Default No more ghetto car numbers for Rice (pics inside)

You guys can't make fun of me anymore. At least not for my rusty, mixed-font, half-tape / half-magnetic, ghetto-*** car numbers. East Coast Honda Challenge sponsor Raceworks shipped me my semi-official graphics a couple days ago. Here's what they look like.

Picture quality is decent, will get better as I learn how to use this digital camera...

Before Raceworks came to the rescue:


After Raceworks came to the rescue:


Different view:


Hood number, and my hella tizzite brake ducts:


Here's a few more pictures of some stuff. Can you tell I just bought a digital camera?

In a moment of Martha Stewartness, I put up Christmas lights on the house:


My garage. Notice how fast the beer fridge must be with all those stickers. Also featured - the compressor, the bright-*** halogen lights (overhead and standup), a bunch of tires, and the new propane powered heater...


With an exhaust tip this size, the Suburban's got mad skillz


That's a lot of frikkin' lugnuts:


Happy new year everyone...

Nice Shots shultz,

And thats the infamous suburban you told us about? With a coffee can sized piping like that maybe you should run it on the track?

Looks good

Good luck,

A.

PS what rims are you running there in the first PIC?

Karl, looks nice, BUT, having worked timing and scoring before, I can tell you those front numbers are really quite miserable to read @ dusk. Something brighter like yellow or white would be good next time. Don't do red/black, that's impossible to read.

Nearly all sign shops can make vinyl numbers for your car for less then $40?? Plus they also sell the magnet material for your sponsers and other stickers.



Don't be ghetto, be smart!! =D

Enkei RF-1s, 15x7. They used to be silver, they got ruined with brake dust. So I spent three bucks on some barbeque grille paint and sprayed 'em. From a distance they look OK, but up close...(shudder...)

Looks pretty spiffy there Rice.
Where's the windshield name?
And Raceworks did an amazing job matching the "Shultz Blue." Nice.

I'm not gonna miss the old numbers, but I am gonna miss making fun of them.

Time to go sponsor hunting huh?

I'll have to look into that. Once I unrolled it, I realized they sent a windshield banner-style name, not a plain old die-cut for the bottom. Probably a miscommunication on my part.

Indeed it is.

Uh, yeah....based on those last few pics....I think we can figure out that the camera is new! Can I ask, how many batteries have you used already!?

Seriously - good deal on the cam and good to see the car's a little more legit now!
