I had this look for about 2 years now, thinking about change the look on it

I must say, while I like the one I can read, stickers do not contribute to a grown-up look. Or a clean look. Unless they're REALLY bored, I can't see why they'de be after you, they're going to look for overly flashy obnoxious ricey loud (okay...) cars, that looks clean and late-model.

So... ditch the stickers. IMO.

And pleas, no "replica" rims, unless they're free.

Just so everyone knows...this is my opinion only on the 240 comunity in responce to this post.

#1. replica rims are fine..its what you can afford to better your car, im so sick of others saying you have to have 2k rims inorder to be a REAL 240 lover..screw that!..buy what ya like..rattle can them if ya like..it's your car!

#2.who gives a rats but if you have stickers on your car or not..thats YOUR CHOICE! , not anyone elses to make..do what makes you feel good! and do what YOU think makes your car look good to you..imports that are true JDM style are verry expressive to there drivers on a personal level (Bozaku style)..

#3. "Fart cans" i have one..its from ebay and i dont give a rats arse what people think..its what i like, i like a racecar sound and feal..i like the rumble at idle from my 272 cams..so keep your strait pipe and enjoy..your car looks great!

if more in the comunity would realize that life is short, and start looking there own way before putting someone down ..then we would be a better comunity in the end..

just my opinion!

I think you misread me a bit

I'm not saying to spend 2k on rims, it's just the poserish-ness of "replica" rims... it's like intentionally buying counterfit junk. I'm using my stock 4lug alloy wheels (not teardrop, the others) (in fact, unless I got a really good deal on really nice wheels, I'm planning on keeping them and polishing them up, I really like them) I'm not a wheel snob, there's fine generic/cheap wheels, I just think that it's a shame to pay too much money, and still not have what you're paying for. Just my personal opinion. (also, I love rattlecans but gold rattlecan on replica wheels? Why not drive a hotwheels car?)

I was just saying, since he said he wanted to mix up the look, and cops came into the discussion, that he's got a really good clean looking car, and that he could keep it looking great and maybe slide under the radar a bit better, without the stickers. Diagonal stickers promoting RWD over FWD are going to attract cops attention as someone who likes to go fast and/or race.

Ehh I have nothing against any type of fart you want to make your car make, but again, I was talking about it in relation to flying under the radar. It just seems fitting for a clean white car to be quiet, and would add to that car's fresh off the lot look, which would keep him less obvious to bored cops.

Overall, I was just saying, he's got a really nice looking car. One thing that kills s14's is people who try to make them more "aggressive", despite the fact that it's actually a mild looking car. If you play to that, you can still make it look scary, and smooth, at the same time. Just my opinions, I was totally complimenting his car. I don't see anything that's not to love, beats the hell out of my car.

The reason I want cobra R replica rims cuz. I like the way it looks, plus I change the look on the car every 2 years or so. Just something I like to do, and rims and tires will run me around 1k I think its worth it on my opinion, rather then spent 1-2k for used jdm rims then take them to shop get them repolish and clean plus new tires. I cant afford paying that every time. Its just everybody have different taste and look. Stickers i put them on just for the fun to make fun of my friend and his fwd car not that I hate on people with fwd cars just to make him mad, when I slide my car side ways in front of him lol. They coming off anytime soon. I want to repaint my car. What do you guys think should I keep its same or do new color of lime green like on new Camero

Good looking rims, I just hate the idea of giving money to someone who's selling a design that's not even theirs for a thousand dollars.... if that makes sense?

Personally, I think it's current color looks great.

Have you thought about a two-tone, with a cream/offwhite, accented with dark red (blood/crimson, but darker), or with a bronze or light brown?

I'm only proposing that because I wish I had the money or time to do it to my car. But I think it could look really neat, if you have nothing against 2-tone.
