    Default Putting on decals from parts that you bought is that rice???

    Hey everyone, I have recently bought Eibach Prokits springs and a Hypertech sport power programmer, both of these parts I love and am very proud of, they each came with accompaning decals which I have been back and forth on deciding to put them on? I have read many posts by members and I can clearly see that most members do not like decals and prefer a "clean" look. So is it rice to put on decals of parts which you have bought and installed?

    Rice is putting on decals for parts you don't have. I.e. putting a RAYS sticker on your car, but running replica wheels.

    I wouldn't call it rice, but rather a shopping list for thieves.

    imo, it doesnt matter.

    but for me. i had them on for a while. then i ripped them off as i outgrew the look and i dont need the extra attention from the police.

    Everything is rice to someone, go read the "painted my Mazda 3 finally" thread for proof some people hate for no reason.

    I love it when people feel they need TM3's approval to do shit to their own car.

    Had these decals all over my car just to piss off the haters
    IMO - It's a strong statement and just a way of living your life

    I really don't like stickers, unless they are funny.

    or if they are for a purpose.

    not a fan of stickers either unless they are the usual "baby on board", or supporting our troops stickers.

    Careful if you have to many stickers because people get distracted and might rear-end you!!(maybe..)

    Everyone's comments basically have the same theme, and mine is also along the same line.

    "RICE" means different things to different people. Modding cars has always been and should be in terms of doing what you love. Alot of people dont like decals...... But all of my cars have had decals, because I like the look of it.

    Do I care what other's say. Somewhat, but not to the point that I'll alter the look to please someone else. You gotta have tough skin to have this as a hobby.

    +1 to that. Personally, I like clean cars without decals, cars with decals all the way to sticker bombed. There are several niches in car modding and I respect them all.

    To the OP, I in no way see how it would be rice to rock decals of manufacturers of parts that you have installed on your ride. If they weren't on your car I'd say its a different story.

    Hey man just do what you want! Just dont use decals to cover up rust spots XD. I think decals add personality and +5hp per square inch of decal.

    Respect p-o-g-i !!! Bottom line for me is that I'm really proud of my prokits the stance of my ride is much better now, I was leaning towards putting on the decals anyways, plus I dropped abit of coin for these parts and I do want some attention.

    To the OP. Sell Mazda and buy yourself a Honda and sticker bomb it and stop asking dumb questions.

    lol i'm in the same boat as you OP. i bought 2 each of Magnaflow and Koni decals to go with the 2 TEIN decals I got with my springs. I was thinking of putting them on the front doors near the moldings but haven't done it yet cause I couldnt decide on the loction and I didnt want to look too rice. i may just put them on eventually or just one of them

    i personally don't like decals - if already spent coin on the parts, why give them free advertising?
