What color Vinyl? part 1

What color Vinyl?
Hey folks, im going to do a roll call down teh side of my door (shows what parts i use). Well im having trouble deciding what color to use. I can use ANY color i want, my friend works at a vinyl shop and i can get WRB, or chrome if i felt like it. Well anyways, my car is WRB, and is an 02 WRX with the 04 Charge Speed v.2 front. The rims are Gold 18" split 6 spoke rims. What color do you guys think? I was thinking either a gunmetal color, or gold to match the rims, but im not sure if thats too ugly.

p.s. if you think vinyl is ricey, dont bother me with it, i dont care, im using it regardless.

Oh forgot to mention, i have a CF hood and Black chrome housing headlights.

Use a blue that is a little lighter than the WRB so it looks like ghost lettering. $.02

do you have any pics of your car? that would probably help me decide...
MB38 08-25-2004 03:26 PM

If you are insisting on using vinyl... go with black to match or a blue to make it look like ghost lettering. Are these your sponsors, or are you just doing it for bling?
TrizzyDizzy 08-25-2004 03:42 PM

Well my car is just getting finished at the shop, but when i do get it finished, ill be sure to show you guys. Yes, im just doing it for Bling. It'd be nice to have all those sponsors. So you guys think ghost lettering would look cool? Thats what i was originally thinking, so i dont give away waht ive got under my hood so easily...hehe. But i thought it'd only look good on white and silver. Im pretty positive that im not going to use white or black, both look very...honda. But you guys dont think gunmetal or silver would look good?

I've seen people do a carbon fiber pattern vinyl, it may match your hood, but i dunno, if i had to put vinyl on, i would so a wrc replica kinda, with the big wrc decal on the side, then do your roll call in yellow.. just my .02

Roll Call? Eh I'll keep my mouth shut and opinions to myself on this one.

be original! cherry blossom red!
TrizzyDizzy 08-25-2004 11:20 PM

haha red? nah thats alright, but pink did cross my mind, j/k! Thanks Matt for keeping your mouthshut, im already decided on doing this, im mostly going for show, so you know how that goes. Thanks Brad for posting that pic, that has actually swayed me to a gold or bronze color! I dont like that WRC look, actually i think the WRX cars are ugly, lol. And carbon fiber will be a lil too ricey for me, you know?

correct me if Im wrong, but isnt cherry blossom red the STi "pink"
TrizzyDizzy 08-26-2004 01:05 PM

hmm never heard....but sti pink = feminine, cherry blossom red = feminine....possibly!
ydant 08-26-2004 05:23 PM

I'm with dubRexn on this one. If you're going to go, go the whole way. :)
TrizzyDizzy 08-26-2004 08:51 PM

what do you mean ydant? you agree with him on the carbon fiber? or the WRC style? Well what i plan on doing is have the roll call down teh side and a big "Vizions" across the whole side of the car from the bottom of the front wheel to the bottom of the rear window. BTW Vizions is my car crew.
ydant 08-26-2004 10:13 PM

Sorry - with the yellow and WRC logo mix
TrizzyDizzy 08-26-2004 10:22 PM

Oh, noticed you are from B'ham. When i get my car finished, me and my crew are hopefully going yo ride up there. I went a while back to the "scene" but i didnt want to drive my car, lol. Now im definately going to go up there!
TrizzyDizzy 08-27-2004 12:34 PM

any other opinions?

[QUOTE=TrizzyDizzy]any other opinions?[/QUOTE]

don't do it, or scrap the "roll call" idea and do some WRC graphics
TrizzyDizzy 08-27-2004 03:59 PM

nah folks im not doing WRC graphics. My car is a street car, the only off roading my car will see is driving through autumn leaves! lol. And the WRC look is soo ugly. We got one in town, of a stock WRX with yellow WRC stickers and all....eew its soo ugly.
ydant 08-27-2004 04:02 PM

Ever watch WRC? Quite a lot of the rallys are tarmac...
dome 08-27-2004 04:05 PM

not a huge fan of vinyl, but some nice ghost lettering would be my choice.
fragment 08-27-2004 04:17 PM

1. STi Pink (Maybe there's a chance in H3ll it came that way from the factory)

2. Yellow (Maybe your car got mobbed by a WRC crew)

well there are plenty of tarmac rallies and while i wouldn't put any sort of stickers on my car, if feel the urge to rice out your car, i think the WRC graphics are the best way to go.

of course, a stock WRX (like the one you've seen) is going to look stupid with any sort of stickers but a well modified tarmac rally replica could be pretty hot.
TrizzyDizzy 08-27-2004 05:57 PM

Yeah thats true. I dont think stickers are rice, if it was rice all of the top modified japanese and american Imports wouldnt do it. And dont say thats because its their sponsors, because not all of them are. I promise you that. I say roll calls are cool if you've got something to look at. if the car is weak, a roll call isnt neccasry.

Ok ill make it easy for you folks. WRB looks good with what color vinyl:
Gunmetal
Light Blue
Dark Blue
Bronze
Gold

eh, i'm anti-rice, anti-stickers, but hey its your car so im not going to argue anymore. which "american imports" are doing it? :p

[QUOTE=whtlegacy] which "american imports" are doing it? :p[/QUOTE]

The herrra fasss ones.
TrizzyDizzy 08-27-2004 09:15 PM

World One's STI, Vivid's STi, and many others
whtlegacy 08-28-2004 12:39 AM

oh...you mean import tuners. i thought you were talking about importing a JDM mustang/camaro :)
TrizzyDizzy 08-28-2004 09:05 AM

oh haha! no not that, lol. I couldnt think of the right name for it, lol.
eurojax 08-28-2004 09:40 AM

The only vinyl that should touch a subaru is WRC graphics or a "spin off" like Subie Gal has.
ydant 08-28-2004 11:34 AM

Tom Hoppe's looked nice - but his was all sponsors (except domo-kun, of course ;)) White on blue.
TrizzyDizzy 08-28-2004 11:42 AM

So you guys dont like it how japanese tuners like Cusco, RE Amemiya, Bomex, Sparco, Endless, 5 Zigen, Signal, Top Secret, JUN, etc. show off there cars? I know we all agree, that if you dont have atleast one product from the company, you shouldnt have the sticker. And the WRC stickers are the same way, if you dont rally it, why put the stickers? I think thats called posing. But hey whatever, ill waht i want, and you guys do what you want.
TrizzyDizzy 08-28-2004 11:44 AM

who's that? got any pics of his car?
