Whats up with everyone and graphics?

So who likes them and who doesn't. I pick out the same one the Pshy2g has (which everyone says is bad a$$) and people practically scream rice. So which ones look nice and which ones dont? Examples would be great.

i think it is because the graphic looks white in the pic but in life the vinyl is actually shiny and matches the rims nicely

I told ya already. Some look cheap and some will make you look twice or even more just to appreciate the details. A local dude has a yellow WRX w/ a graphic of Kenshin (Samurai X) a lot of the old people don't know what the hell it was but they said it looked nice... Yes it took up the whole right (passenger) side. The owner was blabbing about how he got it custom done or something...

I don't know it's just me, but if you want your car to stand out than a full body graphic would be the way to go. But it's your car so whatever...

off subject but why do you guys lower ur cars sooo much?! I really see no point in such height reduction, bad ride quality and fender rubbing...I do believe 1 to 2 inch is great as long as it's not too low u can't see ur whole tire..but that's JMO

bout the graphics, that looks settle...and it's ur car, if u like it screw what everyone else thinks

your car is stock. that graphic will look retarded. get some big rims, drop the car and get some sort of lip kit and finish it up with that graphic. i guarantee you that it will look out of place on a stock car.

look at pichy2g's car...... his car is done all the way and that sticker complements it.

your car is stock, it will look out of place.

civic2uner, your car looks clean now dude, don't ruin it w/ graphics. I'd suggest a drop and a lip kit and you'll definatly won't b mistaken for a stock civ.

I think graphix can bring out some cars. I went for somehting i've never seen. I have a body graphic, but i have no vinyl stickers on my car. I think painted graphics make it clean especially if the color combo is differnet than the norm like silver/blue or black/red. Check out my ride and tell me what you think.

Peace

If you MUST do graphics, might I suggest something on the hood...Like what? I dunno...but that would be different and still keep the clean look on the rest of the car...

Let's Brainstorm!!!
thanks for all the help! i have blacked my headlights since that pic. and yes lets brainstorm. pm me if you get an idea!

I am not a fan of graphics. Now, if you found a graphic you liked and had the design painted on, I would respect that much more.

*PHEW*

anyway about graphics:
im not a big fan of anything, i love clean lines. If you do want graphics put a small decal on your back windshield, or in a window or something. I just hate when people with red mitsubishi lancers with hubcaps have motegi racing, konig, APC, and eibach decals(sounds like i actually saw this car, huh?)
