Rice or not?

CassiesMan · #1 01-26-2005, 09:16 PM

Not really street racing, but I was wondering ya'lls opinions on this...

I'm thinking about picking up some DTMPower.net stickers (15 bucks for four, and I'll only be putting two on my car), in order to support the website, and cuz they dont look all that bad. However, my room amte thinks that stickers are rice period, unless your sponsored, and that if I put them on my car, I'd be just as bad as any other ricer. I don't think I will be. I'm just wondering what you all think about this, your opinions and what not.

If you do end up putting stickers on it, the only place that is acceptable in my mind is going to be the rear driverside window.

THats what I was gonna do, rear windows, not the big 'DTM POWER, THE FUTURE OF BMW TUNNING' ones that go on the front and rear windows...I mean, its not like I'm buying a AA or UUC or Dinan sticker...

I don't think website stickers are rice since you're not trying to "show off" your mods.

I would never do it though.

*wonders how BMW tuning brand stickers = rice*

If it's just letters and it's like 'dtmpower.net' and it's relatively small I'd say it's acceptable. But, not my tastes...

Yup.

dtmpower.net is a good site tho. Personally I think they need to get back to some techademic videos for funds. I dont think it is rice because it doesnt state anything you dont have. However, I agree with the not my taste. Remember tho, everyone here can think what they want, but YOU drive the car.

It's your car, do what you like. Personally, I think as long as your not putting a Honda, Acura, or some other type of import brand name on your car, then it's alright. Take some pics and show what it looks like. You'd be surprised how you can change other's opinions through pics. Late...

I need to get the digi cam...Im working on pics, I should have a few soon...I hope. Anyways, tahnks for the feed back, I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the stickers, and put some pics up of them.

Yeah, it's really not rice...now if you were like "IM PUTTING A BIG TYPE-R STICKER, A GT-R BADGE, A POWERED BY HONDA STICK, AND A VTEC STICKER ON MY CAR" I'd be bashing your ass and telling you that you don't deserve a BMW.

I wouldn't see what the big deal is. I have stickers all over my race car of various parts that are used, or have been used before (Crane Cams, Hooker Headers, etc.). So I really don't see the big deal.

I have a small flowmaster sticker on the rear window of my truck as well as a Budweiser 'Born on Date' sticker that looks like the hood from Dale Jrs. race car from the Daytona 500 last year. I really dont see the big deal.

If anybody calls that rice, then that's just being too picky IMO.

I have a website sticker of my tuner(ls1truck) on one side of my back glass and a scandelous street racing sticker on the other side. Both are small. I also have a sticker across the front windshield of the company that supplies about 90% of my aftermarket parts(Thunder Racing).

Under the hood on the radiator shroud, I have stickers from just about every company that has stock in the truck.

Hey, It's gotten me plenty of free t-shirts from sponsors at track events that see the stickers.

There's a guy here that has managed to put the Fast and the furious side decals from the supra on his S-10. It is absolutely terrible!!!!
