    So, there are so many Prius out there now, we decided that Rudy just didn't look distinctive enough.... :

    Do you find it helps alot, or little?

    These are actually vinyl stickers that we found in a funky little shop in Olympia, on their sidewalk sale.

    The bubble mirrors are a lifesaver! The way that I like the mirrors adjusted, there is just that smidgin of blindspot, and they fix that.

    Bubble mirrors... cheap ones from a discount store... um, 2 inch? Not sure.
    I think, if I were to do it again, I'd put them in the upper/inner corners, rather than the lower/outer ones.

    F8L, thanks... we like seeing people smile when we drive by! :)

    "bubble mirrors" ???

    Never heard that before. Wide angle mirrors, right?

    The mod is one of those things that looks pretty cool but I'm afraid I would not be brave enough to do that to my brand new car. Maybe in a few years.

    Beside, my wife might refuse to ride with me. Hmmmmmm....... No, never mind.

    I like it. Do they have dog paw stickers? I have a t-shirt with muddy dog paw prints that I really like.
