It's a Windsurf board, so up to a couple times a week in the summer months.

- Minn. "the land of 10,00 lakes" (tourism bureau - actually there are more) and there really is a surfing club up in Duluth where they surf Lake Superior tho the best waves are winter and they use dry suits - not for me.
Usually carry it stern first, deck up - but was just testing how it looked w/ a big weed fin on. The board actually will fit inside with seats folded flat - 90 cm. wide and 256 cm long and a 9 sq. Meter sail and rig fit too - unrigged and rolled of course. I was amazed it all went in and left me room to drive.

 

Add me to the group! picked mine up last night!!!

i believe those are the wheels that come standard on the touring prius.... with the covers removed... which happen to look awesome on the mag grey prius! i sooooooo wanted those wheels on my prius but couldn't stand the ride of the touring.... bleck!

 

there must be different styles of touring rims... not even looking at the removed hubcap, they look different

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(YodaddyAlex @ Jun 22 2007, 12:20 PM) [snapback]466414[/snapback]</div>

They are regular touring rims w/o the plastic silver covers as shown in the Toyota's Prius brochure and several threads here. You need axle hub covers tho - search on "Touring Badge" to find a thread on both and how to order etc. or this thread:

Wow, a Mag Grey Touring and a Red Honda VFR! Great minds think alike!

 

I'm in too.

FYI: Full width bumper guards from bumperdefender.com. Highly recommended.

Per popular requests, here are front and back pics also (they were previously posted on "bumper guards" threads).

The bumperdefender.com color I got is "Dark Grey". However, after I had ordered and put them on, I understand that they came out with a better (darker) color match called "Flint Mica Grey". If you're interested you should ask bumperdefender.com to send you color samples of both (they give you up to 3 free samples).

 

I get to join!!! My mag gray arrived at the dealer tonight and I'll be picking it up on Saturday. Yay!!

 

SUPPLEMENT RE BUMPER STRIPS:

When I installed the front bumper strip I elected to locate it on a line that ends up covering up the bottom 1/3 of the tow access hole - see picture below:

[attachmentid=9848]

I figured (perhaps mistakenly) that this wouldn't be a problem in the event I ever have to get towed. I figured that either the tow driver can still go through the exposed top 2/3 of the tow access hole, or we could pry back or cut/punch through the bumper strip as necessary. Thoughts, anyone?

 

I am in too. My Mag Gray is about a month old. I am loving it.

I owned a Black Nissan before and I loved how black looked but in Texas it was hard to keep the inside cool. Also the Black showed dings even worse than the gray.

That is why I decided to go with the Mag Gray. It is close to black but just as classy

NOTE: One member replied that if I ever have to get towed by a flat bed truck, a tow hook that is supplied with our Prius needs to get screwed into that hole which is threaded.

FOLLOW UP:

I went back to the owner's manual. It suggests that you only need that hole and hook in the odd emergency situation where you have to get towed with a rope/chain through the hook (e.g., if you're stuck in a deep ditch or underwater).

I also went back to my car and tried prying back the bumperstrip to remove the plug and access the hole, and found that it was easy to do --- notwithstanding the 3M super-duper glue, I was able to pry back the bumperstrip with my fingers.

So all in all, I'm not worried any longer. The bumperstrip stays where it is. Although if I could have a do-over ....

 

I previously posted pictures of my Magnetic Gray Prius with the BumperDefender.com 2" wide, full width, color matched, front and rear bumper guard strips.

This past weekend, I also finished installing the PriusChat Shop body side moldings.

So, here's how she looks with both the BumperDefender.com bumper guard strips, and the PriusChat Shop body side moldings:
