I just wanted to post this topic as inquiry of what people think is "rice." So just post a reply of what your personal opinions of "rice" is. This way, we can all avoid criticism from others on the forum. Thanks for the participation!

A big muffler, stickers, and any over sized spoiler

Some things are better left unspoken... wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings ya know.

mep :x

stickers that either are pointless or not belonging on the car, such as "powered by honda" (now..unless it like the civic si with them trying to put a SR20 into it....it gonna be powered by a hunda)

Badges that dont belong on the car period, like a Honda Civic M(bmw mpower baby..lol)
mufflers that my head can fit in
cheep looking slap together body kits.
bad "scheme" as in color and syle what not
obcourse HUGE spoiler.

There is no specific definition to rice. Each person has their own view so there is no way to pinpoint it.

Example: I may see a girl and think shes fine, but my boy doesnt. So whos right? We're both right...the same goes with rice...it all depends on whos shoes you are in...

"One mans garbage is another mans treasure."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

"Whatever floats your boat."

"Fo shizzle my nizzle" :lol:

The best DEFENITION of RICE would be mine:

Rice, n. : n`certain parts attached (or stuck) to a car that give off an ILLUSION of a true fast sports car.

:lol:

:lol:


But with that definition theres alot of room for opinion too.

Example: I am going to put the M3 spoiler on my G. Is that rice? It does give the illusion that my car is faster.

Yes my friend, that is indeed Rice. Putting an M3 Spoiler on your G is indeed rice because it is clear that your car is a G20 and not an M3 ;) And you don't even have to be a car fanatic to know that the spoiler doesn't create power :p

If I need to take it a step further, it's about the same thing as putting a BMW emblem on your G, rice :cough: ... ;)

Stop plugging in synonyms into "trash" and creating new varations! The original saying is "trash!"

There is this older Civic at my school that has the BMW emblem on it along with the M badge on the side. things like that are rice.

I agree with the statement that rice can only be definited by a certain person. But my defintion is spoilers in general wheather they are big or small. I cant stand the spoiler on me touring and want to rip it off. Body kits the have too many holes with mesh or that have wacky line. I like my kits nice and smooth and simple. The last is the color just stick with normal colors like white black no lime greens or birght yellows or oranges. Stickers arent that bad but I cant stand when there is 50 stickers down the quater window or underneath the mirror. One or two is fine buit not alot. Oh and anything that does not belong on the car from the factory like no GTR badges on our cars or 240sx or hondas or body conversions, if you want certain headlights or tailights from another car when the hell dont you just buy the car.

no comment :cheeky:

I disagree. The spoiler is a M3 Style Spoiler, but it is made for the G. So then I guess in your opinion, any kit that is taken from a different car and molded onto the G would equal rice too right?

It is also completely different than an emblem. A spoiler is an accessory. An emblem is an idenity...

Hehe.. That's like someone saying, "I saw this car peel out..", but another person might call it a "burn out"...

Who's correct?? :confused:

Well that's nice that you know the difference between an emblem and a spoiler, but the bottom line is that the spoiler on the M3 (which you call an M3 SPOILER) was designed by BMW for the M3, their car; the BMW logo was designed by BMW, for their cars...

Other companies like Erebuni created an M3 STYLE spoiler which is clearly not made the same way BMW made it.. therefore, violation of the golden rule, putting something that doesn't belong on your car... RICE

It depends on which one originated first. To my knowledge, I think "burn out" was said first, so hence, it's the correct saying. Same deal with the phrase... One's man "TRASH,,," It was the original phrase and people started changing the word around.. The correct way of saying it is "One mans trash is another mans treasure."

GOT IT?!?!? :p

Seems like from what I read, if you mod your car and it looks a bit racy, then thats considered rice.....

Put a M3 spoiler on a g20= rice? I think thats just bad taste! not rice imo....

Putting badges or stickers that dont belong on your car= rice? Nah! thats just a bunch of retards that don't know any better, not rice imo....

from that post seems like any thing you hate = rice

When I think of riced out cars, what pops into my head are cars from the Fast and the Fieriest(sp?). Cars that been modded to look fast and can back it up thats what I call "rice"....

rice is stickers, spoilers, shitty tint, and the hudcap's with fake rotors.

