because asking the question IS the answer.

 

there are very few "rice" G's on this site

and very few rice body kits

just get a properly fitting body kit/ and grill

no neon
and no huge *** wing

 

That Widebody G Looks So Nice But Not Feeling The Grill

 

hahhaa, this is so true!

 

I'd have to agree. It's amusing.

I maybe wouldn't go as far to say that the above pictures are "ricey" but definitely no taste IMO.

2 tone never looks good unless it's on an old muscle car.
That wing is TERRIBLE.
The white one's front end isn't too bad, but wtf is that trunk?
Lambo doors? Enough said.
Widebody kit wouldn't have looked too bad if it had stock fenders, hood, and different grille and bumper.
Never a fan of rims that were the color of the rainbow.

I'll throw in one more.



Not feeling this at all. I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say if a Civic, Accord, Eclipse, etc, had that type of rear bumper on it the picture would be plastered with rice everywhere.

The color is ridiculous the rims don't fit the car at all. Not my taste.

But I will say looking through the pictures on this forum there are a lot of CLEAN Gs, but there are an occasional few WTFs.

 

So very true.

 

You guys are forgetting that 60% of this forum is no different than your typical Fast and the Furious ricer. They will defend those ugly riced out G35s until the sun comes up :lol:

 

I don't defend any riced out G's. I don't call them out either, but I definitely know of a couple of riced out G's.

I'll just keep that to myself, though.

 

Oohh no. You guys will for sure think my new G will be rice then. Ohh well to each is their own. If its made for the car, installed properly and isn't hideous sounding/looking, then its not a big deal.

most kids don't have 50K+ or 100K+ jobs to buy anything they wanted, so they make due. Its when they go to pepboys and F$$$ up their cars with BS mods. Tasteful civics are just as nice as G's, muscle cars etc. I just enjoy all things that move if they are done properly.

 

I'd have to disagree here... the ricer will always be the one to pull up to you either on public roads or in the middle of heavy stop and go traffic, reving at you, wanting to race. Normal people will take a look at the ricer's car and be the ones laughing... Those of us that are older or have been around long enough to see the tragedies caused by ricers street racing go to the tracks to have our fun.

For reals... I'm sure that fancy version of the ricer vents in the fenders combined with that hood and grille adds like a couple hundred horsepower!

Sure they do... That spoiler on the first car looks like it's getting the G ready for take-off. To add to the damage, how are you gonna kit out a car and leave the stock wheels on? And it shows the sh*tty stock wheels too (no offense meant to those rolling on those wheels). If you're going for a factory look, that spoiler isn't the one. If you're going for the agressive track/show look, those wheels aren't the ones. And if you're going for something in between... WTF???
The lambo doors... if you like these, you are a ricer, period. The paint schemes... mixed feelings here. For a show car, as long as it's done nicely on a modified body and the colors look good together, then IMO, it's ok. Just not for a street car.

I do have mixed emotions about over-sized wheels. Too big where they don't fit the car right is definitely bad, but bigger wheels with less sidewall is not bad on turning. You'll lose out on turning radius and acceleration, but steering response is definitely better with bigger wheels, or thinner sidewalls at least.

And widebodies... IMO properly and cleanly done, they are fine. Some cars don't give you the option of wider wheels, so a widebody would be the only way to do this. Wider wheels can be a plus for performance. It's just when the widebody kit either looks hideous or is just a slap on fender kit that it is bad.

+100000000!!!

If you must ask, then it's rice. And just because the part you bought has a good name like Top Secret, Junction Produce, Nismo etc... on it and cost a lot of money, it doesn't mean you have good taste.

Oh, and btw... wheels that cost more than the car is worth or cheap imitation wheels like Stern, Rota, etc... are rice too. I'll let Rotas get away as track only wheels on a Honda or other cheap car since they are light, sturdy and affordable for the weekend warrior. But just not for the show car or commutes. Those bling bling chromes are rice too.

Also, IMO... Clears are ok, not my taste, but ok... but the blue bulbs underneath has got to go. And just because your underbody lighting kit is not neon does not mean it isn't rice.

This thread has inspired me to debadge my car like I've been thinking about doing for a while...



BTW, I remember a thread bashing ricers somewhere and someone was bashing on clear corners when he had clear corners with blue leds underneath himself!
I have no problem with people wanting their cars to look different with the kit and lights, Nike swoosh, etc... no matter how hideous some say the car or parts is. It's you're car, do whatever the f*ck you want to it. But just know you are a ricer yourself before you start bashing on someone else for being a ricer because of his/her mods.

Ricers looking to race in the middle of traffic with kids running around ahead of us and soccer moms all around us is a different story.

 

I'm with you! Those are rice, but I like JDM/USDM (OEM). I agree with the Infiniti/Skyline thing. If you want to do that change everything to Nissan then.

I feel ya!

 

Very true!

 

Totally agree with ya

 

Rice is such a lame word to use.

I just group all cars of this nature into one large category...trashy cars driven by retards.

 

Not sure what you're refering to regarding nismo replica and fiberglass. I believe the authentic nismo front bumper is fiberglass whereas the replicas is urathane.

I personally give more props to people who try to be unique, even if they get some unwarranted rice thrown at them. Why mod your car to everybody else's standard? are they helping you out with the payments? Don't get me wrong, there is a fine line of being unique and crossing over into the retardedly rice catergory. Honestly, to some people, anything non-oem is rice. You can't please everyone nor should you try to when it comes to modding your car. to each his own
