    I still feel stupid, but not quite so stupid.

    1. I think they look great!

    2. I don't think they flow well with the car and the trek theme.

    3. I still think they look great!

    Cant wait to see it at Hybridfest!

    I uploaded high res versions here and here. I will need to rephoto the key pad on S/42 to show all the details. Later.

    I also created some magnets for car shows:

    Very nice indeed.

    When I go to unload my Star Trek stuff, I'll post a link to the eBay auctions.

    Naaahh. Just bring it to HybridFest, and give it all to me. No charge for hauling all that junk away.

    Actually, I agree with you. Something is not quite right. They are a bit too big, and the color is too dark. I think the doors should be the same color as the Prius.

    Or maybe I should just put them up on the roof. Lots of empty real estate there.

    I think your next mod should be to de-badge the toyota logo with perhaps a metallic star trek logo...

    The first thing I thought when I saw the photo, was A - Very Cool, but B - They should be just a little smaller. They do seem to be just a little out of scale with the car. I am guessing they are about 10 X 10 or so .... maybe drop down to 8 X 8?

    And yes a White background would blend them into the body!

    But hey, like I said, Well Done!!!!

    Perhaps the dylithium crystals aren't delivering enough power to the hollo-deck, as your immages are unavailable. (broken link?)

    They're 8x8. I chose that to match the *x8 "Fuel Economy Test/Please Pass" signs that they are interchangable with. I'm gonna think about it for a while before I make a change.
