So if I put a TRD decal, badge or logo on my Soarer would it be considered RICE or Nice?

it depends on a few factors. If you have a stock soarer with no mods its a bit rice but if you have a modified soarer with TRD mods (i.e. gearstick, brakes,steering wheel etc..) it looks more the part. |

no actual TRD mods. I didn't know there were any TRD parts for the Soarer. |

Pic doesn't look that nice. Maybe completely debadged with that TRD on the rear left. |

My opinion, Rice, not nice. Stickers are for little girls diary's, not big fast boy's toys |

I doubt TRD would endorse blocking a cold air path  |

Rice all the way. But I think that about body kits and stupidly large exhaust tips etc.... |

rice, unless you convince Toyota to do a line for Soarers.
Did you know the Yaris is better supported by TRD than the Soarer? What is the world coming to? |

M'eh i dont think its TOO bad. I dont mind subtle stickers just as long as you dont get a windscreen sticker that goes all the way across with TRD on it.
I have a windscreen sticker but its just plain white.. no logos.. kinda a sun visor i guess.... well that is MY justification

I like the the stock Soarer badges, it's still a rare car in this country so I like to show of a little. So no TRD. Well I'm as ricy as we get I guess. I have white pin stripes a body kit and 6" exhaust tips. |

Stickers that are non-sponsor related are rice, regardless of what car they are on. Might as well shave a logo into your head while you are at it. |

There are a few TRD products for soarers, mechanical L.S.D.s for one. |

Man there are some dumb videos on Youtube these days - lots of US Muscle Car boys wandering up to random Japanese car owners and harrasing them about being ricers, and then going on about how they "owned" them, when the poor Jap car owner just looks at them with a "WTF"? look on their faces. Lots of very racist comments too. |

Yeah James, but you can barely see it unless you were looking really hard. At least you didn't put a huge sticker, lol. Now, if that is rice...what about the ALSC stickers then? |

I really don't think that rice suits the soarer. It's a Grand Tourer in every sense of the word. The little bits of TRD are not bad as long as you have some developments to back it up. Just don't go splashing it all over the windows. |

That car is on e-bay right now. Should see the head lights. Both h/lights and high beam is black.
Asking 7K i think. |