Agreed. And to clarify, it's an M3-STYLED spoiler, which means it may resemble or be based on the BMW M3 wing, but it's meant for the G20.:nerd:

Now if a G had an actual BMW wing taken off a real M3, that's bad. Rice has always been hard to define. It's like music. EX:A lot of people who love rap and hip-hop would rather kil themselves than listen to country music, and vise versa. Is one *better* than the other? Of course not, it's just that each person has their preference. Now I would define *RICE* as a mod that's flashy, gaudy and serve no other performance than to get attention and a false sense of respect(Ex:GT-R badge on a Honda, 4-ft high wing on a front driver, insane paint job, etc).
Of course that's my opinion....:nerd:

a ricer is " i person that makes there car LOOK fast dont is not... meaning... stickers that they dont have parts to back it up, big ass wing, custom paint... sometimes a bodykit... with the only engine mod is an airtake with a big ass muffler..." thats what i think of the meaning ricer...

damnit Mr. WRONG, M3 STYLE OR NOT, it's based on the M3 spoiler.. and can we even say based here? It's the same exact looking thing!

Made for the G20, but copied from the M3 spoiler... equals everyone?... RICE

good children
:cool:

the true definition of rice is people who talk endlessly about rice and use it all the time as a negative comment toward someone with a car whose stylings they don't feel are tasteful. I think the whole "rice," "ricey," "ricer" comments are completely retarded and played out.

"Oo look, I watched The Fast and the Furious three times and then I heard someone say 'that's so riced out' and now I think it's awesome to describe everything I see as 'ricey' because it's so witty of me to refer to a machine from Japan as a food from Japan. Whee."

This thread makes me want to kill myself in the head.

Rice is dead...get another term.

please.

thanks,

in my opinion, "rice" has more to do with attitude.

for example, if you own a dodge neon and decide to slap on a type-r sticker cuz you think it looks nice. while you lack serious taste and judgment, there is nothing wrong with that. you are simply enhancing your car cosmetically to your personal preference.


on the other hand, if you own a dodge neon and decide to slap on a type-r sticker THEN you drive around the streets like a f-ing maniac yelling "yeeaahhh boyeee, you honduh owners better watch out, my type-r sticker gave my neon mad powah. when i get that huge ass kung-fu spoiler, all you mustang gt's are gonna have ur hands full..." then ur a "ricer."

i totally agree with you nelson. the term "rice" has been overused.

now its been misused to negatively describe what someone thinks is cosmetically stupid in his/her opinion.

if you want to put an m3 spoiler on your car, by all means do so. if you like the way it looks whats wrong with it?

just don't go around driving like a maniac, flaunting it, mad dogging people, and revving your engine in attempts to race just because you added the spoiler.

So then that would include anyone who has molded on a kit from a different car, anyone with the volvo sides, anyone with the Civic Si lip and anyone with a renault front or rear lip correct? But "rice" would NOT include neons that were definately not made ANY car...right?

Wrong. The M3 style spoiler doesn't exactly scream "M3". It actually looks a good bit like the stock t-package spoiler....which is clearly not rice since it CAME FROM THE FACTORY like that.

I think "rice" is a combination of excessive and loud cosmetic (read: doesn't make the car faster) modifications that try to get attention and a "Fast and the Furious" attitude that makes them want to do dangerous and stupid things. If you just put hideous cosmetic mods on your car, you may have bad taste but you aren't a ricer. If you take a stock car and try to race every other car on the street, you aren't a ricer but rather just stupid. It's the combination of these two factors that makes you a ricer.

I think "burn out" was said first, so hence, it's the correct saying.
wicked is talkin out his ass
were you there when it was first said did you create the saying
shut the hell up wicked

an M330ci is rice =)

Damn children... Behave and get along. Honestly I have not seen one G on this forum that was rice. To me Rice is what are on those Riceboy pages.

By putting stickers or big ass spoiler does not mean rice. We just have a filter in our mind that is saying F1 cars have stickers and big wings, that must be rice 'cause some dude put one on his whip.

I think instead of Rice we should just call it "unclassy." I personally think that a huge bitch spoiler looks like shit. Especially them aluminum wings. But to say it makes tha car look faster than it is, I disagree. My mind has been desensitized by looking at a spoiler like that and thinking that it is even slower than it is. So in that case to me it's not rice.

I am personally gonna put a graphic on my car. I have an agressive front bumper with mesh and gills. I have 19s. Am I rice??? Maybe, but am I unclassyy... Hell No!!!!!

So I can go on for days... My last question to all y'all that love the "Ricer" moniker. Help me out with this. Please give us all a "Rice" conversion chart...

i.e.

