    Very cool. It'd look cleaner without the "POWER ON OFF" wordings but I still like it.

    I've seen that one earlier but I think for the price, it's an overlay for the existing button so there isn't any installation needed.

    Mind you the other one I've seen comes from the Prius plug in which is blue. I was tempted to buy this one given it's a lot cheaper than the TRD one.

    Btw, the TRD one is different to the regular petrol ones as it doesn't say Engine Start Stop. They're probably the same mechanism but with a different button. Let us know what your Tom's one turns out like. I'd be interested to mod the standard Prius button and overlay the Tom's one to sell on Ebay as a complete unit if that's the case.

    ^I know you own a ZVW30 but maybe you should change your profile to 2010 Prius. Not everybody knows that the 2009 model in Australia is ZVW30.

    I was thinking the same thing. Also I would have liked a dark or brushed chrome finish and a priuschat logo would be off the chain. But still looks good in my book if you want something different from the rest.

    Agreed. Likewise, when the 2012 Prius v finally arrives, the moderators should change all the Roman numerals in our profiles to spelled out numbers to avoid similar confusion.

    You know, some say driving a Prius is like playing a video game. Someone should produce a player 1 overlay push start button! :p

    ^ that looks cheap. There are lots of higher quality TRD license plate frames if you google for them.

    Well, being a professional piano player by trade, I am unaware of his car having that....
