    :confused:Mats look good. Could you please tell what the cut out on back left side of the drivers mat is for? I have a 2012 Plug In Advance. I ordered a set of the Kagu 3D off eBay for my wife's new 2014 Buick Encore. I liked the look and quality of the mats so well I ordered a set for my Prius PIP - LINK. They have the same cut out, but it's not needed for the PIP. I emailed the seller who contacted the factory where they're made and stated that's the only style mat for the Prius hatchback, Prius V, and the Prius PIP. I had the option to return all three mats, just the drivers, or keep them. I liked the mats so well that I sent them a note that I would reluctantly keep them. After the fact, they credited my PayPal account $25, out of the $151 I spent for the three mats. The mats for my wives CUV are perfect. Thanks!

    :)On Wednesday, before I washed my PIP, I removed the lower grill blocking tape now that spring has sprung.

    Non-PiPs have the release lever on the floor, or at least my '11 did.

    It looks good but living in South Florida One of the reasons why I like my white roof is because that keeps the temperature inside of the car few degrees cooler. So, no, leave it white.

    The cutout is for the manual gas door release. The PIP has the electric release button next to the mirror switch.

    Well, I don't know what papers are you reading but the temperature insight of white color cars is always lower than in dark color cars. That's a fact, there was even a mythbuster episode where they tested something else but in the process they measured the temperature and the results showed that.

    True. I did see that episode but we're not comparing a full black car, just the roof.

    I bought the car new with a white roof. 4 months later, I had it painted black. I couldn't tell a difference.

    It's all a personal preference

    You may not notice any difference but the fact is that there is a difference of up to 10 degrees.
