Default body graphics for my new nautical blue tc

i just purchased an 06 nautuical blue tc, and i got the pedestal spoiler and billet grille so far and was thinking of maybe putting some body graphics on the sides. im not sure what color would go good with the blue though. any suggestions?

i swear if you put stickers on the car (stock no less) I'll find you, why is it people have an itch to disgrace these cars and end up making a ____ty stereotype for enthusiasts as ricers.

^ A little brutal for my taste.....

But... I do agree that vinyl graphics on the side of any street car is a little overdone and now not the best way to go.... The worst I've seen is the samarai graphic in the tC commercial... makes me cringe everytime....

Subtle........Subtle........

I say as long as you keep the graphics simple, you won't ruin the car. Now if you throw some sticker up there with some "overlord" lookin dude with his sword showing what direction your car points, then you've got a problem

I have big adidas leaves on the sides of my car in metallic silver with the 3 stripes above the side skirts. I think it looks good and thats why I did it. And I don't even eat rice!

LMAO. Sorry, but I agree - not necessarily with the hunting part, but I know that was tongue-in-cheek

This is before I tinted the windows, put on my rims, H-techs, exhaust and black billet grill.
It actually looks better in person. You really can't see the scribble design that well in this photo, but whatever.

I've seen worse. Unless someone is paying me to put that stuff on, it will never happen - and even then, no.

As far as tis stuff goes tho, this is not too bad.

Not Hating.... But what does Adidas and tC have to do with each other?

it's not "Ricey", but I really don't feel it at all... seems too out of place for the car...

Go with Subtlety in vinyl and keep the look with the lines of the car... and it should look nice, but keep it with the car... our tC has nice lines... try not to detract from them with something over the top.
