    Is that spray paint?

    Also, is it easy to fix it if the paint chips or scratches?

    I'm getting a Red IV, so I'm thinking of painting them red!

    Great - first pictures I've seen of black with the solar roof. You're going to have fun keeping that car as shiny and beautiful as it is now!

    Your profile says Gaithersburg -- is that Gaithersburg MD?? Where did you buy your car?

    I saw you entered your package level in the poll (but didn't put in the color) -- please also add a reply in the thread.

    Yes, it's spray paint that is made especially for bonding to plastic surfaces. It's only been 5 days since I did it, and no chips of scratches yet, but not sure how it will hold up. Besides, if it does get scratched or chipped, I'll just spray it again! :)

    I thought exactly the opposite, amazed at how different they look when next to each other like that.

    Window shape is pretty much the only similarity. Both head & tail lights are a dead giveaway to the hybrid's identity.

    Here are pics of my new baby! Red II , dark gray interior, with port installed bluetooth. Funny story - I had ordered a III, and had it negotiated. When I showed up to pick it up, this is what they had... I was a bit miffed, but the only difference is the 6-CD change, the extra speakers, and the XM radio. I didn't really care about any of those things. I got them to knock off a little more from the price, and I drove away happy. Here's to getting your car on the last day of the month!!! Lots of power to the buyer.

    I have been very pleased with the quality of the bluetooth. People say it is a little difficult to hear me, but I'll see if I can adjust that. I hear people very loudly and clearly. I don't mind the location of the buttons at all.

    Also, I specifically took a pic of the instructions card that was hanging off of the wiper control when I got the car. It's perfect for valets or anything! I'll be keeping it handy when I have to entrust my car to anyone else.

    Thanks to everyone on PC for helping this newbie figure out what is what!

    Congrats! I haven't seen that color combo before. I think all I have seen pictures of are the Red with Bisque interior. Thanks for posting!

    Yeah, my original pick was Red with Bisque, but I actually like this better. It is easier to keep looking clean, and the contrast is really nice. I'm very happy!

    Well, after waiting with me since we both placed our 'orders' last September my Dads car finally came in today!

    He had ordered a Prius II with Dark Gray interior. They got him in a Prius III same interior/exterior color choices but didn't realise he wanted a II :)rolleyes:) but once there he was actually happy and said I was right he should have gotten the III lol. He said after hearing my JBL stereo and seeing me use the blluetooth that he may actually have to enter the 21st Century! :D

    So here's two pics of mine (Blizz Pearl) and his (Black) next to each other (albeit crappy off a cell phone).

    Haha, you betcha! I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if that beautiful black gets swirl marks and such all over it... Honestly the Prius is so easy to wash imo, I'll be doing his each weekend right after I do mine. Once the hose is out etc, it'll just take an extra 15 minutes. He's right next door...
