why are people here so conceited? just because not everyone has money to do everything at once you call them stupid ricers. maybe they had enough money to buy a kit but are saving up for paint and wanted to put it on their car to see how it looks. at least he has a kit. or maybe hes waiting on more parts to come in so he can just paint it all at once and save money and time. is it stupid to save money and time? wow i guess im living in the wrong place if it is.
is somethign stupid just because you dont like it? am i stupid because i buy neon lights? am i dumb because i like vertical doors? am i gay because i put stickers on my car that you dont like? if lambo doors were so lame then why are they making a grip off of them?
maybe there is something im missing here, like this is only a certain group of people that you dislike that happen to have these mods, but from your wording that is not what i think you mean. it seems to me that you think anyone who doesnt like the clean look "sucks". if you think about it these people are in the same boat you are. dont we all have a passion to further the perfection determined by our own mind's eye? theyre proud of the progress on their rides as much as you are of yours or maybe even more because it might mean something more significant to them. dont we all get harassed by the police or given less than favorable looks at times because we modify our cars?
i know we have our own opinions as to what is a tasteful mod and what isnt. but i think we should be less conceited about it. what because your car is a lexus and they drive hondas that makes them inferior? maybe we completely dislike their taste in mods, but have respect for the work they are putting into their cars. its like any other art, there are various tastes and if you dont like it then dont engage yourself in it. but dont diss on something jsut because you dont like it.

i don't kno if you kick it around our area.........he's not dissing the way the car is per se, it's the way these people act in those types of cars.....how many times does it happen when you're at a car meet, and you see a person in that type of car gun it and go unnecessarily fast in a parking lot or obviously in front of you guys? and everyone laughs and calls him a "ricer." im not saying ALL of them are like this, but we encounter alot, they drive unusually fast, try to show off by shining their underglows and ******* you, they peel out when taking off, things like this that make us have the stereotype against cars with unfinished body parts and stuff deemed "not cool."
im not saying i label them stupid as well, it's just that around the west covina area particularly, there are alot of people that have those and claim they are super fast and cool by zig-zaggin traffic and drving fast at a parking lot....it's ridiculous
as an example, we were kicking it at a starbucks and a car with unfinished parts drove really fast with one of the vertical doors open all the way and the guy's leg sticking out, talk about dangerous and stupid, they think they're cool by doing that and getting the people's attention.....
i understand your argument, but i think it's more than just the car being that way, it's the people who drive it that lead us to label them....

oh yea,
I dont think you should put on a kit if you dont have money to paint it. What are you really trying to say when doing that? "I like fixing up my car but I have no money for paint?"
and I think neon tubing stinks.

Their idea of "showing off and being cool" is dangerous and quite obnoxious. I think it is these types of people that are labeled ricers, and they are the ones that i think llmidnitellsc40 and calvin are talking about.

good definitions of ricers. i like that. several times i block these people in on the freeway just to get them pissed 
but when we say things like "man those guys with the vertical doors that think theyre so cool, well theyre stupid" it makes people not like our forums. it makes us seem that we think we are superior because we have nice cars and money to play. i dont think that should be the image we have.
my team is loaded with civics or accords and even NSX with lambo doors. and personally i think theyre hot. almost every car of ours has neon lights of some sort. and guess what, we win shows. i do agree at times neon tubing looks very tacky, such as when theyre mounted in such a way that you see the bar hanging down from under the car, but i think they have the potential to be a tasteful mod. i would really hate to be labeled a ricer because i have vertical doors on my car. i agree with the argument that its the type of people and their level of maturity, or in their case immaturity, that leads us to call them ricers, but i think we need to watch the way which we express this argument. their immaturity and tendency to showoff has nothing to do with the mods on their car, and this is the way it should be. im sure the designers of verticaldoors.com or whomever did not have these types of characters in mind when they released their kits. i know the drivers of many cars who have these kits and neon tubing, and they exhibit the level of maturity which i hope to attain.
example: of all the cars in my team i guess you guys would term my car to be one of more taste in that i dont have vertical doors or any neon tubing. but guess what i am the least mature when compared to the car owners in my team that do have them. im the only idiot that did donuts in a parkinglot when a number of our team members were also there. i got reprimanded heavily for it.
the point im trying to make here is that we are making it seem as if we are judging people by the parts on their cars and the level of completion (i.e. painted or unpainted kits, vert doors, neons. etc.). this makes us seem unusually stuckup and snobby which i know is not true(for most of our members) and i dont want any potentially great members to be deterred from our site because of this.
btw: to answer this:" I dont think you should put on a kit if you dont have money to paint it. What are you really trying to say when doing that? "I like fixing up my car but I have no money for paint?""
perhaps theyre not trying to say anything. they just want to have the part on their car. i know for a fact that i could NOT wait to get any of my new parts on my car ASAP. even though i did wait for all of my bodykit to arrive so i could paint it all and put it on at same time. some people's virtues dont happen to include patience. can we really classify what type of person they are because they couldnt wait to see what their car would look like with the kit on? we all know its one thing to see the part on a website, but the experience of actually having the part there in your hands is different, seeing it on your car is way different.

sorry for the long posts. i just think its in the better interest of the forum as a whole if we could make ourselves seem more open, regardless of whether we like what mods people are doing or not. i know for a fact that most of us here are a friendly bunch, but us saying things like that makes it harder for people to see us as a friendly group. some good points btw guys. ricer = obnoxious dangerous driver i think is a very good definition.

q one's right.. if you see how those guys act in our neighborhood... you'll get it.. i can't stand those guys thinking their car's are so crazy just because they have an exhaust and some neon lights and think they can try and pick a race wit me and stare me down...... if it wasn't for my car being marked.. i'd let them stop at a red light with me and they sure won't see me rev but i'll step out with a bat and bust a good swing to their window.. to me.. if u don't know me.. don't try to race me..

Bryan,
The only function I’ll ever be involved with will be here at Clublexus. Everybody here is cool as hell and share many of the same interests and opinions. I like the overall maturity level here as well.
Clublexus doesn’t make up any outrageous rules or enforce silly probation time for new members. We all know why we’re here, and we know we’re true enthusiasts when it comes to Lexus vehicles.
There are some ricers that are cool, I know because I was once there a long time ago.
Then there are ones that **** us off. Those are ones you need to ignore. Just because they just bought a new SRT-4, doesn’t mean he has to race everyone, all the time. We’re all aware of how capable our cars are. Ken is right; if you don’t know me, then don’t race me. It’s that simple. I’ve always wondered if our egos will ruin this world one day……
