    I got a sticker. :(

    I wish Toyota would have an option to buy a badge because I would buy one.

    Since mine is a sticker I'm not going to put it on the car. I'm just going to keep it in my Prius stuff collection. Plus it does not look like it would weather well.

    I think I might place the badge on my first born son, he's very loyal to our Prius. I wonder if it'll survive bath time.

    I got my badge today. I'm really surprised because I didn't think I was fast enough. I thought that the packaging was pretty strange because it was in a plain white padded envelope with no return address and a really long string of characters on the address label.

    Unibomber packaging. Grrreeeaaaat....

    All you East coast people off of work checking your mailboxes. ARGH! Couple more hours here. It'd be funny if I got the sticker, not the badge. Bet a lot of you would be happy given that I'll probably take it out of the envelope and never look at it again. :p

    Just got mine today. The envelope was really sketchy. Haha. Anyway, here are some pictures. Any ideas if I should mount this somewhere?

    There is an adhesive tape on the back you can remove to mount it. Not sure where to put it...

    I got mine and I finally found the place where it will be installed. I took into consideration the rare occasion when I do go thru a cashwash; I also took the sun into consideration (long term damage/fade). I decided the best place for me would be to the left of my license plate. This is also a good place since it is the only part of the hatch that has a truly flat surface.

    Reasons:
    1) The license plate area is truly flat
    2) It is the most shaded area of the exterior and it reduces the badge's exposure to the Texas sun.
    3) it is the one area, no cash wash has ever managed to clean! (at least the ones with the brushes)

    MIne just arrived... I thought it would never come!
    Thanks for the ideas about where to mount it... wondering if it can be removed and put on the next one?
    will it be a target for collectors? maybe I should just frame it?

    Got my badge today also. They did a nice job with it, IMHO. Haven't decided where or if I will mount it on the car. The area to the left of the plate sounds good. I have an idea nobody will pay much attention, however.

    It has double-sided foam tape, so you should be able to easily remove it by using a piece of dental floss to saw through the foam, and replace the double-sided foam tape to reapply elsewhere.

    Received mine today, but I normally don't like sticking things on my cars, so I guess it goes in the glove box for now...

    It is quite nice, however...

    Got mine! Okay, I'm silly enough to mount mine on the back of the car... I think I'll put it under the Prius emblem.

    Look, I have emblem # 75! :)

    Wow, got mine today... Alaska never gets anything before anyone else. :)

    It was a bit uncomfortable in my wallet so I guess I will mount it on the car.
