    I think I am going to put it inside near the bottom of the windshield. I won't have to worry about the weather, especially the snow shovel.

    Got mine in the mail. I'll agree that the envelope was a bit mysterious. Only one label w/ my address and a matching unique identifier to go with the badge label. No return address even!

    Sticker arrived here - dissapointed no badge, but would not have adhered it to mine anyway.

    Forget... how many badges (first to apply...) were made before stickers =was it 100 or 1,000.

    On second thought I may see how it looks on the inside of the left rear pass small C pillar window - won't block visibility. If not hokey, I would place it on the inside, with clear wide packing tape sticking it on like a decal... Anyone done that yet? pics?

    received mine. its an emblem and it will be preserved along side my Toyota issued and licensed 2004 Tidelands Pearl Prius scale model. since the emblem is limited, it may have collector value in a few decades.

    mine IS "numbered"

    91289568655963e699253906f0b9363b5... now would this be unique?

    the interesting part is the lines are raised. not a screen print

    now to keep it away from the kid!

    I have received mine also it is not very full though compared to other I have seen. I recon it's okay it is my first Prius and at the time of entering my data I did not have that many miles.

    Is anyone going to install the badge on there car, if so where?

    I put mine on the rear of the Prius, just under and slightly left of the Prius badge, positioned like the HSD badge is, to that it looks balanced.

    I'll take a photo this evening and post it.

    Got my badge yesterday. But I'm not going to mount it. The white background will surely turn yellow in the sun.

    Not necessarily. I am pretty sure they intended for people to put the badges on their cars. It looks pretty well made and there appears to be a fairly thick acrylic coating over the white part.

    Ah! Got my badge yesterday. I don't have a cat so not sure where I'll mount it...
    Actually, I might just wait and put it on the PHEV when it arrives.
