    I just know that a lot of kids steal Honda, Mercedes, TypeR emblems, etc. I just wanted to understand whether colored Prius emblem would pique their interest too, especially given the hate out there for Priuses.

    Difference is that they're stealing full emblems. I don't think anyone is going to steal toyota ones anyway

    An easy one is to replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. If everyone did this it would make a measurable difference.

    When you shop for anything that consumes power (car, appliances, etc) look for efficient choices. Everything is labeled so you can compare.

    They wait until they get a lot of orders to place the actual order. I think they actually only purchase from Japan 3-4 times a year?

    Hey guys, what do you think of this -- if I debadge my emblems except the front and rear 'T' emblems. And then blacken out those emblems and front grill using Plastidip. And then put the red carbon fiber sticker in between the emblem(s?). Should I order red carbon fiber for the hood emblem too? I didn't at first did a rough rendition and found it looked awkwardly like a nose.

    So what do you guys think? By the way, this is not my car. It is photoshopped to look like it though.

    I think red on the gray would look absolutely money.

    Red goes well with grey for that modded look, but that's too little red. Maybe add redded out taillights and red/burgundy leather interior.

    If my car was white, itd be a no brainer. White and red go together like cherries on cheesecake. But with my dark gray car, there's just been too much doubt in my mind, hence the thread, to make me feel 100% good about this look.

    Soooo....I cancelled my Hasepro order, after all that! :( I may get the black CF instead someday, but probably not. My Hasepro order with more-japan.com wasn't moving.

    I'm trying to achieve a really clean look, hence my inclination to debadge (which I still plan to do). But in the end, the blacked out and red emblem would be taking 2 steps backwards. Thanks guys.

    My personal opinion...I don't much like red on anything. I really don't like the color red in general.

    I would go more for the dark look on yours.

    The color decision is yours to choose. It is all about you and what you are going to have to either, like, live with, or change..

    I think you should put red on the logo wheel inserts and see if that ties it all together. Red pinstripe?