To put 19s on = cat back muffler = 135 w.h.p.
for a Body Kit = headers and c.a.i = 142 w.h.p.
for stickers and neons = cams = 147 w.h.p.

and so forth. I would like to know how fast I have to be going to modify my car cosmetically. I'm sure all us G drivers would appreciate all the "Ricer" afficionados...

Thanks in advance... Keepin it classy and Playalistic... Miles

What wicked is saying is that since Erebuni "named" it the M3 style spoiler, simply cuz it had a similar look, (and I think it is actually a copy of the Primera spoiler) that means that it is from a BMW and it is rice. Smart guy :tired:

Listen....

Rice is more about attitude than equipment.:confused:

I could give the aura of riceness to anything, even a Kenworth Cabover, if I simply rolled the windows halfway down, cranked the radio so everyone will hear, turned my ballcap around backwards, dropped my britches 'til my skivvies were exposed, and assumed the "rice position" as I drove:

The Rice Position defined:

a) Recline the seat until it nearly touches the rear seat cushion.

b) Lean your body toward the car's center so you can better see your vain self in the mirror.

c) Extend your left arm from your reclined position until your limp wrist is draped over the top of the steering wheel.

d) Your right hand should then be free to play with the volume knob so you can draw even more attention to your pathetic, pimply self.

:lol:

I never said that it's from a BMW, get your facts straight. It is clearly made from EREBUNI and given the name "M3 Style Spoiler." It's an M3 style spoiler because thats the f*cking description EREBUNI gave it, no matter how different it looks. If it was so different, why wouldn't they name it f*cking something else since its a copy of a Primera spoiler than. Correct me if mistaken, but didn't you design the new Erebuni site? I think you are just trying to back up your free M3 Spoiler since you do sport it ;)

And what's the point of posting the pic of my interior? Consider it rice, I consider it what I WANT TO CONSIDER IT.. NICE

as far as nismo goes, keep quiet son. I have been here longer than you knew the g20 even existed...

Man i need to rack all you animals up and lead you back towards the barn

Rice = washer sprayer lights, aluminum wings on cars that have no need for them, stickers, ugly body kits, big mufflers, neons, and of course the official Fast and Furious LED exhaust tip.

I don't think an M3 spoiler is rice because unlike some other wings its whole existance isnt based around making your car stand out like a sore thumb. It is supposed to flow with the existing styling.

Wow, Wicked, have ever pass trhu your mind that you might be wrong on some points? That not everything you think, is the correct thing?
I was reading this thread, and notice from all your post that in YOUR OPINION everything that is not Stock, should be called RICE. So, I guess, even any 17" wheel will make your car a Riced car. It does not make your car fastest, but it will look like.

Rice, you can't define what it is. It's just a point of view in most cases. What for you may be, for the other may be not.

Guys and gals, let's be civil and not have this thread degrade into a flame war, OK?=) The purpose of the thread is get some feedback on what some people consider *RICE*. It's one thing to give an opinion, but when people start arguing over a simple opinion, that's when things start to get ugly. That said, let's respect each other's opinion. We don't have to agree on everything, but at least we should be able to discuss it in an orderly fashion.:nerd:

Cool, now for those of who want an example for this topic, take a look at my G. I personally think that it is tastefully done and not too flashy. My definition of classy my be your definition of rice.(But then again, it is MY car, and I feel that I shouldn't have to explain why I did what I did on my car.:evil: )

I don't know...I don't think putting an M badge on a non-M BMW is that bad because it's still a BMW...it's like putting a Nismo sticker on your G. I saw a 740i Sport the other day that had the M badge on it, and it looked right for some reason. I wanted one right then and there....maybe someday...

i dunno how to even describe it, its like intangible, haha, it has a presence of its own:lol:

Actually ive never seen anything wrong with a lil debate. Its when folks start cussing each other out and mess is when its gone to far.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with spirited debate and opinion sharing as long as you don't put down the other side with stupid comments. With rational arguments you can share ideas and everyone benefits. Mud-slinging just makes everyone angry.

Alright guys,

First off, I am not always right nor do I believe I always am. I am just stating the way I feel. When so much information on a forum is being shared, some that haven't been proven, there is bound to be some arguments and debates. But you know something, debate is GOOD. It's good to see how people feel about a certain subject because it's always good to know other people's point of view on a subject rather than just your own.

