I saw an ad on ebay, and got an idea. I thought of putting vinyl over my third brake light, then cutting out "Rx-7" so it shines through when the brake is applied.

Anyone think thats rice?

Its your car...But I would not do that on mine.

Hey, you want chopsticks, or are you gonna eat it from the bowl ?

If the vinyl matched your cars paint and there was no emblem on the back already...it'd be ok in my book. But if it already says it on the back....

I saw a guy w/ a supercharged Cobra convertable with "nice try" cut into his. Looked good. I say do it!

why do people care if other people say stuff is rice? As long as you aren't puting vtec or typeR stickers on your rx-7, do what ever you want. The only thing that bothers me is when people put stickers and single wiper conversions and other stupid mods trying to make thier car seem like it is fast.

I had a guy tell me one time his Honda Civic was pushing like 300 WHP, I mean this thing was bone stock engine wise, but he had all the looks on it, and the "TYPE R" stickers, so I said" what the stickers gave you all that horsepower huh?" He was pretty pissed off. But anyway I would think it would look good, I have thought about putting the same on mine. i wouldnt call it rice.

I say its cool if you want to do it. i wouldn't do it to my car but whatever floats your boat. If everybody had the same opinion then the world would be a boring place.

Do whatever you want, it's your car. If everybody on the forum said it'd be cool if you took a **** on your hood, would you do it?

I wish I could find some body-colored vinyl. I hear somebody makes it, but I haven't been able to get any yet.

'Vert in Vegas

I used to own a sign shop using vinyl.
I am sure you can find vinyl that will very closely match any Mazda color.
I vote don't do it!

bingoboy

oo pics of **** on yer hood

anyway. i dont think its ricey. my definition of "rice" is trying to make your car look like something more than it is without backing that up. so unless your car isnt an rx7 i say go for it. its an rx7 right? :p

hmm this thing looks cool

His body color changes.

It's not rice, I did this on my black TII, black sticker covering it, looked trick. I got the format from a guy that I think is still on this forum, but I'm sure you can make your own.I have a file, I forget how to get it to work, since it's a .bin file.

PuppyDoc

I wouldn't do it to my car, but that's just me.

UniqueTII

Yeah, my color isn't from Mazda. I know someone makes colorshifting vinyl, but I haven't been able to get any. Of course, I haven't looked too hard, but I was thinking of using it to temporarily cover up some body work, since I an hoping for a full repaint over the winter.

Antonio_bigbob

i'm curious to see how that would look on the rx7.
if ne one has pics, post them, i'm interested to see the results.

Use stuffit expander to expand it. You will have the native file to use fron there.

Try a sign shop that can do vinyl lettering. They should have a selection of fonts and logos (might have RX7 or Mazda ready to go) to choose from. Just don't do anything "handmade", rarely does it work.
A friend of mine has a shop downtown that can do pretty much whatever you would want..

Unique- try painting a piece of enamel receptive vinyl with your cars paint. White would work nicely, but a piece of Scotchlite (that stuff on road signs) can be very interesting with paint covering it.

I would say do what you want to with your car, but I wouldn't do it with my car.

NixxoN

Does anyone have pictures of this done to other cars? I would realy like to see what the final product looks like in the day and in the night if possable... I'd probably do it if it looks good enough.

jspecracer7

I think it's borderline rice...however since you're waiting on a Haltech...go for it! You've got the HP to back up the talk...
