    I don't understand why they called it a "badge". A true badge would have been better. Hopefully we can find a place to put this.

    Car is at the body shop right now. Got side swiped in front of my house. Let me tell you how happy I am about that. Figured while it was there, it's time to do the '12-'13 front end conversion. It's not cheap, especially because mine is a package five but it's gonna look so good when she comes back home!! Will post pics when it's all done.

    I installed clear bra material below the rear hatchback opening to protect against damage as things are stuffed into/dragged out of the back. I wanted a clear material, not the factory one with "Prius" on it, and couldn't find a pre-cut piece on EBay or Amazon or elsewhere. I ordered a 24" x 30" piece from RVinyl.com for $14.

    Procedure (There are probably easier/faster ways, but this was very step-by-step):
    Step 0: Liberally cleaned the bumper area with Mother's Showtime detailing spray.
    Step 1: Covered the area I wanted to protect with 4 layers of blue painters tape.
    Step 2: Using a long plastic ruler and the creases of the bumper, I marked the tape with a pen to outline the actual final shape of the protection.
    Step 3: Transferred the blue tape piece to a large piece of leftover cardboard, and then cut that out on the line lines I drew to make the template. If you only use 1 layer of blue tape, it will change shape and likely tear hence my 4 layers.
    Step 4: Placed the template over the bumper to check for fit. Since I actually wrapped it down the ~45 degree section as well, just not on the vertical, I couldn't test fit this part but trusted my tape job.
    Step 5: Then placed the template over the clear bra material and used a exacto knife to cut out the material.
    Step 6: Using a 25% IPA solution / 75% water, I sprayed my hands to get off dirt and grime (Don't forget this or you'll put finger prints on the adhesive of the clear film)
    Step 7: Using a 25% IPA solution / 75% water, I sprayed the bumper in the area I will apply. Check again for particles that may have settled in the area. Once it looks perfect, move to Step 8.
    Step 8: Peel the backing off the film.
    Step 9: Apply film to bumper and work out the bubbles. The solution on the bumper will allow you to maneuver the piece / slide / etc until you get it right.
    Step 10: Stop. It's good enough. Run away. Do not touch again - it will only get worse.

    It's actually very easy to shift and comfortable. Imagine holding your phone in your hand and sliding it where it needs to go.
