The chrome pillar pix of my car

Hey if you like it thats cool. Personally I am trying to take all the chrome off of my car cause I hate it so much.

Posted by: Iwantmymarkback

Hey, I saw those sweet decals on your car, could I get me some of those?! I think that would boost my hp!!!

I'm just kidding man, they look pretty good, and I'm not for them at all.

Suprisingly, I like your chrome pillars, they look pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

Posted by: Dr. Paul

Looks okay. But the stickers suck bigtime.

Posted by: Calabrio

I think it's a nice touch...

Posted by: fastmarkviii

I like the decals it makes the side not so boring

Posted by: 04SSHD

not my cup of tea but nice work. I myself like to keep the amount of chrome down. Maybe just a few trim pieces and the wheels...

Posted by: MediumD

I kinda like the chrome pillar, since it matches the chrome 1/4 window surround. If the stickers said something like "Vortech" or "Turbonetics" then I'd like them too...

Posted by: Dominus

Lose the stickers. There's nothing noteworthy about an air filter and lowering springs. maybe a well-known full coilover system, but not some springs man.

If you like it that's all that matters my friend,

induviduality is what makes car customizing so cool.

If you like it that's all that matters.

i like it. if you look at the black pillar against the chrome window trim, it looks like it is missing something. i like the chrome.

Posted by: JoeyGood

Looks good i would lose the stickers on the body though.

Posted by: Calabrio

The stickers look good too- and they certainly distinguish it.

I would agree they do look good but just something bothers me about putting stickers right on the body but guess that's cuz i had a hard time taking off the AAA stickers that were on mine when i bought it. (Sitcker came off but the glue was a PITA)

Posted by: fastmarkviii

Yeah im not to worried about taking them off, when they come off the new paint comes on, but no one can say my mark looks like anyone elses and thats why it looks the way it does. As far as the chrome pillars if you look again take notice on how it makes the quarter window trim flow much nicer

Stickers = Rice

You have stickers. Therefore,

You = Ricer

Ricers make baby Jesus cry.

Posted by: fastmarkviii

yeah im def. the opposite of a ricer

Posted by: poneyhexed

actually it looks way better than I had thought it would. It is very tasteful.
I thought it was going to ring high on the bling meter !! I would not do it on my car but, looks nice enough that I would consider it if I where into chrome.
Does anyone do a mark sticker in chrome or gold flake.. that would look better down the side. if that is what you are into. But then again each sticker is worth about 5-9.5 horse each. DUDE !!! LOL
I am just into that sort of thing...

Posted by: fastmarkviii

haha u know it w/ the hp...

hey dr. paul lets see the pix of your car!

I think that's pushing the definition of ricer a bit too far. And at least he has the parts that the stickers denote.

And yes lets see some pics of your car Paul.

Look at all those stickers. Damn ricers.

Posted by: mespock

Pillars look ok.... Stickers well... That's a matter of opinion... But that's to each there own...

You guys keep picking on the poor Dr. LOL...

Posted by: Dominus

If his car is a stock MK8 with no stickers, then I already like it more. :shrug:

Posted by: Dr. Paul

My Lincoln doesn't have a single sticker on it,

My racecar does - they say "SCCA, ITE, Pro Autosports", and the obligatory FIRE and electrical cutoff stickers. All are required by the sanctioning bodies of the races. All 'sponsor' stickers have been removed since the first day I owned the car.

My silver car has all of the correct Saleen badging crap on it. However, I'm tired of all that and will be removing everything when it is repainted.

Telling people what brand of crap you have on your car is definitely ricer.

is it realy?

was i a ricer when i put flowmaster and edelbrock and k/n and such under the hood of my monte carlo? i mean it only ran as fast as the mark by the time i was done with it, granted the body looked like c rap while doing so....but atleast it had the balls to back it up.

pritty sure if you go down south youll see plenty of brand stickers on daily drivers that would whoop some sorry story on your cars. would that make baby jesus cry?

Posted by: NYC LS8

All it needs is an airplane type wing on the trunk and some gold tints, yo.

Balls? How fast, precisely, was said Monte Carlo?

I'm pretty sure you could find nice clean cars that could "whoop" them too. What's your point? There is ALWAYS someone faster.

Quote:

Yes. Stickers always make baby jesus cry.

Stickers are for contingency money, not showing off what brand of crap you have on your car. I have a folder overflowing with stickers, but none of them are on my car.

my point is "rice" cars can be respectable...atleast what you consider rice. I guess that means all nascars and top fuel cars are RICE. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY RICE WING ON THE BACK OF MY 4 SECOND DRAG CAR!

who said you could make up the rules?

Posted by: turborich

We can all do with our cars as we wish, I myself can't stand the "rice" look! The stickers, the large useless spoiler / wings, loud insect sounding exhaust, etc... When ever one of those cars pulls up next to me at a light I can be almost certain that an illegal alien is driving it! They can't stay away from all of the pepboys chrome do dads and shiny stuff. They also have stickers all over their cars, But that's their choice. just a poor one IMO!!!

I have a feeling baby Jesus is going to join LvC soon and give his opinion. Can't take Dr. Pauls word for it.

Sweet.

I guess Dr. Paul was right.

I'm not sure if it's ricer but to me it looks like crap.. Brand Stickers to are for those being sponsored and getting paid to advertise...

Those not getting paid and sporting brand stickers are just looking for approval.

To me approval is when they open the hood and look... If you need a sticker to tell someone what's under the hood those looking don't know what they are looking at.

No it can't. Even if it's fast, it still looks stupid.

You'll notice that I mentioned previously in this thread that stickers are for contingency money, not to tell people what crap you have on your car. NASCAR and Top Fuel use it for the former, not the latter.

I did. It's a rule, you didn't know?

Posted by: mespock

Yes, there is RWHP Gain with LvC Stickers... even more with Cobra Stars.

Where the heck is Boscobel? Meh, I'm not much of a road trip fan, that's what planes are for.

Actually, I'm thinking about selling the Lincoln in the next year or so, and buying another Mustang again for a daily driver. I really miss driving a stick shift.

Paul.

Posted by: torquemonkey

Boscobel Wisc. is about a 3600mi round trip from here. Yes, in July I flew up there for the meet.

Aside from race cars, nobody who has anything worth a crap in their car, advertises it on the body, aside from engine displacement.

Yes that's it... Show Down on Main street... It's about a Quarter Mile from the 4 way stop to the Park... We could have some rebel rousing street racing in Boscobel.. LOL... See if Barny is on duty.

We'll get pinks to sponsor the race... LOL...

I happen to like my LVC stickers, but they are on my quarter windows. does this make me a ricer? if you say yes I'm sending the LVC mafia to set you straight...

yeah ok buddy because I havent put 10,000 into my car....... Oh wait

Posted by: Dominus

I define value by the effectiveness, not by the amount paid. Springs and an air filter? Might as well advertise what kind of wax you use.

Funny how you never see a car with "Indy Cylinder Heads" and "Callie's Crankshafts" on it? It's always the cheesy little bolt-ons that have stickers the size of license plates representing them.

Posted by: ONEBADMK8

Althought that pillar piece isn't me I must admit it doesn't look half bad.

Bingo. I have stickers that say "Brodix Cylinder Heads" and "Oliver Racing Rods", but they sit collecting dust next to my autometer stickers just like everything else.

I don't think Mr. Wilson's car could hang.

I wouldn't bring my Lincoln.

The LVC stickers are small and discrete enough to not loot bad. I've almost considered putting a very small "AZ Mustangs" sticker on my car... I just can't bring myself to do it.

Ough!! Tool box art! Can I have them?

Since we are the subject; do Edlebrock, Holley, ARP, Flowmaster, Summit, Jegs stickers on old 50's~70's trucks count as "Cheesy Rice"?

As long as your older than the truck I think thats OK. But then your girlfriend must sit in the middle even if theres only the two of you in the truck.

Posted by: 94m5

I don't see any

s here. Opinions are being stated, but falling on deaf ears of the opposite party. I don't like the chrome strips myself, but they don't look bad at all.

I have only 2 stickers on my 95' and thats just the common LVC stickers in the 1/4 windows.

To each thier own.

When the racecar runs, there is usually the shop name on the car. But then, there is a benefit to me for doing that.

This is true. But then there is no glory in winning.
