big Brother Inside" instead of the "Intel Inside" slogan. Maybe something similar that said "Lithium Inside" or "LiFePO4 inside" (geeky :mod: ), etc.?

    You could also simply have something like "PHEV - 65mpg", etc..

    And I don't think it is superficial or arrogant to have something simple that defines your vehicle as "plug-in". It is more of an positive advocacy thing IMO.
