Didnt we all have a ricer stage? I know I did.. maybe you guys want to see my RICED OUT 98 Integra in highschool =P? In 1990s it was cool to do these things. 2000+ its rice.

Its just simple that the demographic of a car owner, if its cheaply obtainable then you will see riced out cars far more so than if say you go on a g35, 350z, BMW, Benz forum. Its true everyone has a ricer stage in their boyhood where stickers add 5 hp, so keeping the car out of their demographic will reduce these occurrences. Unfortunately an SC is well within their grasp.

I swear all people do on this website is **** and moan about what other people do to their cars.
And IF those sour puss's even have an SC... it's stock or distastefully modded.

Seriously keep it to yourself, this is supposed to be a forum.
I can assure you that none of my SC's have or ever will be stock or distastefully modded. Aside of course from the 2 SC's I owned that had Bomex kits on from the PO And yes, it is a forum, hence we don't keep it to ourselves - rather we "discuss." Hence the term "forum."

By your posts I can only guess you aren't very old, or mature. I don't consider blacked out headlights to be in the same category as liquor bottle bags as shift boot covers. But, if you are either trying to make a point, or wanting to join the "ricer" category, I am sure they would welcome you with open arms

First off, no offense to anyone, but I am pretty dissappointed with the direction of where this forum is going. There are plenty of ugly cars on here and there are very few tastefully modded ones.

I understand that not everybody is willing nor have $3-4k to spend on paint and an aero kit and/or $2-4k on wheels and tires, especially on a car that isn't worth all that much.

Dumping the car as low as possible on stock wheels is far from aesthetically pleasing or cool by any stretch of the imagination. Money doesn't buy good tastes either. The same goes with buying wheels that are too big and stretching the hell out the tires and call it "aggressive" fitment
