would it be rice of me to slap on a spirit R emblem?

also, is it a sticker or what?

and do the spirit-r's have stickers on both side of the car or just one?

 

i'm currently doing just that. i don't consider it rice, because the differences between the cars are minor as long as you do the '99 updates. the stickers are on both sides of the car. i recommend you talk to jason at jt-imports about getting them. he gave me a nice discount from what they were on his site

 

To me, it's the EXACT same thing as a Civic owner putting a Type R sticker on his LX.....

 

I would worry about the $$$$ paint job before sweating details like emblems

*Then I would worry about how the car would look painted dk gray with a tan interior.

**Then I would worry about how gas will hit $3/gallon by summer......

 

a type-r and an lx are nowhere near the same car. a US rx-7 and a spirit-r differ slightly in hp and the brakes are a little better. hardly the same situation. minor upgrades could make your typical fd far superior to a spirit-r in performance

 

And that still doesn't make it a Spirit R.

 

Exactly. It's the pot calling the kettle black. You can't call a Civic LX owner a "ricer" for putting a Type R sticker on his car and then put a Spirit R badge on your FD.

Take your argument to the Civic case: if the LX owner dropped a new engine in and upgraded the suspension and wheels, would it be ok to put the Type R sticker on then?

 

no, but it's often been accepted to put efini emblems on an fd. it's not an efini, so how can that be okay, but not the spirit-r stickers? i just love the spirit-r, but i'm not willing to import one

 

is it a simple sticker or is there some depth into its quality?

and i think dark grey would look good on tan =p

 

it's not just a sticker. it's like a piece of stamped metal with raised lettering and clear coating. it's a pretty thick piece actually, almost as thick as the front and rear emblems

 

In all reality who the f*ck cares? Everyone has a different opinion, and in all reality do what makes you happy, you're the one who has to like it. I've seen far worse done to FD's on this forum then putting Spirit R badges on one.

 

i dont consider it rice. Efini badges arent considered rice. "Flying M" badges arent considered rice. so why not the Spirit R badges if you're going Spirit R colors?

 

holy **** 3 usd a gallon. 1 us gallon is 3.2liters and $3 us is 4 canadian. do the math thats 1 dollar canadian per liter.
holy **** are you guys gettign *** rammed if it gos that high. here rigth now its at 65.9 cents can $ whitch is around 1.580 us per gallon. damn now for my road trip in the 7 to l.a. this summer i migth need to save more money for gas holy **** that is just crazy

Efini & Flying M emblems aren't for specific models of RX-7 unlike a Spirit R. Putting a Spirit R emblem on a non-Spirt R is no worse than the Civics running around in the US with Type-R emblems that people here love to go on about.

 

Flying M emblems ARE for specific (year) models of RX-7's.... that's why the 93-95 stock came with the toilet bowl emblems and not the Flying M emblems. same difference with the Spirit R emblems, they are for specific (year) models and they had extra HP and a few other things with them.

Everyone: I consider Acura owners putting Honda symbols on their car the exact same as I consider Mazda owners putting Efini symbols on their car. US RX-7's arent Efini's and US Acura's arent Honda's. Dont consider it rice, but it is the same difference. "Making your car something it's not." I quoted that because I dont go by it; it's not a quote from me, but I have heard it. putting "Lambo" (scissor) doors on your car is also making it something it's not. Putting on ANY non-stock part is making your car something it's not. If you want the car to be what it is, leave it 100% stock. Unless you do that, you have no room to say anything about what someone else is doing.

 

word^

 

its your dam car. do u really care what we kink of it??? you have to live with it if you decide to put the emblems on or not.

 

What are you saying "word" for? If you felt that way in the first place, why the hell did you bother creating a thread asking us for our opinions?

All I can say is that you better never make fun of a Civic/Accord running a Type R sticker again.....

 

 

ouch

well i made the post to see everyones opinions. im simply stating MY opinion with "word^"

i simply pointed out that he was making a good point

also, i said if. im going to be getting a different color anyways =p. and no, i wont buy the emblem

 

so what color ARE you going with???

 

thats why I just always shave my emblems and let people play the guessing game on what type of car it is.. Hell, everytime I go somewhere I come back to like 4 or 5 people standing around my car asking what it is.. I tell them "Ford probe with a bodykit" and leave spitting a nice fat flame

 

Its a high quality sticker. It's on both sides of the cars fenders, and if you like it, get it.
