    I was digging around a Japanese news site the other day and found some photos from Japan's media preview event for the 2010 Prius. Within those photos I found the 2 images below showing some chrome trim on a black 2010. I think it looks pretty good!

    Yea, looks good on black. I wonder how it will be on the Blue Metallic.

    I'll pass. Bumper finders affect Cd (then again, so does not waxing your car). Chrome may appeal to some, but too much glare in the bright sun.

    Thanks for this info!
    Do you think the chrome door handles (like on the new Venza with the 'sensor' area instead of the black button) would be available for the '10 Prius? Would they need to be factory ordered, or could you get them installed/replaced at the dealer? Any idea on their cost?
    I'm planning on the Blizzard Pearl and think some of these chrome accents will dress the car up nicely.

    I'd be interested in seeing a photo of someone who gets these. I'm not into flashy chrome, but would be curious to see how they look on the Blizzard, espeically one w/ a moonroof (which already has a black roof on "white" paint).

    I wonder if those things are chromed metal or chromed plastic. Probably plastic.
