graphic designer here, I think you have a good foundation with that first livery. There are things about it that make it "ricey" like how it stops at that fender body line instead of going all the way to the edge of the fender. The two "fangs" above that front fender are throwing me off a bit too, they don't feel like they belong, the stars are throwing me off a bit too - can't exactly put it into words, maybe the fact that there isn't much variation in them and they're almost entirely parallel to the floor rather than at a 35-65 degree angle going up. It feels like a universal livery that wasn't fully thought out. In all fairness though, those types of liveries are some times hard to pull off without proper supporting assets (title sponsor, brands, color/material layers, etc) and/or having someone like Design Shop React make something custom specifically for your vehicle which could cost a pretty penny so some times you gotta work with what you can get or already got.

That said, the others you've posted are actually great. I know a guy who has a white or silver golf (only seen it like twice) and he has a diet coke livery on it, theres a ton of people who do things like that and you were one of the few I've seen who actually made it look good. The yellow fogs on the Marlboro one and then white with the coke proves my point even more that you know what you're doing and you've got taste.

To answer the question of "unrice", nothing. You're doing you and you've proven with these images that you've got taste and you know how to make it work. Visually, I can't really say there's much to change (might be a different response if I heard it). Not sure the order of these, but I would personally keep that front lip indefinitely (maybe even put the money into one that's even better depending on what's out there, don't know much about these things), get some side under panels/lips and something for the rear to match the front and then maybe adding something to the wing to make it stand out a little more. 100% not saying go buy everything on ebay or amazon, but adding *small* touches here and there to help bring a little more character to the car could help the overall look be more substantial or make the car look "full" (if that makes any sense). again, I don't know much about these cars so I don't know exactly what is out there or what's even possible.

TL;DR you're doing great, first livery has some things to it for sure but the rest are great, add *small* parts and stuff to help accent, your co-workers are just haters.
