I have two stickers on each rear 1/4 window. I haven't had anyone laugh or put me down cause of them.

im asian but i don't have a sticker , does that mean im a bad asian ? :D

i reckon some stickers is fine, just gotta have something that flows well with the car , not something that screams out "LOOK AT ME , I"M COOL"

This is one of the few cars that pulled off red stickers and look awesome

I have some stickers on my Evo- tasteful, reflective of parts/brands I support, and nothing too obnoxious. That being said if I was to go all out on stickers, I wouldn't mind it but I'd accept that it would attract a lot more attention.

ps. What do you guys think of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_FjdSo520

I am all for each to their own, but when you put stickers on your car that belong to a different brand, or don't even exist on the car that is just silly.

Some of the comments seem to imply people think they're real Brembos.

I like the Factory look, as in you can add stuff to your car but not over the top or something that just shouldn't belong

I used to be a fan of the subtle factory look but I do like my car to stand out to those who know their cars or know it well enough to differentiate between factory and mine. Doesn't need to scream OMG LOOK AT ME but I'd like a bit of personality.

To me the definition of rice is stupid/bad mods, ie rice is never nice.

E.g brembo brake covers, stickers for things you don't have/stickers that are obnoxiously big/stickers that are trying to show attitude but just end up being pathetic or offensive.

There is nothing wrong with visual mods, even cheap ones like stickers, as long as its tasteful. Its just another way of loving your car.
Just because it doesn't cost lots or make it faster doesn't mean its wrong... I think some people just try to climb over each other by having the more expensive mod.

But we're pretty friendly here :) this certainly isn't a competitive forum.
