" other ppl shouldnt tell you want to do with your car "

-Good call man. If you are the one paying for the sucker do what YOU want.

I agree w. 6shifter... if your car's actually fast, the definition of "rice" becomes much smaller. On any other car, our wing would be considered MAJOR rice! If you have a fast car and you display a part that helps with performance or is affiliated with your actual car and it's performance/heritage, then I think it's just fine...

I bought 2 ralliart stickers when I was at SuperAutobacs in Tokyo Bay. The smaller one ( the one on your trunk) I put on my snowboard. The bigger one says "www.ralliart.com" is huge and just sitting in my room. If I had a Montero or something I would put in on the back winshield but its not goin on the Evo.

do you call it badass b/c of the stickers??? or do you call it badass b/c it is actually TUNED by ralliart with ralliart parts??

hopefully its the latter

ask yourself this...would it be any less badass without the stickers?? NO would it be any less badass without the ralliart parts but keep the stickers?? YES

I wouldn't say its rice, but its definitely a huge "I want attention" type sticker. Since ralliart is Mitsubishi's official tuning company, its not rice if you have a mitsubishi AND you have actual ralliart parts. Putting ralliart on an evo is exactly like someone with an S2000 putting mugen stickers on, or someone with a supra putting TRD on their car. Putting VTEC or Type R on a regular civic/integra is rice between VTEC and Type R are actual indications of a type of engine/car, if you put a badge saying "FQ-400" or something along those lines, then it would be rice, it's trying to pass off a car as something which it is not. On another note, I've actually seen someone with an integra and an evo 5 body kit put ralliart on their car, in this case, I would be throwing rocks and yelling rice at them.

I wouldn't call Ralliart stuff on a Mitsu rice. I have a Ralliart radiator and oil caps, seatbelt pads and license plate frame despite not owning a Lancer RA. It's like Nissan's with Nismo stuff or a Spoon emblem on a Honda.

I don't particularly like the placement of the RA on the trunk, it doesn't look good there. My friend put the UK Evo 7 (minus the VII) on his Evo 8 which looks outstanding. Better than the 'clean' badgeless look. I think the RA sticker should stay at the top center rear window, with maybe matching sticker on the lower sides by the rear passenger doors.

Just don't listen to the people who call any and every mod rice. You want rice? There's a kid I work with that put a giant wing on his Geo Storm. RA stuff on a Mitsu, not rice.

First off I'll apologize for canabalizing someone else's photo, but I did a quick photoshop too try out a couple things.

A friend of mine sent me a couple ralliart stickers from HongKong and I've debated putting them on. They're pretty small (6"). What do you think of them on the front fenders?

Also, I'm thinking about painting my stock wheels. I've been shopping for wheels and I really like the style of the stock ones, just like the dark wheels, polished lip look, so I might try painting them. Opinions?

That looks pretty cool on the black actually, I like the contrast.

yeah, I kinda like it on the black too but I'm not sure if I want to put them on or not.

Any opinions on the painted stock wheels?

i would put a small one on the top left or right of the trunk, but it's your car and you should personalize it the way you like
