    Does anyone know how I can determine whether or not DMV in CA has run through their quota of Green HOV stickers for new Prius Plug ins? I want to purchase the vehicle but only if I can obtain a sticker. TIA.

    Hi John,

    There are 40,000 stickers available and I just received mine and I am only #4859, so it is unlikely that they will issue all the stickers before the program even ends!

    Maybe (hopefully) they'll extend the program past January, 2015.

    Given the rather (slow) rate of depletion and past experience with the yellow stickers, that actually seems highly likely.

    I took a "high-low" approach when affixing the HOV stickers to my PIP - "high" on the front and rear, "low" on the sides. The front/rear stickers are placed high to reduce the amount rocks and or road grime that these stickers will have to endure, and the side stickers were placed low because the mudguards will provide some protection from elements that are whooshed up from the rear tires.

    I followed the lines of the car when applying the stickers on the front and sides, and I vertically aligned the rear sitcker with the Hybrid Synergy Drive badge on the rear deck. Also, be very careful when applying these sticker - it's very easy for creases and/or air bubbles to form underneath/within the stickiers if not applied in an even manner.

    For those that have yet to apply their stickers, before application - make photocopies of the stickers and tape the copies around various locations to get the look that you want. Happy PIP'ing!

    Do you get a confirmation that your application has been accepted before they mail out the sticker? I just hope I submitted everything OK. It's been about a 10 days (including weekends) since I submitted and the DMV has not cashed my check yet.

    No, they don't send a confirmation--just the stickers and associated registration info. You should be getting your stickers any day now, I would think.

    Has anyone recently received their sticker? I sent in my application Saturday (10/6). They haven't cashed my check yet. I'm just curious what the current "processing" time is these days.
