i don't think i'm digging it. red emblem might look good on it's own but i think the mirrors are too much. do you have some more angles?

sevi21 05-26-2013 11:44 AM

I can take some more today. I'll post them a little later

ozne99 05-26-2013 12:03 PM

I'm confused with your use of the word "awesome".

sevi21 05-26-2013 12:26 PM

Different Angle. Its definitely different, i like it

@sevi21 yea sorry man. doesn't work for me. for example, it reminds me too much of this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rudolph-Ligh...-/350413260570. not trying to be mean, but just trying to help you kinda understand why i and likely others don't/won't like it. but yea, it's your car so it really doesn't matter as long as you like it.

i like the wheels a lot btw

boredom.is.me 05-26-2013 01:38 PM

Just another case of one of those things that doesn't belong.

tuckdaddy 05-26-2013 01:47 PM

Kill it before it breads.

To each their own i guess

sevi21 05-26-2013 01:56 PM

Haha it's funny because My wife said she doesn't like it like she thought she would. .. said it looks like Rudolph lol

ramiram1984 05-26-2013 02:20 PM

The fella is tryin to be different and stand out. Let the guy haha.

BlaineWasHere 05-26-2013 02:21 PM

The problem is it needs more red to tie it in, it should be the accent to a large red, not the only red.

FRSfan111 05-26-2013 03:11 PM

I think if the rims were the same shade of red it might pull it off better.

ilpad 05-26-2013 03:42 PM

red rims and youre golden.

Mild2Wild 05-26-2013 03:45 PM

I like the mirrors not the emblems tho. And yes maybe if the rims had a red accent it might be more tied together.

tuckdaddy 05-26-2013 04:15 PM

I think with his WHEELS, they would look really odd with a red rim.

phloozy 05-26-2013 04:44 PM

Not a fan of the emblems but the mirrors and side accent aren't bad

Nothing wrong with a little Rudolph.
In fact, tenderloin of reindeer is an incredibly tasty treat when cooked to a juicy medium rare.

Richard Cranium 05-28-2013 09:21 AM

I think it has potential! It's been mentioned, but I think more red is needed to tie it all together. You should add red accent along the bottom of the doors similar to the Porsche GT3 and get back to us...someone here has done a black stripe on SWP/whiteout and it looked very nice.

#87 05-28-2013 09:23 AM

Add some more red accents elsewhere and it will look really good

As it stands right now its kinda of meh tho

whaap 05-28-2013 10:28 AM

LOL. At Least it's plastidip which is easy to remove!!

chenshuo 05-28-2013 11:39 AM

PlastiDip should only belong on a Civic.

Rayme 05-28-2013 11:48 AM

Ricy imo. You car was great the way it was before!

Marcoscrdo 05-28-2013 12:10 PM

Put it back to normal, but try just dipping the rims.
:thumbsup:

The entire wheel or just the rim of the wheel? Could be confusing for some.

It looks pretty cool too me. Be original I say!! GJ

Sco2355 08-28-2013 01:43 AM

I think the mirrors looks cool, but hate the emblems. As mentioned before it has that GT3 RS look to it. Just needs a bit of red somewhere else.

yah since then i took the red off the emblems, but its still on the mirrors.
Ive gotten used to it haha

SortaFlushed 08-28-2013 03:13 PM

ehhh not diggin it too much tbh.

ST185RC 08-28-2013 03:27 PM

Is Santa delivering toys in an FR-S this year? 'Cause Rudolf got upgraded.

ftc~brz 08-28-2013 03:32 PM

do the roof too and see if that helps tie it in….worse case peel it off right?

BRZSTIAZ 08-28-2013 03:33 PM

Dont let these people get you down. If you like it, thats all that matters. Thats what is great about customizing cars, you can do whatever you want and make it your own.

Wheel Finish
 
[QUOTE=sevi21;960903]Different Angle. Its definitely different, i like it



The look is awesome dude! What color finish on the wheels? Hyper Silver or more like a matte gunmetal look? Hard to tell from the pics!


Like the plasti-dipped mirrors for sure!
