Wait... What's that on the bottom of your door? OMG. Sticker Boy.

Well, at least its color is subtle, but damn that's a big thing. What does it mean? Splain it to an old man, buddy.
Uh damn haters. First of all I didn't like that it was this big either but I gave it a try , second of all VIBE Motorsports is a wheel vendor and not only out in California from whom I have received partial sponsorship on my new wheels, hence why I have their sticker and I'm okay with it as the color is subtle and on an angle not even seen. You have no idea how much faster the car feels, butt dyno approves, about 15hp more per sticker since these are pretty big

So John if you ever get sponsored you maybe will understand how the whole thing works

No, it's Rochester's wheels that are similar to these but in fact these look much better and surprisingly they're light from what I was told !

Uh oh, did you just go where I thought you did

BTW, agree w/ Venom on just the right amount of orange, IMO you couldn't have struck a more perfect balance, that orange dash on the headlights is brilliant. Only slight change I'd make is doing this in orange (rather than green) on your grill badge, IMO it would continue the subtle accent theme

Yes I did since Rochester is busting my ***** right now too I agree Brad that would look good and I would change it to what you're suggesting, however the painted emblem chips so easily from all rocks so I'm sick and tired of it and I'll end up getting an emblemless grille vinyl wrapped like this one, my orange emblem itself has already like 4-5 rock chips and it has been professionally painted

...unless I get it painted like that somewhere and then have it wrapped in clear vinyl. Wonder who would paint it that way for me though

See, all I saw was the word Vibe, so I didn't know what to think. Could be some kind of K-Pop boy band, or whatever you kids are into these days.

It's all good John, no harm done, I knew you'd be the first to flame me anyway. I'm not all about stickers trust me but I really don't think this looks bad, it's subtle plus that's how sponsorships work and I do agree the Motorsports letters are not visible from afar in the picture especially on an angle.

Looking nice Mike!

The color is subtle against Graphite, and assuming the sponsorship is righteous, fine by me, man. I never said it was lame, just that I didn't know what it was.

You know, Mike... Seventeen is coming to the Prudential in Newark this Summer.

Guess who has two teenage daughters? LOL

Yeah the color is subtle indeed, hence why I actually put it on.

I don't even know what Seventeen is besides that it's a number, what the hell is that?

Thanks Mike! Yeah it's not really that noticeable but of course it had to be John pointing that out, who else... Not surprised about that at all

When is the shift **** going on? Can't wait to check it out and get mine!

Don't mean to be jerk, but having hard time imagining how a LED bar like that would be at all necessary for regular driving.

Looks odd, and even worse, looks like it might be detrimental to vision of other drivers (either oncoming or in front of you).

Other stuff looks nice though

Yea these are legal as long as you aren't blinding on-coming traffic. The area where I live there are no street lights on the highways or local roads, so this was more of a functionality mod.

I actually am a Volunteer Firefighter and the light bar is installed due to the area where I live and service there are no street lights on the highways or local roads. It won't be most people's cup of tea, but there's a functionality reason to have it installed vs some of the members we have that will try to load up their vehicles with as many different lights as possible.

Also light is on a switch so unless I need it won't be on.

Gotcha, cheers for volunteering

Gotta admit though, I've driven in a few remote areas w/o street lamps, and never had I felt the factory headlights were inadequate to drive safely.

But you're in a bit of a different situation I suppose, whatever floats your boat..
