    There's three salsas at work now. All parking in the same lot. I need a quick and easy mod so that I know right away which Prius is mine. Sure I can remember where I parked, but if there's two parked next to each other a small mod would help id the correct one.

    Any ideas?

    Try tying a short length of ribbon onto the antenna.

    Could try the "hit the button on the fob" method and see which one lights up... I guess you must have an SKS equipped Prius and generally don't need to actually have fob in hand.

    Yep we have the SKS option. Something from the antenna would likely be the best idea. It would be nice to know before hand which car is mine before walking in the wrong direction. I usually get the same spot when I park in the morning, but coming back from lunch I never get a set spot.

    Change the antenna to a short antenna?
    Take off the plastic cover?
    Perhaps some Prius decals?
    Tinted windows?
    VVT-i emblem?
    side window visors?
    an american flag stuck onto a window?

    It's pretty clear to me what you need to do. You need to "rice out" your Prius. I suggest adding an enormous wing to the rear hatch lid. But not just another "carbon fiber look" wing the size of a picnic table bench - go for something distinctive, like this:

    Click for Ridiculous Looking Honda

    I think the wing doubles as a TV antenna.

    Pro-hybrid or not, to THAT topper, I say :pukeright: followed by a big ol' :Wth: and let's not for get the EVER popular :sick:

    And if "Mr. Green" is smiling because he's so nauseated his teeth are floating... then :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Just my opinion...

    I say fit it with tint and chrome and... a salsa may look good with like a running stripe or something along the side... If not for the tan interior I would have been very in favor of the salsa prius...
