    With side moldings and decals

    Without plastic wheel covers, I kinda like the look of the alloys, but the jury is still out!

    Any opinions?

    Yea, ordered 'em from my local dealer, don't remember the P/N though... I did get it (P/N) after searching this forum! They are actually for an earlier year Prius, but they fit perfectly on the 07' hubs.

    Whoa... Thanks for posting your pic Dano!!! I have a Mag Gray Touring (9 days old), and I've been considering removing the plastic covers. Now I'm convinced! Pretty neat picture of your Mag Gray car! The alloy colors match the Mag Gray!

    I've ordered my center caps, side moldings, and the back bumper loading protector. I'm scared of attaching the side molding though... is it easy to DIY or did you have someone do it for you? I'm scared of not putting them on straight.

    Haha... Thanks again.

    [attachmentid=10768]Looks nice. I like it also without the covers. I will try to post a pic of my Prius. What I did was I painted the cover with the body color. See what other Prius owners think. :)

    Nice on the photo optimization and your Prius looks great! I think I'll pull the rings from my winter set.

    Also, the body color rings looks nice too - kinda factory racer.

    Love it! The extended spoiler is noticeable from the angle of the picture.

    The DYI of the molding was no big deal. If you do a search you will find many suggestions beyond the supplied instructions. I used the masking tape magnet method. Maybe someone remembers where it is posted and can supply the link to you.

    Just remember "measure twice and apply once" and you will be fine! There are many who have paid a body shop to apply them with superb to less than stellar results, your call!

    Have fun, and welcome to the Mag Grey club!!!!

    Here's another pic from a different angle....

    Errel- I really like that treatment of the trim rings. I can't exactly do the same thing with a silver car but I'm thinking it might look interesting done in black? could have sworn somebody posted a photoshop of that recently...

    I bet it would look cool with the blue part being black, making it more of a spoked look.
