Rice sticker??

I just bought my 07 type s (NBP) last week and a friend of mine has SOHC VTEC decals he thinks would go good on the sides.
I have never gone any further than dark window tint on any car, even my Prelude, and I feel the type-s is an already made beast they way it is. But I've actually found myself contemplating it.
Please somebody either shoot this down and get the thought out of my head, or tell me that it's OK.

OK good, I was wholly feeling it. I guess we'll keep to the honda instead.

Hey, pardon my ignorance but what does the flame mean?

you get 'flamed' whenever you have a stupid idea that has been covered before thousands of times. people tell you to put your flame suit on, so that you're prepared for the comments you're about to receive.

Yeah, because SOHC VTEC stickers on the side of your car has something to do with how beast your car is

Type-R decal is where it's at.

Agree..TL is not ricer car..

but others still believe on the following..

5 stickers = 5 hp
10 stickers = 10 hp
20 stickers = 20 hp

just keep it clean as possible.

Na bro. You've stepped it up, keep that beast clean, and mean. No Stickers, no plate frame, no unnecessary, non-functional bullshit. Acura TL's are gorgous cars, and I believe putting anything like that on the body defaces the sexy design of this epic creation.

I think it's one of Acuras' best masterpieces - and I'm proud to own one.

Let me guess... your friend drives a civic? Perhaps a accord or some other notorious riced out import maybe?

15 WHP per sticker.

Totally worth it.

This is the only example of a VTEC sticker that I've seen on a TL. It's not terrible but it's not something I would do.

It's on the passenger door for all of you blind people.

I said the same thing when I bought my 3G TL in '06. That didn't last long after hanging around here.

This "SOHC VTEC" sticker certainly doesn't look ugly, if we are talking about its color and style.

However, it is somewhat pointless to tell others you have a SOHC vtec engine under the hood. If you have innovative/cool features like DOHC turbo, SH-AWD, or SULEV II, there may be some reasons to have a decal on the door.
