does my WRX look rice? part 1

idealrides 06-10-2003 09:10 PM

does my WRX look rice?
well I know it looks rice but is it a good rice or bad rice?
2F2F replica graphics were cut by hand, one of my employees does vinyl in his spare time so I let him go wild.

yes horribly rice


seriously though: who the hell cares-if you like it let it be


my opinion: meh dont care for it...to cluttered
^jynx^ 06-10-2003 09:17 PM

not much of a fan of vinal. Well large vinal, but i think it looks good. I think it would look better with rims and a spoiler
TheDonPerignon 06-10-2003 09:21 PM

yes.

Solve this problem by taking off the designs, and lose all but one or two of the decals.

jp:cool:
heffergm 06-10-2003 09:21 PM

Well, it looks pretty damn ricey to me. But like someone else said, if you like it, who the hell cares what I think?
WRXVII 06-10-2003 09:28 PM

lowered springs and 17-18" rims will make it not as ricey..... can't stand the look of stock rims ...... :D

You have one talented cutter there! :)
lawn boy 06-11-2003 12:55 AM

god damn...your car is nuts! put some rims and a touring wing and youd have 0ne hell of a show car
purplegrape 06-11-2003 02:52 AM

I like the side but not the hood & trunk... then again, who cares as long as you like it!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Fuquad 06-11-2003 03:01 AM

Short answer: YES.

Long Answer: YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS.

Might look better if it were'nt BONE STOCK other than the decals...

But, I do agree, who cares what we think?

i agree with the last two, keep the sides and lose the strips
Wizzy 06-11-2003 08:42 AM

Looks better than the "Ponys" I've been seeing lately

agrteed highly. The long stikcers down the hood are for more muscle old cars. The sides would not look bad with rims and a wing<--not a giant metal frame deal, something simple and nice

but hye you like it you roll with it man, ALL GOOOD
idealrides 06-11-2003 11:09 AM

it's a shame I left my 17's in the states because they have winter tires on them, they would have completed the look.
Just FYI the stickers are a joke, I was planning on keeping them for a day or two after the show but so many people complement the car I figured why not keep them for a little while.

Now how can anybody say it would look LESS rice with a wing?? :confused:

Where's what she used to look like before uncle ben moved in:

piker28 06-11-2003 11:14 AM

well least you are making up your own mind, personally id take them off id be easier in the long run with the paint colors gettimg warn in the sun yada yada. Im just saying like the STI wing would look real good<--hate cars withoutspoilers but thats just me ya know
Silverscooby27 06-11-2003 11:40 AM

Yes, it is rice IMO. But, if I had hand-cut those decals, and you took them off, I think I'd kill you by cutting out your heart with a rusty spoon. :) If you like 'em, keep 'em.
BeavisNuke 06-11-2003 11:44 AM

totally rice, this shouldn't even be a question.
Vostok 7 06-11-2003 11:50 AM

I say get a wing.

I like the racing stripes but the side is a little much. If you ask me, it's clean but it's like it's missing something.

I'd say get a wing and some gunmetal rims in 17" or 18" (dunna why you have your stockies on in the one pict, and some nice rims in the before pict?).

For a wing, maybe the CF STi that Gruppe-S sells? I'm thinking if you go for a GT or JGTC look it'd be killer.

And one last thing, finish the striping on the top... I.E., take it down the bumper, over the hoodscoop, over the roof and down the whole tail... It'll look MUCH better that way.

WR xplosive 06-11-2003 12:32 PM

RICE definitely, but who cares right? Nice stripes, looks like a Dodge Neon now.

IMHO, those graphics just doesnt look right on a stock car. (as pictured)

again, thats just my opinion and not to be taken seriously. :lol:
Kean 06-11-2003 12:39 PM

As most everyone else says.....what really matters is if you like it. Personally, I don't like the flashy, boy racer look. I've always taken a more subtle, refined approach on my vehicles. Even with performance mods.....I try to take a low-key approach and don't advertise what I have. Maybe it's because I'm 35?

I like the "before" picture. Whatever floats your boat though.

good point Kean. It could be the age, I'm slowly inching my way to 30 and Id like stay low profile :)
Adiliyo 06-11-2003 01:42 PM

it looks a bit over the top with all the stripes and stickers, but it is your car, and i'd hate for people to tell me what i can do with my car, so whatever floats your boat :)

as to the older people not wanting a flashy car, i'm 21 and i am trying to keep my car pretty subtle, just don't like people thinking i constantly want to race them or something :)
JC 06-11-2003 03:13 PM

Is that an EVO 6 in the first picture? I think the graphics would look better in dark grey.

i think it has guts to do what you did:)

that being said, i totally respect you for even posting this

my opinion, i dont like it, but then again, im not the one to talk, cause people have called my car rice type r lol
anyway, keep on doing what you are doing, cause its your car, not mine. If you wanna rock the stickers, then rock that ish! good luck
Lightning Jack 06-11-2003 05:38 PM

i like it! :alien:
scoobyimpreza 06-11-2003 05:53 PM

i like the EVO
Beam 06-11-2003 09:45 PM

Agreed--ricey, could use rims, it is a nice job on the vinyl, but DON'T get the wing. I think the car is nicer looking w/o the wing. "course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong..."


Beam

<---------Has a wing.

Definate, if the wheels are upgraded they will balance :alien: out the amount of vinyle you got.
I'm personally not a fan of wings(at least stock and larger ones). I think too may people got wings so seeing a subie w/o a wing is kinda refreshing. :rolleyes:
ZoomnWRX 06-12-2003 08:50 AM

i think its nasty. there is too much contrast.
i bet if it was in a darker shade of silver it would look alot better and not so BAM in your face blue on silver

i'm not a big fan of graphics... but in the cases where i do like them, the car doesn't look stock otherwise.
maybe if you had some headlights and a nice body kit and put your winter wheels on it would look better.

He does have morettes; they're even painted. The pic of the car w/ out the graphics and w/ the wheels is pretty nice.

I agree, though, if you are going for "that" look, a body kit would help a lot and really accent the vinyl. Yes, that would be more rice, but I think then at least it would be understood what you are going for. The rest of the car is too subtle to have all of those decals all over it.

Not to mention, you don't have ANY of the parts on your car that you are advertising w/ the decals.

Just some more thoughts, since you did post for that reason...
JDMpreza 06-12-2003 04:50 PM

it looks like dog ****.
cindergarden 06-12-2003 10:34 PM

i dont know if age has a lot of weight on it...maybe its cause i belong to a different class of owners but i JUST turned 18 and i keep a low profile as much as i can as far as all that nonsense goes i dont let it touch my baby.

Oh, and if you put a spoiler on there ill beat you over the head with a stick :p No spoiler look = Bestest IMHO ;) (and get some wheels)
Those stickers are a bit over the top though, I hope its all for a sponsor or something...
PPower 06-13-2003 07:48 AM

I don't like it, but your employee did an amazing job with it. Pretty good replica of the movie. Personally, I can't stand the 2F2F image, and I wouldn't want my car to be associated with it outside the fun of having the "replica" for the movie premier. Definitely get some 17's. Go with what you like the best and what best represents you.
kenchan 06-13-2003 10:53 AM

i guess if you give it a good lowering work and wheels, it would
look more or a competition car for stereos and cosmetics...

if you're planning to race it at a roadcourse with sponsorship
its not rice.
0260B4U 06-13-2003 09:03 PM

Lose the racing stripe, you drive an import.

Plus the scoop break up the line and ruins any chance of it looking good.

Try a differnt color like black or gray with the middle side graphic and lose the other 2. Keep the decals but also change the color.

If i could photoshop I bet it woudl look sweet as hell then

Yeah, I realized that later when I looked at it again. Also, I got your back when someone else specifically said your car would look good "if you got some headlights..." I pointed out that you do have morettes...

I also said that if you are going for "that" look, a body kit would help a lot and really accent the vinyl. Yes, that would be more rice in some people's eyes, but I think then at least it would be understood what you are going for. The rest of the car is too subtle to have all of those decals all over it. And, if you have performance mods, that also reduces the rice factor. My opinion on rice is just don't advertise what you don't have.

So, how about a list of mods? :D

That's a 6"? I thought they only did the little ones and 12" figures.
