Sweet, yours looks great! And yes Boo, you're right, there is definately a MPG hit, I've been averaging about 47 this summer, it was lower until I hit about 8,000 miles then it went up. The stock rims and Blizzaks will be on in two and a half months and I'll be interested to see what happens then MPG wise.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(mtm @ Aug 28 2007, 05:14 PM) [snapback]503510[/snapback]</div> As it did mine! I love this color -- as I said in a prior post, I had an 06 Driftwood Pearl non-touring before I got my Mag Gray and I think it's the best color available by far! It reminds me a lot of the Seal Gray Metallic I had on my beloved 2001 Boxster-S! And the addition of the sharkfin antenna, which I actually was able to install myself (I'm a total klutz) lol, makes my baby look like a shark - right color and everything! I would never have thought a Prius, which has (?had) a rather nerdy reputation, could look downright agressive, but the sharkfin adds the touch that gives it that extra dose of testosterone! On a totally other issue, I can't believe you are worrying about "only" getting 47 mpg with your 17" wheels -- the lifelong mpg on my 06 non-touring with stock wheels and tires (at 42/40 psi) was only 44, which I think is terrific, but seems to pale in comparison to most PriusChat posters. So far, I'm averaging only 37 mpg, but I only have 750 miles on it, and I recall my last Prius had about a 1000 mile breakin period before my mileage started increasing. I am quoting actual measured mileage, as opposed to what is shown on the MFD, which I find is almost always higher than my actual measured mpg by a good 2-4 mpg/s. Admittedly, my commute is rather odd, 2 days driving 110 miles each way, all freeway including going over the very steep Cajon pass on I-15, averaging about 72-77 mph and then the other 5 days is all exurban driving. Just an observation, but go Mag Gray!![attachmentid=11291]
So, do I have the first 2008 in the mag gray club? Touring package 6. Picked it up yesterday. Tim Chicago
And a big warm welcome to all the new members. There's punch and muffins on the back table, feel free to help yourself.

Sign me Up! Just got my 2008 Package 2 on Monday night. Love how sleek and sexy the Mag Gray is! We got 47.7 MPG on the 100 mile trip bringing her home.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Boo @ Sep 20 2007, 04:33 PM) [snapback]515454[/snapback]</div> No, but a big hello to a fellow Noho Mag. Grey Prius owner!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Stev0 @ Sep 20 2007, 09:09 PM) [snapback]515535[/snapback]</div> Right back at 'ya! We'll have to wave when we see each other.
DH and I joined Oct. 13th. B) This is my dream car! I'm afraid that it's already dirty We're getting the window's tinted and I have window deflectors on their way
Hey all, I traded-in my Jeep Liberty for my first Prius.... Got an 08 Magnetic Gray Base #6... had it for 3 weeks now as well... and getting about 45MPG and have over 700 miles so far. Lovin it so far... but all these mods are overwhleming and gonna get me broke!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Stev0 @ Feb 20 2007, 09:41 PM) [snapback]393641[/snapback]</div> count me in. Got my 2008 Magentic Gray Prius with Pkg 6 (Nav and leather options) delivered yesterday (Nov 10th 2007). It is a jewel and I am a happy owner so far
when I got my Phantom Gray Matrix I wasn't even considering gray, but initially, seeing as it was the only one with available options I wanted I decided to spring for it. had tC rims on it too (this was by far my most favorite pic) but sold them... debating whether to get them again since many here have already played that card...
Today is Thanksgiving...and my birthday. Picking up my 08 Mag. Gray , option #2 tomorrow. Replacing my 1990 Ford 150 PU. So as of then... count me in the club! Also, my first post.
Welcome aboard! A new Prius! Magnetic Grey! In the Bay State! You're three for three, you lucky dog, you.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(craigk @ Nov 11 2007, 06:24 PM) [snapback]538095[/snapback]</div> [/color]I'm in, even though I don't have the car yet. I wanted the Mag Gray Touring Prius with Pkg #3 and to get it in CA you have to order it from Japan. Takes 90-100 days. Doesn't cost anymore, just takes time. I guess the first things I will get for it are the front/back heat shield sunscreens, the clear mats to go over the carpeted ones, side moldings, and mud guards. It comes with the rear bumper guard. Hopefully I will win the lottery so I can get more. I LOVE that Sunroof. Was it expensive. I have to have one. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jaywalker @ Nov 23 2007, 02:52 AM) [snapback]543154[/snapback]</div> Oh yeah forgot, gotta get the windows tinted and get sheepskin seat covers. Since it might be 4 months until I get the car, I guess I can start buying things for it now. MAG GRAY ROCKS!!!!!
