Think I'd rather remain incognito on my powerboost. Here is Austin there has been a surge of people cutting off and stealing catalytic converters to sell the metal in them at recycle yards. Evidently, once from hybrid cars are the most sought after as they typically contain more of the precious metals. Prius' are a prime target. There have been instances where a Prius owner has had their stolen and the replaced only to be stolen again. I'd rather the would be thieves think mine just a run of the mill ecoboost.

Geez, guess there's both sides of the coin! My girls already call it my "MAGA truck" which worries me a lot, living in big California cities. They of course are just teasing but all it takes is one angry person making an assumption about my political leanings and keying my brand new truck. Figure a hybrid badge at least shows some indication that I fit in here in NoCal! :ROFLMAO:

I think the Powerboost looks good, I like the look of the Hybrid badge but with the individual letters it just makes waxing a pain in the ass.

That’s a good idea. I put the lightning American flag in that spot. Same place they put it on those trucks.
