What TC Mods do you consider "Ricey"?
#41
basically everything is ricey... dammit cars are cars... some are made to be customizable... and some may not. But if you want your car to look "kool" or whatever kool is to u then go ahead. if people call ur car "ricey" it means theyr just jealous

Tasteful and reserved application of graphics or 'affiliation' stickers ( such as SL stickers) is probably OK.
Enough parts stickers to look like an NHRA stocker are not...
:D
I'm actually surprised that no one has come out with big white vinyl that says RICER...

The worst is when people put stickers of the most irrelevant things possible. It's like "Powered by Pennzoil" or "Bridgestone". No one cares about what oil you use, or what brand tires you have. No need to declare it.
I am just waiting until the day people start putting stickers of features they have. Like:
"Power windows" across their windshield
or
"Auto-dimming mirror" in flames across the door panels

stickers aren't necessarily rice.. it all depends on the sticker. life if you're into music and sticker your car up with your favorite bands.. that's not really rice.. it's not really tasteful either but that's just showing your appreciation for music. or your favorite sports, etc.
stickers can be good. 1 or 2 well placed stickers can add that little piece of individualism to your car.. too many stickers however are bad.

Most of you guys define non performance parts rice. So what's wrong with people trying to make their car look nice and have zero performance gain? If everyone here is buying their tc for performance then they are wrong, u should of got a srt-4 or a gti... There's nothing wrong with people trying to make their car look good cosmetically, some people are not into performance gain... with out rice, everyone would be driving stock or factory...

A lot of the "ricey" cars around here are driven by beaners... But there IS a difference... I think we should start making distinctions between "ricey" and ...er... "beany"? ><
I joke, but really... why is it the term is called "rice"... "rice"=cheese... but there are many flavors of cheese ...

You haters should mind your own business. If someone calls my car rice to my face, I'll knock their teeth out... Period, end of story. Watch what you say and who you say it too. Many people spend thousands and thousands of dollars to make their car unique to their own personality, it isn't your car, you don't drive it and you shouldn't be seen in it or near it. Leave it alone, grow up and worry about yourself.

John, that little Z600 coupe weighed about as much as a Harley... 1300 pounds. :D
Here's an "Old School" article on the little beast:
http://www.urbanracer.com/articles/a...asp?a=837&z=22
Mine was one of the olive colored ones - on fact it looked like a stuffed green olive - and had a tow-bar on the front so I could drag it home behind my Land Cruiser when my wife and I would both end up at the same place in different cars after work.
At the time, those ten-inchers were the tiniest Michelins I'd ever seen...

IMO, anything that makes the car look like it has a performance mod but doesn't, is rice, ie fake intercooler, stickers of things you don't have, etc. Everything else is just personal preference. I don't mind kits, wings, paint, or anything like that if they look good and are done properly.
I wonder how many adamant "rice" haters out there have things like painted calipers, aftermarket shift *****/pedals, rims, changed dash lights, etc that they somehow exclude as being "rice" as well.

I have a Scion Life sticker and it's definitely not ricey.
It doesn't add performance or anything, but it serves a better purpose. It lets other SL members identify me.

stickers are made for a reason... but not for ricy reason. Such as sponsorship stickers? you guys are gonna call that rice? call it whatever you want, if that sticker can get me free stuff then beam me up scotty! anyways, theres nothing wrong with ricey cars, people have different tastes. I say if you get some attention even tho your car is ricey, then COOL! you dont know, you might get popular lolz
anyways it's your money RICE it UP or "SOUP" it up... its your choice

also - my own definition of an e-thug is someone who makes threats online. what i see him doing is giving a casual warning as to watch what you say to whoever you say it to... you never know who you'll run into.
