    So stealth! Would have never guessed it was a Prius.

    Clean, decluttered look.

    Might want to have left that sticker on about the catalytic converter. Taking it off is like paying for a home protection service and not putting up the little sign.

    Don’t worry, there are stickers on the front passenger and driver’s side windows.

    Maybe next to take off is the Toyota logo emblem. I believe it has two pins though so you will need a nice looking neutral cover.

    The pins are the reason I didn’t remove it. I was contemplating replacing the Toyota badges with gold badges, Lexus style.

    I wonder if the Lexus CT 200h badges would fit. Rebadge with those and it would be a fun inside joke.

    I can think of one good reason, to fool the Prius haters, of which there seem to be many.

    I’d like gold Toyota badges to be honest. Not real gold of course.

    I don't think anyone would be fooled into thinking that it's anything other than a Prius. :):)

    That’s not the point. Although, we have a lot more gen 3s and 4s here in the UK, mainly as taxis. The gen 2s are too old to be taxis here. And we rarely see gen 2s here at all.
