There are so many Prii in this area that my wife came out of a store a few days after we got our car to see one of the same color with the side smashed in and nearly had a heart attack. Has anyone seen any custom striping or other ways of distinguishing the Prius? We have never had a car where there were so many similar ones. We love the car but would like a little bit of distinction.
Custom striping? Go to a sign shop or any auto custom shop. Indulge yourself. I have no regrets for going all out. Of course I am old enough not to give a $#!+ what anyone else thinks. For the more conservative there are some nice decals in the PriusChat store.
Rip off the wheel trims and put some side mouldings and a shark fin from the PC shop (top left of page) on and you have a look very few others will have. Or you could do it out to look like the USS Enterprise. I have mud flaps, side mouldings, shark fin, trim rings off and a rear bumper protector and I guarantee there isn't another silver Prius within 500 miles that looks the same. Oh and I have a white mouse on the dash, every computer needs a mouse.
If I can't get the color I want (and even if I do eventually) I plan on having it painted purple! Especially when hearing about how bad the factory paint can be! =)

Sounds like the other owner found a way of customizing his/her Prius. :madgrin: All you need to do is go out and run into a fence / post or something and VIOLA -- instant customization!ound: Sorry, couldn't help it. :embarassed:
