    I saw this 2006 parked at Sandy Beach near Honolulu yesterday. I chatted with the owner who said that the depicted fauna were all local species. Pretty cool.

    That's nice Pat thanks. Glad to see you made it back home! I have not seen that car yet but now I have to be on the lookout. Did you tell the owner about PC?

    Thanks, I did not mention PC. She expressed concern about the traction battery ending up in a landfill so I spent my time telling her that 1) this is an issue only if the traction battery fails, and 2) Toyota has a battery recycle program, so no worries.

    Did they paint on it directly, or it is a transparent printout?
    From the door handle, it looks like direct paint.

    3) It's almost pure nickel which will cause 0 problems (unlike lead).

    I am going to speculate that it was airbrushed on by one of our local airbrush shops. There might be a signature or company name somewhere in the murals if you look hard enough.

    Upon further review I located the signature on the left rear door below the turtles tail it says,
    -COSMIC- which is short for Cosmic Airbrush.
