    I love it. Hopefully the stickers don't weather and start to crack and peal though.

    Will the stickers create different paint-fade shadows over time, esp on White color?

    I love your car! What a way to stand out, AND being able to find your car in the parking lot among all the other Prii.

    They are called convex mirrors here.

    Did you use touch-up paint to fix paint chips before applying the vinyl spots? Often these vinyl stickers wont keep a spot from rusting.
    Totally reversable, vinyl peals right off with a little warmth and some mild solvent

    Hey the car looks great and a couple of black spotted white tee shirts for the people in it to wear on weekends would make it awsome.

    That's a nice look, guys. Vinyl's a nice way to go for anyone who wants to try these things out but doesn't want to commit to a custom paint job: It's not too expensive and it comes right off. If you're worried about fade, just get new graphics annually, and you'll have the bonus of having a new look once in a while too. :)

    All they do is enter the car wash and voila!, New Look.
    Since the car wash rearranged the stickers.
    :D

    This are a bit more clingy, more like bumperstickers.

    I do think that we will remove these before a year has passed, and maybe do something else. I don't want to leave the same stickers on longer than that, just in case of fade (does white fade? what does white fade to? whiter?)

    This was a low-cost alternative to having the car custom painted in tie-dye (when we win the Lotto)... total cost, about $12 and 2 hours of our time.

    I don't think they will fade, but they will just be a slight difference. Maybe because of less abrasion and exposure or whatever. Should be suddle. If you take them off within a year, then it shouldn't even be an issue. I absolutely love it. I think it looks excellent.
