    I'm getting a third brakelight cover/decal, but don't want it to just say "HYBRID" ... anyone got any cute (not rude or insulting) ideas???

    You did read this last FAQ, yes?


    And if you were planning on getting 20 of them, I want one. ;)

    Works for me. I have one that promotes the Prius Club of San Diego, but I haven't put it on.

    Well, I'm confused.... The product description says:
    You can peronalize your Third Brake Light with any word or logo (If I have it or if you provide it) But I need to know what you want written on there before you bid.

    Yup. But it doesn't say here how many you need to order for the personalization. I agree about the feedback! You can have custom stickers made at lots of places.

    It's to flash a message to the driver behind you. It's like a bumpersticker, but more visable. Maybe it should have the word STOP like some of the early cars did on their brake lights. :)

    I like the priuschat.com idea... of course, "Tailgate me and I'll zap you" is fun too.

    Just a word of caution from Lawsuit Land: partially covering a brake light could provide justification by the guy who rear-ends you (or his insurance company) to place at least partial legal responsibility on you. He can claim he was visually confused by the obscured factory-installed brake lamp, causing reaction delay and the accident. Since you made the mod, you might be held at least partially liable.

    I thought of that myself, yet I see Dodge trucks where the main brake lights sport the ram logo. And they aren't the only ones that have made such a mod to the main brake lights. For myself, I don't want to block any of them (except making one say STOP).
