    Congrats - I definitely like that color better than my 07 seaside pearl. I'm also envious of all the mods already!!

    I love the color! I was dying for some kind of darker metallic blue when I got my 2007. Seaside is nice but too light.

    I just checked the Toyota web site and Spectra Blue isn't available. <_< I tried both a midwest and Cali zip code.

    I'm not a fan of blue cars in general, but I must admit that this particular shade of blue is VERY sexy. I wish it was available when I bought mine...

    With in a short time you added lot of accessories to upgrade your Prius. I ordered one and it is expected in a month. Unfortunately not all colors are available with touring package.

    I live in Rural, KY.

    Can you comment on how much it costs to add the 3 M bumper and fender protector? I also want to add side marker lights.

    In these rural areas I asked few No one knows about installing 3 m clear shield film for bumper and fenders. I have to go to Louisville or some other place to get one installed.
    Which 303 products you used?

    Any of your comments will help me.

    Only 2 priuses in my county.
    Thanks

    Call your nearest Toyota dealer...they will be able to tell you more about them. I also checked the Toyota.com website and it wasn't easy to see the new color. I don't remember now how I saw it, but it is there. Other people on this site said it was, so I checked it out until I hit the right button to see it.

    It is the only new color this year.

    I paid $700 for the 3M Protectant install. You can go on the internet to www.expel.com and check under dealers to access the closest one to you. Since we are going on a road trip, we wanted to protect the car from rocks and bugs as much as possible.

    I have used the 303 Aerospace Protectant to put on the inside dash and console. Seems to work pretty good. I have ordered the wipes for the windshield wipers because it's supposed to keep snow and ice off of them. I ordered (like a pill) for the wiper refill to drop in the liquid that helps take the bugs off the windshield easier. You can see their products on 303products.com.

    What I did while I was waiting on the car was to order a lot of those mods so I would have them when the car came in. We have had several people sit in our car on the GT car seat covers and didn't know they were seat covers even though we only put them on the front two bucket seats. The only problem is you almost have to order them custom made to the car because of the side air bags. The ones at the auto parts stores don't have the side air bag flaps yet.

    Hope you enjoy your car...we sure are!!!

    Many thanks for the information.In the county I live there only 2 priuses. The local Toyota dealer said he only sold 10 Prius so far.( all these years)

    Thanks to the prius chat, I am able to learn few things.
    Thanks again for sharing the information.
    I ordered Totyota at cincinatti(costco auto purchase program) on september 7th.
    The dealer is unable to get Sea side pearl or the pine so far. I may have to change it to Silver as it seems to be easily available with touring package.
