Don't worry. Your car is no where near "riced out."

Google riced out cars and you'll see what it really is. Your car is pretty modest in terms of mods.

Also - at the end of the day - its your car and its a representation of your style. Don't worry about other people.

as far as i can tell it's no different than this



i mean just throw some tuna in the trunk, wrap it with seaweed and you'll be needing some soy sauce and wasabi on the side


lol jk it's not exactly "riced out" but if i saw that on the street i'd probably give a brief pshhhh but then appreciate that someone is enthusiastic about an LS, and then probably worry a bit that their priorities might favor appearance over general upkeep and maintenance


i drew the line here since i didn't want to become ricey

You are asking, so I will share my opinion. I don't like the rear spoiler, but that is my opinion. Is is riced out? Well anything other stock on a luxury sedan could be considered riced out. The biggest question here is , should you care what anyone else thinks of your car? No, you shouldn't and if adding those exhausts make you happy, then that is what you should do, as long as you are living within your means.

How do you define ricey and why do you not want to be associated with it? Once you figure out exactly what ricey means to you and what specifically about being ricey do you not want to fall victim to, then you will know if your car is ricey. To me, ricey is a mod that suggest a high level of performance while actually adding very little or even hurting performance. To me, Bosozoku is NOT rice, because it has a totally different purpose than ricey mods. The intent is to be extreme and extravagant, not exude high performance, it's almost satirical art. INTENT is the key word here, if you are using that wing ironically, then it is not rice, if you are doing it because it is associated with a high performance car, then it is rice IMHO because your car is NOT a high performance car, nor is it actually benefitting from that wing.
