Are you taking your wheels someplace to be done, or doing them yourself?

I wouldn't say 'rice'... that Porsche decal is the same type they put on the old 911s, makes me think of the RS. Call a 911RS 'rice', and you're in for a lot of people not liking you!
I think it looks good, but I also think it looks good without the decal.

You wouldn't say rice, but I would... as I said, it was in my opinion  The car might not be rice, but the decal certainly can be on it's own.
I just have never liked any decal with the make/model of the car on it. If the car is a track car or sponsored, then I can understand it. But on a daily driven car all it says to me is that the owner can either not remember what type of car they have, or they think their car is so important that they need to display to everyone around them what type of vehicle they are driving.
All in all it's a personal choice, but he asked for others opinions so I offered mine as well.

^^ Yep, and highly doubtful that that would be someones daily driver
But again! This is just MY opinion. I would never choose to put it on a car, and other than track or sponsored cars, I don't like how it looks. Never have, and probably never will  Just because a dealer does something, doesn't mean I gotta like it! Hehe!

Looking at the picture of your car, I hope those are magnetic decals you use for auto cross racing and not perminate pink decals. Looks really bad, in my opinion.

They are magnetic, and they are only on the vehicle while at an event, where they are required.
I've apparently hit on a touchy subject with you, and I apologize for that, but I really don't think this needs to start turning personal. An opinion was asked for, an opinion was given. You obviously disagree, so I think we are set to move on.

I respect your opinion, I was just commenting to everyone elses statements and yours by putting up those pictures just to let him no he was not alone. As for the last coment I was only messing with you. Not trying to start something.
