Lots of nice looking cars, maybe 1 or 2 with a wing too big. I think you guys are being a bit too hard on some of these cars and many, you cant agree if its riced or not. Cant say I saw anything wrong with the pickup truck photoed or the honda made to look like a bmw. Some of them looked ghettotastic, but almost all were aero, more fuel economy, less effectived by the wind when driving.

My xa photoed below was called riced at my job at an american truck body shop and all the employees owned american made trucks. The photo is at the dealer after trading for an xb pictured too, they removed the spings, left everything else.

I use to get anyones attention at work by asking if they could help me rice out my car.



The hood scoup and wing are not installed, just placed for photos or what I thought was a cool looking xb. Both the scoupe and wing are very low profile, infact the wing or spoiler is from a tc, yet its been called riced in the xb forums.



Anyway, here is a funny looking car, a smart car with a big for sale sign at the rear window and looks like tom green is driving it.

Yeah, some a-hole put 3m reflective tape all over the grill. The fake brake duct grill has wax as I was spassing out as I waxed it and got wax everywhere.

The xa has all scion accessories, xb wheels, legal va tint and the fake hood scoupe.

UGH!!! He needs led tails, pitch the wing forwards for more down force and wash his muffler every once and a while. I had a strup and cleanned it like it was a part of my body.

Then he needs a wet/dry vac to suck out the interdimenstional slime thats ouzzing out the fender areas like icicles.

If you took the fake scoop off the xA it would be fine. But I don't like fake hood scoops. No performance gain and everyone knows it is fake.

And the only time I consider no hubcaps acceptable is in the winter when you are running snow tires. If you want black wheels paint the hubcaps.

Sorry, everyone in the town I grew up in did this to their beat up civics. I just picture an old 90s civic with a primer paint job or several colors on it with a hood scoop and no hub caps. So I hate to see scions like that.

But I mean if you like it is your car not mine and it is what you like not what I like, I respect that.

Hard to tell from the pics, but this thing was BAD. Hood/fenders/bumpers were all damaged, had multiple kinds of rims. Front bumper had a huge chunk out of it. Oh wow