Anyways, sorry everyone especially dsigns if you found something offensive. We are all a family here and just like family, we tend to have arguments. But in the end, we still will always love eachother right? lol :cheeky: (Not that it matters but I haven't been in a good mood the past few days and it probably did reflect on my responses. The girl who i just started dating decided she is not ready for a relationship yet and main goal is school, so yeah... I am so pissed because I was hoping this one was a keeper, half jewish - half asian, when do you ever come across that combo? sigh.. I swear me and my luck with women.. I think g-d just created them to show that even he makes mistakes :nervous:

Tell me about it.. and you all know that I'm Jewish too, this woulda been perfect! And get this, she speaks my language fluently and embraces the religion the same way I do. Damn, they say life goes on.. :-\

Rice, in my opinion, is adding something to the car that doesn't help the cars performance, doesn't fit right, or just doesn't belong, period. Maybe its just me, but i see no reason to have a huge wing on a 91 Honda Accord (for example). The car doesn't have particularly great aerodynamics to begin with, and you can't possibly say a flimsy piece of aluminum bolted to the back of a front wheel drive car is gonna do much. Also, any car that looks too cluttered is rice to me, i.e. Multi colored engine components, Contrasting painted dashs, stickers everywhere...

Then again, i'm more of a sleeper person.

I guess rice is just an opinion like you guys said. I always considered rice to be the act of ruining your car. I.E putting on an unpainted bodykit on your car, tinkering with your engine bay the wrong way, and having the wrong attitude too. I knew someone with a black eclipse GS in my area who bought his car a year ago when it was clean and simple. Now it has a white front bumper, grey primered side skirts, blue back bumper, and a red wing. Plus he did too much monkey tuning on his car and drives it around with it making weird noises. And his car has been like this for a few months now! Now say he waited so he could've painted all his components and tuned his car the proper way then it would've been nice even if most people aren't fans of the bodykit he chose. So I don't think theres anything wrong with crazy body kits and huge wings as long as you don't try to go racing everyone. And although it may not be my style, keeping it clean is all ya gotta do.

You're sick man! How could you think of something like that... LOL

All I really wanted in this thread was simple answers like...

APC windsheild banner, Skyscraping spoilers, Big mufflers, dorky lighting all around your car, like the little LEDs placed everywhere. Product stickers on your door, especially if you don't own a part from that company.

It is just your personal point of view. No need to quote the last person and correct them because "rice" or "unclassyness" is different in each persons view. So just let the people express what they think instead of having a quote war about.

those windshield wipers with fins

an exhaust tip that’s only purpose is to make a weird buzzing noise or one that lights up

those seatbelt pads that say Honda in Japanese

Now you know i just HAD to quote you. :lol:

Ok, my opinions. I dont think aluminum wings look good, dont care for leds in place like rims, exhaust or other places, neons look decent under show cars as part of the show, but not while driving, primerd body kits that dont match the car and dont really have any plans on get painted anytime soon...

I think huge spoilers and huge exhausts are simply a matter of preference. Im not a big fan, but alot of the UK guys have huge spoilers and I dont think any of their cars are "ricey"...

It was unsaid, my fault, that all of those as a combination are ricey to me

You have no idea, I seen something today thats amazing...in time yall will see...;)

I think “rice” is just another term for tacky or distasteful.

So what if a car had lots of wrong stickers and emblems, too-large-mufflers, neon-green paint, etc, but also had a very well tuned motor that is delivering lots of power – to back up it’s looks, so to speak?

It looks fast, but is fast, so is it rice?

Lol a mix of rice & bagels!! hehehe. We're just "friends" now, maybe more than that later on, but it won't be a while, and who knows if I will still want more later you know ;)

You guys are so funny. I havn't laughed so much in weeks thanks. But you guys are all wrong! RICE is what us Puerto Ricans eat 7 days a week with our beans and Chulettas. Also when you go to the Chino's and order Pork Fried RICE. :lol:

That's my opinion hehehehehehehehe

Beaterz.com simply rice section. Nuff said.

