    Got my 2010 Prius III (R2D2) badge in the mail - trying to decide where to mount it? If your got yours, where did you put it? The letter that comes with it is pretty impressive in that it shows how much the Hybrid concept is saving the planet.

    I am still looking for a prominent flat place inside the car to display it.

    I placed it within the license plate area (to the left of the license plate to be exact).

    Reasons:
    1) Provides more protection from the sun
    2) It is the only place that automated carwashes never fully reach/clean.
    3) It is the only flat surface that will properly attach to the entire back surface of the badge. I found the rest of the panels had to much of a curve and the badge didn't fully stick to them. That would have left back areas of the badge exposed to the elements.

    I think I'll place mine to the left of the license plate also. Seems like the logical place.

    how about taping it on the inside of the vertical hatch window?

    if you don't like it there you can easily move it.

    Only the area on both side of the license plate is flat. I've stick it on the driver side. Nice looking. Other area of the car are all curved. Badge can't stick firm and easy to loosen out and lost or easily to be taken away by the walking by people.:)

    I wish I would've lied about how many miles I had on my car when I created my badge. I had so few miles that my badge just looks like it has a big white block in the middle of it with a little greyish/green smudge. Sad Panda. I will probably just put mine on one of my garage cabinets or on the owners manual. OR, I could just find a Ford Excursion out in the parking lot to put it on.

    I mounted mine on the driver's side front quarter panel under the hybrid emblem. I purposely did not center it. It better matches the curve of the wheel well and the metal is flat.

    I didn't put it on the back because the the Prius is so prone to be tail gated anyway, I didn't want to give them some thing else to be distracted by.:rolleyes:

    I like where Mark put his, but I don't like anything on the paint. Maybe I'll put it on the glass. I'm not sure. Troyroy, do you have any pictures or can you take some? Thanks!

    Surprised no one here has railed re the increased drag and weight from the badge...

    I'm guessing you had to have the car realligned because of the way the drag from the badge made it pull to the left.

    First! :)

    The filler flap has a nice shape that frames the badge well.

    You're probably a guy that also has the "PRIUS" lettering decal across the upper windshield, rally stripes, chrome exhaust tip, and a teakwood fake dash.
