Back in the 90's, the word rice or "rice rocket" were Japanese honda Civic and Integra that were modified to be like race car. Any bodykit, rims, taillight. These were done mostly in the Asian American Socal community, hence the name rice rocket.

actually... in the 80's we who drove toyotas were called 'shoyu' while the honda guys were called 'rice'... it later evolved into the definition it is today.

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?
Until you read what post??? I don't have a black roof.

I think EVERYONE here on the 2IS board should have a link to current pics of their cars in their sigs *like me*, does this person know what he/she is talking about or are they just talking out their ****.

So to Ek9vboi, i have OFFICIALY FAILED to meet your standards...the sad part to you that is...is i could care less because im happy the way my car runs and looks

I have the Vertex Digna ‘Aero’ lip kit that does absolutely nothing in terms of performance. I’m running 20 inch 360 Forged Mesh 8 wheels, which do nothing in terms of performance either. 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.
*high five*

lol, I guess we all suffer from some degree of rice, given the most subtle mods rarely enhance performance. IMO window visors take a tasteful car over the line, but that's just a subjective style thing. But I'll take my rice in a Rice Krispy bar if I'm given a choice.
