    I cant decide if I should remove the HSD badge on the back or not. I need some opinions as to if it looks silly all alone :lol:

    It does not look silly! I have one on the back of my Prius.

    If you take it off, then you have nothing to do with it, unless you want to stick it on your forehead.

    Bill has one on his forehead, but I think he sold the space there on eBay, and Toyota was the highest bider. I don't think they will buy another forehead.

    I actually put the "Prius" one on the upper glove compartment, I'm loving it there, though the S is bent up a bit :D a little too much bending to get it off & I stuck the "Toyota" to my garage stereo, along w/ the old Mustang sticker

    I took "TOYOTA" off the back of mine, because I thought it was too chunky looking for the shape of the Prius... I left "PRIUS" and all of the HSD emblems on for now though. Maybe I'll change my mind later.

    As for yours, since you've gone that far, you might as well go all the way, right? Stick that HSD emblem on your lawnmower or your dog, or somewhere else ironic ;)

    Take it off. You, and the rest of the free world, know it is a hybrid right? I took all mine off the day I bought the car. Much easier to wash and wax with out the emblems. Cleaner look too.

    You ruined the sleakness of your interior by placing that log on the black plastic door that was meant to look minimalist.


    ???? Why not take the dealer advertising off and leave the car logos alone?

    I guess I am not understanding this - but I hate decals and bumber stickers too.

    I took off the badges because they are a PITA to wax around.

    I would go for all or none on logos. They are hard to wax around.

    As soon as I got my Prii, I removed the dealer frames and took them back to recycle. They were surprised; no one ever did that before.

    I say leave it on, looks good that way I think. I ended up leaving mine on.

    I bought my Prius at Big Two also. Although I did take off their vinyl badge and license plate frame. <_<

    Take it off, take it all off...

    I left the front fender emblems since I hear there's a hole under them and I don't feel like installing side marker lights. PITA to polish around and keep clean, though. I'd rather have HSD on the brain than the car. Who doesn't know, just from the shape, that this isn't a Toyota Prius Hybrid?

    I'll keep my eyes out for you around town, I keep seeing TONS of prius, but hardly any black ones. The Vinyl badging was the 1st to go! I told them not even to put it on, but they didn't listen.
    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bill Merchant @ Jun 23 2007, 10:31 PM) [snapback]467145[/snapback]</div>
    Yea I left the front ones on because I heard about the hole as well. Bill, I do like where you've stuck yours... But I'm not attaching mine to my head, it would hinder the use of my camera. bonking my HSD against the back. Not good

    I've got mine and I'm keeping them right where they are. First, there are plenty of people who still don't know what a Prius is. Second, I'm not going to deal with which ones might or might not have holes underneath or what damage I might do trying to get them off.

    But I do agree to lose that license plate frame. That has GOT to go.

    I have a nice "Prius" frame on the front from Toyota. On the back I have a nice chrome frame from eBay that says "Hybrid"....just in case people don't get it. Of course I also have decals on the back and front that say "Gas Electric Hybrid". And still people ask me.......

    It IS centered!! :)

    Not my fault that the console between the seats doesn't align with the radio console in the dash! I wonder if the 07's larger width is the culprit for that...
