Is it rice or not?

if your talking about the one on the side of your car, yes, i think it looks a little to "rice' for my taste.

It's not that bad, kinda suttle. I like it. If the car was a civic with "Type S" then I would vote for Rice. IMO

The problem i had w/ the sign was that it does not match the "real TYPE S" logo, the "type looks different.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I appreciate your honest opinions, both + & -
For those of you who like it, you can get it at www.optauto.com. It was originally for a Japan Honda Prelude.

 

Yeh, and "badges" that aren't stock are ricey IMO.

I think you won this one because I bought my car in November. The good thing about going Rice is that you can always go back to NOT being rice.

 

Reminds me of the "V12" badge on the S600 Mercedes. I don't like it.

Toyo 235/45ZR17-97W* T1-S Proxes on 17X8 SSR Competition Wheels (47.2 lbs lighter than stock wheel+tire setup)
Comptech Sways
G-Tech (Full tank of gas, 60F, VSA off, SS) - 5.94 seconds
V-1 Hardwired

 

Tech: The ONLY reason I put those emblems on the car and at that location (one on each side) is that it remindes me of the "SS" emblems on a 1969 Chevelle 396-SS that I used to have. I guess it's for 'sentimental' reasons!!

NightHawk: I was not "racing" with you buddy. I 'guess' I was racing w/fabvsix!!

Just messin' around because I could not figure out where:

"I purchased my Black Type S in May 2000, immediately, purchased two stock badges and applied to the front fenders, I AFRAID I AM THE FIRST.....My car's production number is 187th car....
Ta Ta "

came from!! Peace!

 

Don't listen to all the haters.....I think is looks kinda cool.....both the silver and the gold car.it's diff. but not TACKY!!!! plus it's tiny. But if it wasnt a real typeS then I'd think it was riced up....So after hearing everyones opinion did u keep it on???????

------------------

 

Rice, but to each his own, if you like it, all the power to you!

You make a valid point. I'm still contemplating what I'm going to do with it but it's still on presently. I think that most people who don't know anything about our cars might think that's where it supposed to be. Who knows.

 

It does look like it belongs in the spot the gold cl had it. I have never seen the silver cars postion...like i said before it's diff and not tacky so keep it.
