All my old Z31 300zx had turbo stickers from the factory and others did too. I'd tend to think they're more 'vintage/classic' for a turbo car than rice. Modern cars with turbos may have a little turbo badge on the hatch but certainly lack the in your face: "Oy! I've got a damn turbo in me" big decals from a few decades ago.

Turbo sticker isn’t my taste, but I feel like it becomes a “ricer” issue when your slapping that sticker on all 4 corners of the car lol

I think if you place it just like factory, you can't go wrong. Face it, like someone said earlier. You bought a Honda, there is a fair amount of Ricer in you. But that has evolved to mean many things. Rice to me is the addition or placement of parts / items that don't really serve a purpose, but pretend to be something they're not. Rice = an Si with a Type R badge. Non-Rice = Type R subframe placed on Si.

At the end of the day, it comes down to what you want to do to your car, it's yours!

I have them on my side skirts and I'm perfectly happy with them. A throwback to the older i-VTEC stickers on the Si was exactly why I did it.