UK car owner here !!

ive just bought a new spoiler (still to be fitted)...


http://images.cardomain.com/member_img_b/293000-293999/293375_28_full.jpg

and I know of another 6 UK cars that have hooge spoilers on too, ranging from Subaru EVO spoilers, to Honda type R spoilers, to Mitsubishi Evo spoilers.

and i know ones with graphics down the side... (and we have just completed a group buy for LED undercar lighting kits too), we've got cars with bonnet (hood) vents you wouldnt believe..... and big exhausts (you should see Snowy's P10 !!) including mine....

and you should see Kev Sheks complete car!!

at the end of the day... its up to personal taste.... all the UK cars are getting noticed like you wouldnt believe which only strengthens the number of owners of the Primera and gets more people taking an interest in the owners club... just look at our membership numbers and the numbers of people that attend the meets.... not bad for a club thats only been running for a year.

one of our problems is that we cannot get aftermarket bodykits and parts "off the shelf" so we have to source bits from other cars to fit them to ours

Maybe your ideas over in the states are a lot different to ours... but pop over to www.NPOC.co.uk (like some of you have already done) and have a look at the cars.... and i bet you change your ideas of what looks "ricey" on the g20 and Primera

In time all will be revealed ;)

i was just wondering if it was the same side-on ones he sent me, he sent the front on ones but there was a problem with the file

according to me./.. if u put an m3 spoiler on a g or whatever spoiler or body kit whether from a ferrari or bmw its only rice if it dusnt fit properly and looks outta place.. otherwise its cool if u get the right fit

can rice be import and domestic...

So if I was to put a body kit like a impul (I think thats what its called) and drop the car with some 17's but with no engine mods that would be rice? If so that makes no damn sence. How about if I just wanted to make the exterior of the car look nice but not the outside? I mean im a married man with kids I dont need a race car. Just something to look at and say wow I have a nice looking car. What is wrong with that. Just wondering :)

wanted to make the exterior of the car look nice but not the outside?


i dunno bout u all but that didnt make sense to me.. want to make the exterior nice but not outside? what do u consider exterior and what do u consider outside cause its the same to me.
lol

yeah i agree with u.. thats not ricey to have ur car look good but not have the punch but i prefer engine 1st then appearance..
ricey is unmatched or cheap looking like white plastic kits on black cars cause they cant afford to paint em

I think he meant interior when he said exterior.

Again, Rice is a term that has no meaning. Im sure it came from the fact that there were some asians who called themselves racers but someone decided to call them ricers instead, so the statement seems pretty racists to me.

Anyway, there is no definition, simply said, whatever doesnt look good to you can be ricey...to YOU, but opinions should not be imposed on others as fact...

Opps im sorry guys didnt make any sense there I was pretty tired at the time :) But I meant hook up outside of car but not the inside(engine) but ya know what I meant ya just want to keep the fire burning on this thread.




J/K :lol:

Hey y'all... I guess none of you "Rice Cops" have made me my Rice chart yet?????

Hey Casey read my post dawg... You're a GURU why don't you hook me up dawg...

Hey buddy this is what I wrote in my first post... Check it and why don't you hook me up bad man.... Read my chart and enlighten us dawg...




Damn children... Behave and get along. Honestly I have not seen one G on this forum that was rice. To me Rice is what are on those Riceboy pages.

By putting stickers or big ass spoiler does not mean rice. We just have a filter in our mind that is saying F1 cars have stickers and big wings, that must be rice 'cause some dude put one on his whip.

I think instead of Rice we should just call it "unclassy." I personally think that a huge bitch spoiler looks like shit. Especially them aluminum wings. But to say it makes tha car look faster than it is, I disagree. My mind has been desensitized by looking at a spoiler like that and thinking that it is even slower than it is. So in that case to me it's not rice.

I am personally gonna put a graphic on my car. I have an agressive front bumper with mesh and gills. I have 19s. Am I rice??? Maybe, but am I unclassyy... Hell No!!!!!

So I can go on for days... My last question to all y'all that love the "Ricer" moniker. Help me out with this. Please give us all a "Rice" conversion chart...

i.e.

To put 19s on = cat back muffler = 135 w.h.p.
for a Body Kit = headers and c.a.i = 142 w.h.p.
for stickers and neons = cams = 147 w.h.p.

and so forth. I would like to know how fast I have to be going to modify my car cosmetically. I'm sure all us G drivers would appreciate all the "Ricer" afficionados...

