    I bought a new 2012 leftover Prius 2 in Blizzard White and then discovered that I see me coming and going all the time, bummer, so off to the paint shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A few days later, some "type R" emblems and took off the cheap tinny hubcaps, got some Chinese center caps and wa-la, instant different. What do you think guys?

    Very interesting. Is it gray or silver? I think I would have left a red strip at the bottom. But I really like it the way it is. It's so different. Nice job.

    It really does look nice! Whoever painted it did a great job too, price was very reasonable. I bet it turns some heads!

    Type R...not so much. The rest is (y). Two-tone looks great, and nice color choice!!

    Looks outstanding. What significance do the Type R emblems have? I like them.

    What make this car a Type -r? if your going to take badge from another make why not go with M, AMG or F-Sport(most logical since its Toyota)? Nice job on the 2 tone paint.

    Just window dressing and keeps people guessing about what it is! Of course rear swaybar, tower brace, and underchassis stiffners might help too.
