Jessica Alba in her Prius

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Charles Suitt @ May 24 2007, 10:47 AM) [snapback]449072[/snapback]</div>

A horrible actress who contributes nothing but gossip to 40 and younger women, and wet dreams for men over 15. Personally, I'm not into the fish face look.

I like her color choice!

Only if you don't think like a normal person.

Why not? Why remove the dealership crap and leave the Toyota crap?

Here's mine about a day after it came home.


Doesn't look too bad for not having a hot babe in it.

 

I kept the Prius emblem on mine though.
Just in case some Texan wanted to know:

What the heck is that thang?

:lol:

I had never thought of removing the maker's emblems. However whenever I see cars from other states with the dealer emblems I've always wondered if you get a kick-back for that?

 

I guess I just don't keep up on the "Celebrity of the week". I have heard of Paris Hilton and Brittany Whatever, so I'm not totally out of it.

I think the hot babe came with option package #11 in 2006. Not available in all regions.

I could'a sworn it was option 69 :lol:

Figures. I suppose I would have had to take the leather and GPS. Not worth it at my age.

 

Wow, she has the exact same prius as me... sweet. same color and dark window tint. I wonder if she has it "illegally" in the front like mine.

And how do I take the emblems off??

I am curious too.... do tell.

 

The only way I've ever heard of is to use a little dental floss to gently separate the adhesive from the paint. That works best on a warm day or after getting it warm with a hair dryer. DO NOT use a heat gun...unnecessary and I don't think the paint will like it.

 

I simply pried them off with my fingers. Slowly and patiently working my way around the top then bottom. Took about a minute each.

(Make sure you don't have long fingernails though)

 

did the paint underneath need a wax? how did it look once the emblems were taken off?

 

I never use the floss method. What a PITA. Yes, it gets them off, and then you have to deal with all the stickup. Heat and patience. Also the proper prying tool. I use a wooden pop stick, carved flat like a shovel. Heat the area (using the summer sun works great if you live where it gets real hot), and slowly pry away at the thing. I use a heat gun. You just have to use it wisely. I've removed hundreds of emblems and have never harmed the paint. When you are done, always follow up with a bit of wax or sealant, and you'll never know anything was there. If some residue remains (before the waxying!) use a bit of WD-40 to disolve the stickum, and wipe with a rag until it is all gone. THEN wash, wax, and you're good to go.

Now that I've typed all that, I remember that I wrote down my method last year when I was asked so many times! It is on this page:

Umm..I know who Paris Hilton is... I wish that I didnt know who she is... But Im 24 and entering my senior year of undergraduate study so I would like to think that I am neither too young or too old... am I??

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(The Annoying One @ May 24 2007, 11:43 AM) [snapback]449068[/snapback]</div>

Does 24 fall into either of these categories???

Maybe you're not too young or too old. Perhaps your taste is too good.

The only thing I see that she has going for her is her money. If age has anything to do with it, I'm too old. But if I were 24, I'd still consider her "blah".