Thanks in advance... Keepin it classy and Playalistic... Miles

well i dont really use the word rice...... but i would say your car is the complete opposite of that, you have put alot of time into your car, it looks very well done, clean and not just thrown togather, it was obvious that you had a plan to your car before you started with it......... and that is exactly what i respect about you and cars like yours, the time/effort/care put into the car. speed has nothing to do with the term "rice".

if i were to define rice...... i would say it is a term that people use to belittle cars they dont like....it has no definition to me, it is just "slang" to put down some ones ride.

and rather than looking at the mods them self i would look at the time/effort one has put into it..... i have seen alot of cars i dont really care for, and would never buy, however i see that the person who owns it put alot of time into it and that they planned everything out, and i will definately give them props for that

as for you ethan, props on your car, and props to everyone else on here, because i have yet to see a car on this board i have disliked or deemed "ricey".......im off to bed fellas take care

appears that ended that

Shit, not for me Casey... I just spent an hour reading this damn thread. I'll tell you... parts of it made me pretty mad, some parts were funny, and some parts were sad... Don't like hearing all you guys talkin smack like this:

A stock G20T spoiler is basically a M3 spoiler with a center post. So, to put on a spoiler, but one that is missing the center post, is rice? By that standard, better leave all the G20's stock, NOBODY CHANGE A THING!!!!!! IT'S RICE!!!!! Personally, I hate the term rice... it's gay... shows a lack of vocabulary... and most of all, it's racist in my eye... glad this thread cooled down before I got here... cause I was angry in some parts... :sleep:

altezza lights are the essence of rice.

if a ferrari 550 had altezza's, i'd stil call it rice.

they're a baby blue accord with white rims and BMW logo. that's rice. once he took off the BMW logo, it looked pretty nice and i would NOT call it rice.

i guess you could call the "illusion" of speed is rice. bodykits and rims could be considered rice...but only if they're outrageous

is it just me or is this thread going in circles or something

Just a side note. The M3 spoiler is a copy of the Altia spoiler which is made for the G20. I just remembered... ;)

So how about a Lexus with Altezzas? Since it was their design in the first place. And who determines which bodykits & rims are outrageous? Everything is all an opinion...

Exactly, leave the Altezza Lights for the Lexus. Violation #143 of "The Ricer Handbook".. don't imitate something your not :p

I think we should stop with this rice thread already. If you think it's rice, then it's rice to you. Some people may agree, some may not. Not everyone in this world agrees on the same thing you know ;)

LOL...nope, but I did get the Altia spoiler. :lol:

aww so i shouldn't get one of those big spoilers or cf spoilers on my G20? DOH :*( (if i ever did, i wouldn't be doing it for speed, but for exterior appeal anyway) :knockout: :knockout: :knockout: :knockout:

well said G-ealousy.

now i know you all have G20's and are arguing about whats rice and whats not. although noone will even bother to listen to what i have to say im gonna say it anyway. I OWN A HONDA...uhggh there i said it, its pearl green, with red/clear tails, halo projectors, aluminum wing, black hood, 16' rims. now im selling this as soon as i can. you know why? well eversince F@F came out moding your car became a fad! wtf? all that work i had done to my baby was currupt. no every other kid and his brother think they know everything about cars from watchin F@F. Now i admit some of those F@F cars are nice, but its become a giant "NEW THING" and its disgusting. Im in the process of selling my "riced out honduh" for something that truly is a work of art...THE Beautious G20! well anyway the whole "rice" term or (please excuse me im not racist) "jap'ing out a car" i think is the large fad that has came over just about everyone. Consider yourselfs lucky to own such a masterpeice as the g20 is. I mean i thought my car was cool as hell when i got it. then F@F came out and then it was just like everyother stupid civic out. it completly killed my love for the car. Be LUCKY the G20 hasnt been tainted by the plauge of adolesent teens and their "rad bodykits" Once i get rid of my civic and get into a sweet and lovly G20 (wich is just amazing stock) i might do a few things minor. but i wish that the G20 is never plagued with the F@F stuff. all your bikering and you forgot that you all are very lucky to have such a pure car!i have yet to see a bad looking car on this page. now if you look at my car, i gar-rontee that 95% of you will think "RICE" cuz thats what it is. when i look at your cars i think "BEAUTIFUL WORK" i guess thats about it.


PS: btw anyone want to buy a 94 civic ex? its cheap!! lol

This thread is funny. I call my car rice all the time who cares what it looks like as long as the person driving it likes it. But i don't put anything i don't need such as the huge bird killer on the back (wing), and all the lights. the last thing i need is to get pulled over because i look like a club on wheels. well it's been fun but i'm gonna take the rice out and get some taco hell.......late

Any car with a wing that appears to be built out of "Erector Set". Erector set example:
