    Sweet, yours looks great!

    And yes Boo, you're right, there is definately a MPG hit, I've been averaging about 47 this summer, it was lower until I hit about 8,000 miles then it went up. The stock rims and Blizzaks will be on in two and a half months and I'll be interested to see what happens then MPG wise.

    As it did mine! I love this color :D -- as I said in a prior post, I had an 06 Driftwood Pearl non-touring before I got my Mag Gray and I think it's the best color available by far! It reminds me a lot of the Seal Gray Metallic I had on my beloved 2001 Boxster-S! And the addition of the sharkfin antenna, which I actually was able to install myself (I'm a total klutz) lol, makes my baby look like a shark - right color and everything! I would never have thought a Prius, which has (?had) a rather nerdy reputation, could look downright agressive, but the sharkfin adds the touch that gives it that extra dose of testosterone! On a totally other issue, I can't believe you are worrying about "only" getting 47 mpg with your 17" wheels -- the lifelong mpg on my 06 non-touring with stock wheels and tires (at 42/40 psi) was only 44, which I think is terrific, but seems to pale in comparison to most PriusChat posters. So far, I'm averaging only 37 mpg, but I only have 750 miles on it, and I recall my last Prius had about a 1000 mile breakin period before my mileage started increasing. I am quoting actual measured mileage, as opposed to what is shown on the MFD, which I find is almost always higher than my actual measured mpg by a good 2-4 mpg/s. Admittedly, my commute is rather odd, 2 days driving 110 miles each way, all freeway including going over the very steep Cajon pass on I-15, averaging about 72-77 mph and then the other 5 days is all exurban driving. Just an observation, but go Mag Gray!![attachmentid=11291]

    when I got my Phantom Gray Matrix I wasn't even considering gray, but initially, seeing as it was the only one with available options I wanted I decided to spring for it. had tC rims on it too (this was by far my most favorite pic) but sold them... debating whether to get them again since many here have already played that card...

    [/color]I'm in, even though I don't have the car yet. I wanted the Mag Gray Touring Prius with Pkg #3 and to get it in CA you have to order it from Japan. Takes 90-100 days. Doesn't cost anymore, just takes time. :( I guess the first things I will get for it are the front/back heat shield sunscreens, the clear mats to go over the carpeted ones, side moldings, and mud guards. It comes with the rear bumper guard. Hopefully I will win the lottery so I can get more.


    I LOVE that Sunroof. Was it expensive. I have to have one.

    Oh yeah forgot, gotta get the windows tinted and get sheepskin seat covers. Since it might be 4 months until I get the car, I guess I can start buying things for it now. MAG GRAY ROCKS!!!!!
