windshield decal rice or not?
�
�
I want to get a subaru windshield decal it has a black background with white subaru letters and a blue emblem. Would this be rice or not? Would like to dress up the front a little plus it would serve as a sunshield.

rice! of course "rice" is subjective. if you're in the middle of PA, it may not be. in philadelphia, i'd say definitely rice.
| mcowger | 01-30-2005 10:30 PM |
I disagree. If its tasteful, I don't think its rice.
| 7SMwrx | 01-30-2005 10:34 PM |
um, imho, hard to say unless you've got a lot of bling on the thing - but rice it is.
If you'd match it up with some WRC rally-inspired emblems - not really rice.
But enjoy and don't worry about the others - you can always strip it off later.

I think it looks okay, but i chose mine to color match the car so it didnt stick out. And its been on there so long I just leave it there, so the other locals know who I am.

ya, do what you want- it's your car. have fun! as long as you don't have calvin pissing on a ford emblem, i think you'll be fine.

I have one on my Silver STi. Its silver, app 6" wide,Subaru is in WR blue and has STi in pink on each side.Like so.

i've always seen window decals as ricey, unless you have other decals/vinyls well-placed on the car. having a window decal kinda destroys the "clean" look, imo.
| fullmonte77 | 01-30-2005 10:48 PM |
Thanks for the input think i will go ahead and order one next week.
| Handsdown | 01-30-2005 11:29 PM |
it's rice, but as long as it's black background, it's not going to look too bad... so, who cares what we think?
though if i were you i'd just get a strip of 10% tint.

I *had* a navy blue strip on my windshield, to keep the sun out. Until the icy weather last weekend, and my wiper tore it in half, so its gone now.

I think it would be rice only if it didn't actually mean anything relating to your car.
For example, what you describe sounds perfectly relevent, however "Powered by VTEC" or "APC" = RICE, especially on a Subaru!

| TREKWRXSST | 01-31-2005 05:35 PM |
I think done wrong its total rice. If its done tastfully on a Suby it looks rally! I like it if you can do it right. DONT have it be your only "mod"!
| esper | 01-31-2005 06:03 PM |
rice or not, the idea of having a 12 inch high logo describing what the car obviously is on it just seems a bit lame to me.
I mean, the giant metal one I had to scrape off my trunk lid was bad enough. I think all that unneccesary writing and badging ruins the clean sculptural look that car designers intend in most cases.

I've seen a white 2.5RS around the forums with a cherry blossom red banner. I think the pink looks wonderful on pretty much all colors of the Impreza. I think sedona red and san remo red would be the only colors that I wouldn't like the pink banner.

I don't think its ricey at all if done right. If it's a sponsor logo, SUBARU banner, or Racing/Show team banner I think its ok. If it has nothing to do with your car like "APC" or "Type Racing" or whatever then its very ricey. I've had several banners on my car.

well.. windshield banners are not my flavor.. but it IS YOUR car, so do with it what you will..
BTW.. I could never get why people put the manufacturer's name as a banner?? a big "SUBARU" banner is kinda rediculous to me.. but then again that's just me.. I'm used to seeing all the mexican rice out here in PHX..

| Tucker | 02-02-2005 09:34 PM |
It's definately rice since it does nothing functional, blocks your view of the road (sky), usually says something retarded like 'APC' or 'TYPE X SUPARFAST RACING', and is even more dumb if it is the only thing done to the car.
| Lachlan | 02-02-2005 10:31 PM |
I had one on my first windshield--it was just the standard "SUBARU" with star symbol in white. I thought it was pretty slick, but now that I look around at other cars with "grand prix" or whatever printed across the top I just think "you had to advertise that?" So I'd say try to refrain if you can.

I dont get this catagorising of people into rice/non-rice if they put a bloody sticker on their car...land of the free man...do what you want

Did you read the first post by the thread starter? He ASKED people specifically to categorize it as "rice or not."

you should make a particular solution to the Schrodinger equation and put it on too.

Windshield banners can be done functionally: see the WRC tintstrip post here:

A single vinyl line to replicate the WRC look, + a 20%, low-sight-line tintstrip to block sun-glare, ALL APPLIED FROM the INSIDE of the cabin --

Then, a smaller, vinyl banner on the OUTSIDE applied upon a shortened, opaque black background that blends invisibly into the transparent tintstrip --

Done this way -- my vision is fine night and day. In fact, if I were to do it again, I'd do 5% tint and bring the tintstrip line down even lower to really save my eyes on those glaring summer days ;) The combination windshield banner/dark tintstrip is very functional and gives a lot of sun-glare reducing benefits (as on WRC cars). You can get almost all of the "bling" of a low-sightline 100% opaque windshield banner, but without all the bad side effects (blocked vision esp. at night, windshield wiper interference, etc.) that such a huge, fully opaque banner would normally cause.
cheers!

It kind of reminds me of Honduran taxis. Lots of them have giant strips of metallic colored tint on the top and bottom of the windshield and a little strip in the middle to see light out of.
But that one is done much more classy than most of theirs.

Thank you for all your opinions. Alot of people have said it should not be the only mod.It would not be i have 17's,RS hood,clear corners and bumpers custom driving lights,custom red subaru emblem made with help from this forum.Coilovers,RS brakes,slotted rotors,short shifter,CAI,and last but not least custom 2.25" high flow cat pipe,stromung mid pipe and WRX flowmaster axel back.I'am still on the fence as what to do.

i have the same dilemma. i want to get one but i dont. i think they are functional if it has the strip to block the sun. if its just text, then ur just advertising for Subaru for free with out the functionality.
im also torn on what color i should get it. i know i want a black back ground. but i could get all gold letters since my rims are gold. the other option was the black background with white letters and blue logo. the last one im considering is the world rally blue back ground with yellow letters.

Holy necrothread bump. Almost made it to the 7 year old bump. They were rice in 2005. And if youre wondering, theyre still rice today.
