Default How much till it's ricey?

Just wondering where most CL members draw the line when it comes to how much is too much for a car...

1 ugly common sticker will make it ricey, I guess it's a UAE thing to understand.

I guess you don't smoke, or don't smoke in the car and cant appreciate the utility in rain.

Like most I don't smoke and even if I did certainly not in my Lexus. And most window visors are added to resemble a styling touch.

I have a Jeep for dirty work though.

Personally, I don't think its the number of mods done to a car, but the quality and taste of mods done. For example you can have a clean, well built car with lots of mods and not be rice, but you can have a stock car with one big sticker and it can be rice. All about the execution.

...then I suppose I'm a ricer.



Usually I'd agree, but I find OEM Toyota/Lexus visors fit exceptionally well and are contoured to match the window trim for the application. eBay visors don't cut it.

Nice touch of class, or rice, depends on who's looking, lol.^^^

But regardless, after all that factory aero testing, stuff stuck on with double sided tape doesn't help.

Amazing, I have never seen a ISx50 messed up that much.

To think he paid good money for that "customization".
