rigging HID projectors into a headlight that already has HID projectors to get a cool cut off line
ugly kits




slamming a car on stocks is super rice

i think that is about it.

good thing this is a matter of one's opinion. it would be kinda boring and modding probably wouldn't be fun... if this how everybody felt. usually if somebody doesn't agree with you on a mod it's probably rice in their book. the word "Rice" is definately thrown around a lot just like with every other automotive category terminalogy. (ie: VIP, EXE, VIP-styled, DUB'd, and etc.)

I have a roof spoiler that I purchased just for looks too… Wow, now that I look at it, I should strip my car back down to stock, what a revelation!

I’ve been following your post’s, not only in this thread but others as well and can tell you now, you won’t be well received on this forum.

Yes but your are real and they cost a real amount of cash. I think riced out cars have the cheapest of everything on them. Cheapest body kit, cheapest rims, etc. and look riced lol

Really?! How do you figure having LEDs is rice? All the new cars have them for DRLs. I could understand if you're talking about people taking LED strips and placing them everywhere on the car but not all LEDs. How are retros rice? It's a means to get a better light output. And I guess my car is rice cause my roof is painted black

Like I said... gather everyone's definitions up, and my car is rice as rice as can be. Therefore, my car is rice. Actually, I'll admit that I'm rice in my on terms of rice. Rice rice rice. Gotta love it.

Is that a rhetorical question? LOL

Also, I've never heard of people painting the roof black until I read this post. Is it an attempt to fool people into thinking its carbon fiber or a panorama roof? Doesn't that just make the car hotter in the sun?

imo, if it's not popular with or well-accepted by the majority, it's rice.

after all, if the majority likes it and/or has it, would be considered "rice"?

you should search the forums.. there's quite a few.... we go great lengths to make the car look hot... even if it makes it hotter in the sun....
afterall.. it's the exterior... the heat transmitted inside is not exactly 100%

i hope everyone keeps this thread going, its comical to see how many of us have such broad opinions but yet most everyone will say "sick car" as soon as high-res pic's are posted. Everythings not for everyone. And in the end, the only definition of RICE is the one you conjugate.

It is interesting. When I bought my 350 I only planned on tinting windows...several minor mods later, I thought I would ask seeing as the wide range of creations are great!

So far I'm happy to see no one based my mods

that's like asking to define when a woman is slu*ty vs sexy. you might want to say it's the dress or the make up or whatever, but it all boils down to 2 things... subtlety and coordination... when what you add has some subtlety to it and coordinates with the rest of the car, it will look good and who cares if so and so thinks that a certain piece is "rice."

unfortunately some people have no appreciation of subtlety whatsoever and can't coordinate their clothes much less their car accessories..
