I like the big graphics but I am not really digging the smaller ones, i think the big side graphics are enough but good choice anyhow

I agree.
Although I like the bigger one,I would suggest it to be placed higher up on the car.
Little late now I know.
I really dont like the little sponser stickers.
Just my opinion,which u ask for.
But it doesnt look bad at all.

The sponsor sticker are not done yet I ordered them but have not got them. They will go all the way back along that same body line then some on the bottom over the stock lip kit. I think this may help even it out. Thanx for you thoughts its the first time I have ever had graphics on a car so I am still iffy about it.

It looks OK, I could go either way on them. Just make sure to take them off before the paint fades too much.

Are you actaully sponsored???? If not, lose the stickers. Unless AEM, Hankook, 5Zigen and the like are paying you or giving you something... they need to put lips to ___ and make the smack sound loud enough to hear. I'd never sport someone's sticker when I had to pay full price for their product (but, not everyone's ME, so power to you...)

The side graphic - that's ok, but you need a secondary graphic to finish it. My suggestion would be a darker gray/silver drop shadow along the bottom edges to bring it out. Trust me, it would totally change it without overwhelming it. (it's like pinstriping, nothing major, but without it a custom paint job looks unfinished and not thought out)

Where were you hiding I didnt see you out there I dont think it was so damm hot I dont think I saw much of anything I passed out in my car for like three hours. I have been thinking to changing them to something completly different but I cant make up my mind yet.

opinion and just that (opinions are like _______s...everyone's got one) so don't take it to heart:

YAWN!

Lame rice, generic rice look, replica of every rice on the road (already been way overdone)....it took away from the clean lines of the vehicle.....and killed resale value by 100 percent (even if you don't plan to sell it). Shoot for something original.

The wheels are sweet, sit'n nice and snug in the wells

Is that the new "street" way of spelling "graphics"?.....I think it's graphix, grafficks, or however ebonics indicates.

I call that ugly (most call it rice)

I call that nice. The only thing I dont like are the AEM & so on logos, unless you get paid by them to have it on there. Also dont like the ones on the front window.

Word of advice. Take them off before the paint starts to fade. I had silver vinyl stripes on my black Eclipse. After two years the vinyl started turning brown. The car was always parked in a covered garage at home and at work. Vinyl does not last. After taking the vinyl off you can still tell where they were. The whole car needs repainting now. If you like graphics try vinyl to see if you like it, Then have someone paint the graphics on.
