Vtec Decals

So im looking for cheap easy mod's to do during this insane weather and I remembered every time I see a Civic Si i love the i-Vtec decals on them. I found them online and I think they would look great on my WDP TL. Heres a link. http://www.prostreetgraphics.com/car...ivtecdohc.html What do you guys think about that, and where should I put them?

Don't do it.

But, if you do, I'd cut the "i" part of the "i-VTEC" out, because our cars aren't i-VTEC, only VTEC.

Here my decal

SOHC VTEC

No Ivtec crap. That for 4 banger.

My suggestion is leave your TL alone. UR car is a luxury car you don't want to draw too much attention from those ricer civics and teggy

I only did that too my car because no one knows that honda makes accord v6 6mt in sedan. muahah

up close

I don't know if I would call putting a sticker on your car a mod. Maybe an advertisement.

I think most people who have AcuraZine stickers had them custom made. As far as the VTEC sticker. I vote no. Just doesn't belong on a TL. But, like they say...to each his own.

They are given away during our annual holiday charity drive (which is now over). If I get any extras- I will PM you and give it you for free.

Here it is:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/well-i-thought-i-could-keep-stock-heh-739802/

It's only one picture, but you get the point.

I don't think it looks terrible, but it's nothing I would to my TL

I know your still a teenager and teenage boys tend to do some goofy things, but seriously man, dont put some stupid stickers on your car.

if anything i would maybe remove the trunk badges, but dont add stickers. you could also get some headlight/taillight tint and work on that. stickers will take what, 5min tops to apply and then you now have to go through life with silly sticks on your car...which wont do anything positive for your paint either. leave them off and spend your time detailing the inside or something. or maybe swap out all your incandescent lights for leds...now thats a great and simple mod!

If you really want it, put it on and see. You can always just peel it off if it doesn't look good.

I agree man. People here are funny, quick to say "NO, Rice, This is a TL".... yet i see tow hooks, vents, led strips that belong on audis and so forth. Like Enigmaos said, try it, if you don't like it, peel it off and if you do, rock it with JOy.

It's you who has to like your car.

Stay away from the roof overlay is crap. I got mine for free and it didnt fit at all. There was a gap around the sunroof and around the XM antenna. After a while i got fustrated and it ripped. I still have the right side just sitting around. Its a 2 peice split right down the center

Haha im using the I-Vtec as more of a reference to where it is on the civic. I would just use a vtec sticker in the same place it is on civics. Im thinking about it guys, ill post pics if i do it. Does anyone know good sites for decals for cars? I one of the "shocker" ones haha
