i-vtec sohc decal

I am planning on buying the i-vtec sohc decal that is on civic si's for the sides of my FIT was wondering what color I should get it in. I have an Orange Revolution and I was planning on getting the decal in white to match my soon to come white rims. Was wondering if people thought this color would clash or not look well on the orange. If not white I was looking at black or maybe even blue? Let me know what you guys/ladies think!

I am getting the decals from here:

i think anything but black would clash. silver might be ok.

just my opinion, i feell like anything i add has to be black because i can't see anything else looking right. haha feels like my car is ready for halloween

1. Why did you leave out the i ? was it just for preference?
2. I cant remember if you posted on my thread about white rims but would you be a hater of white on the orange....i had a comment from someone at work that said that it is perfect for Halloween the tint and orange...made me think i needed another color in there.

People rocking 2006-2008 Honda Fits only have VTEC. 2009 has I-VTEC.

Thumbs up

yeah 2009 gets the i-vtec

not a hater of white rims on an orange car.. the decal can still be black.. white and orange are both light colors and don't contrast well if they're right on top of each other. at least with rims the white would be set off because of the gap and black tires

that actually takes hp away. you need to add something (mainly...no only,) stickers to get the hp!

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the font changes from the earlier pics of the logo stickers(on orange car) to the later pics (on black car). LAME...

I don't think orange is dark enough to suit white lettering.

haha nice catch, its pretty subtle.. and anyone else wouldn't know the difference.

each is to their own when modding their car.

honestly those are probably the only decals i will ever put on my car, especially on the paint. i just wanted to add a little dynamic to the side of the car. i don't know what else i would do aside from a new body kit or side moldings. fog light mod isn't a big deal either, you don't want to use even low beams when it's really foggy and the way the car is set up to only have fogs on when the headlights are on is just stupid. even to just use fogs on country roads or tunnels is cool too, just not all of the time.

Hi,

just wanted to clarify, that I thought it was lame that the font's weren't replicated skillfully from the original art. Not, referring to the modding of a persons car. Everyones got their own opinions on that.

Happy motoring!!

Thumbs down

yeah some people are real assholes about that.

those people who want to bitch about one decal that goes on each side of the car that isn't that big or looks out of place or irrelevant when there are so many cars out there are actually rice like these that i took of some car on campus (of many like it)






gutterguard...

i guess we have to conclude that a couple of little decals on our cars is just as rice as that cavalier

so would one say that the Civic SI is a riced out OEM car? Due to a decal? I bought the decal cause it was said before; relevant, small, simple and adds dynamics.
