    Got a question for you all my Blizzard brothers and sisters. Last time I washed my car I noticed what appears to be a factory paint protection film on the front end of my car. If I look at the back rear corner of the bumper cover just below the quarter panel in wheel well area I can see it. Then if I follow the edge of the bumper panel I can continue to see the edge of the film. Has anyone else noticed this at all?


    Aloha,

    ED

    I know you're trying to list the Caucasian Priuses from the members in this thread but there are 460 verified members here. You gotta scroll down a bit to see it. PriusChat Forums - View Poll Results

    Glenn Close never said that in Devil Wears Prada. In fact she never was the Devil. That title goes to Meryl Streep..... Ohh wait She was Cruella de Vil, nevermind.

    Wow 460! But I am not one of those polled I have a 2011 so I did not participate in the 2010 poll. 14 is a far cry from 460 plus.

    Hmmm...I haven't noticed. Is it the same kind of stuff that's also on the lower side rocker panel....below the passenger doors? Maybe it's just protective film from shipment.

    Maybe we should put a poll in this thread, so active posters can heed the roll call...:D

    Ed, important...please do not pull of the protective film. It's purpose is to keep your car from turning Barcelona Red! :D

    Are you sure that it's not a mold line in the bumper itself?

    I am not too surprised we are the top color in the poll. I don't see many Blizzard Pearls in New England. But when I visited Phoenix, they were all over, with solar roofs. Giving new meaning to "cool car"

    Mine looks just like the picture posted by DanVee. I have been out attacking the silver squadron. We hate those guys. ;-)

    Seriously though, white is the least likely color of car to be struck by another vehicle, but a factor of 8x. So there you go. Black, silver and gray blend into the dusk, so don't forget your headlights, folks.

    Was the attack sanctioned by the Central Committee? :eek:

    We can't be going all renegade. Must carefully plan......... :D

    I wasn't aware of that statistic, but it makes some sense.

    Odd thing is that the Classic Silver is so light that, in certain lighting conditions, it looks like BP....I've made that mistake a couple of times after just a quick glance.
