    Well that's what I would say, but you can see from his car that he doesn't agree. Therefore, he should do the stickerbomb! Heck, it's not my car.
    You can see his sticker pattern repeats very often...

    Sticker bombing is fun until you realize its stupid and you grow out of it and think, "what was I thinking?"

    Haha yeah, when I removed the stickers from my tiny rear view side window I had all the residue stuck on it on my old corolla and I never washed it off. Its probably still there with the new owner.

    Poor guy has no idea it still has COILOVER SLEEVES IN THE REAR, HAHAHHAHAAHAHAH.

    Yeah probably, the car looked stock anyways and I only told him what he waned to know which was that the motor and tranny were strong. He was set on buying it after 3 minutes into the test drive.

    No it doesnt. The fairing next to the mirror is a bit much but it still works. the lip i suggest doing either white or black and the gas cap definitely leave white.

    I like leaving the lips black cuz that area gets alot of beating, but if you paint it white the cars lower stance really stands out! :)

    considering u have that middle portion of the lower grill area painted black you might as well leave the front lip black. There are so many craters in my front lip from pebbles and debris hitting it. I can only imagine how bad it would look if i had a white lip on my car for whatever reason.

    Well I dont have a white lip but silver is pretty close. Before when I just spray painted the lip silver, yeah I had a ton of pebble hits and chips but now since I clear coated it its a lot better on not getting chips. So I guess it all depends on how you paint it. I always prefer trim pieces to match the car paint but its up to the owner.

    At first glace, I think it does. But rice is different for everyone.... IMO, rice is more of an attitude of the driver, and not the car itself. And you don't seem like a ricer to me... that makes your car cool no matter what.

    I just think rice is kitting the car just for the sake of kitting it and adding as much flare as possible no matter if it looks good or not..

    No, see rice would be doing that to your car, and then acting all bigheaded and like you're fast and a racer on the road, thinking you have a badass fast car cause your POS has a (even nice) body kit on it.
