If you read my first post, you will see why I would want it. I think white is the plainest color of them all and needs something to touch it up and I like the way the RZ sticker looks. I wouldn't try to fool anybody, thats not the point!

Advertising something you don't have is just plain gay.

If you get a 99+ JDM body kit, you're not advertising something you don't have, unless you have a license plate, frame, or something that says "99 Spec". It's not like a Limited edition special model with special upgrades.

If you paint your car CYM when it's not, is that rice? No, it's not like you're advertising that you have an R1.

I guess both are borderline on what you believe is rice, but you're not directly advertising something either way like you would an "RZ" or "Bathurst-R" sticker.

I'm not trying to flame anyone, but like I said, it's like putting a Type-R sticker on a Civic DX.

I say go ahead and do it Gsrsol...I'll do it too and post pics...I dont care if they want to call me RICE.

I say as long as your rice is faster than those who call it rice, rice on! But you deserve all the heckling and flaming you get if you speckle your car with rice stickers and can't run with the big dogs.

Is it a greater level of "riceyness" when you are lying about the engine you have in your car as opposed to what color your shift boot stitching is?
ok...then what about a GNX badge on a T-Type? or a Limited badge on a Buick LeSabre LS. or an LE badge on a Camry SE?? how about a 25th Anniversary badge on a non-anniversary Supra?? or a GT badge on a Grand Am SE?? or a GT badge on a Grand Prix SE??

whatever. im not flaming, nor am i trying to get anyone to change their opinions. but i personally think having a badge of a model of car that is clearly not what you have is .

heh...nicely said. but the POINT is that its his FN car you are all entitled to your own oppinions but dont shoot them towards him and make him feel flamed or to anyone for that matter. Express you opinion with the thought in mind that its their car and let them do what they please. its a free country and let them do whatever theyd like becuase they spent the hard earned money and ill be damned if anybody should tell them what they can or cannot do to their own car. Simply put, if you dont like it then dont do it to your car. END OF THREAD

It can die now, I was having fun before and didn't want it to.

I think the sticker looks good and that is the reason I want one. However, I should be pulling mid to low 12's soon and there aren't alot of cars around that can touch that, plus I like being different or else I would have gotten a T/A.
