Default What is the rice line??

What mods cross the "Rice" line. Since buying my silver IS350 a month ago, I have already tinted windows, black painted calipers, grill surround, rear emblems, ordered a fsport rear sway, mounted a OEM rear spoiler, hardwired a radar detector and now I am thinking of a GFX front lip, tint fogs and maybe a roof spoiler.

What crosses the "Rice" line? Rims, lowered, lights, black roofs, full GFX kit, visors, exhaust, intake, or any of the things I did above,,etc..etc..etc?

I know this is an individual taste, but I'm curious to the CL's opinion as I want it to come across as nice, not rice.

Old pic- only tint

IMO, reps are rice to me. Anything fake and not authentic. Things that you buy at PepBoys.

only thing rice would be the lights. But a bad fitting body kit or stupid looking rims and stock ride height would be considering rice.

mods that make you look like you go faster but in reality do not, ex: giant spoiler.
