And that GS does have green tint on it because I was on the forum that stated it was green tint.

But don't confuse what I originally stated. I stated why spoilers were originally invented. They are now often used for decorative purposes, instead.
Now, keep in mind, I never said all spoilers are "rice." According to the definition posted by Aaron, they are (if read literally). However, I'd lean more towards some of those Urban Dictionary definitions that refer to cheap looking add-ons, 3-foot wings on FWD vehicles, etc. But at some point, it does become subjective, of course.

of course those huge spoilers provide the car with downforce. im talking about lip spoilers. I don't get why you think a small lip spoiler gives an "impression of high performance" and I have yet to see a VIP car with a huge spoiler, just lip spoilers.

So, yeah, to me and my literal brain, any spoiler gives the impression of high performance. No matter how small, when I see a spoiler on a Kia Rio, I shake my head and laugh to myself.
And Donpisto even just said it. "Gives it a more sporty look." So making a car look sporty while not being sporty is where lies the rice.
Does this apply to a G? Well, I'd like to think a G has the go to back it up, so IMHO, the answer is no.
^^then go hamburger and put some 22's or 24's on your car and ride at a high *** altitude. that should be better.
i think the lip spoilers are just for looks. no true purpose at all, and if it does add downforce, then it adds VERY little.

yeah, i noticed that. everything w/ putting those on a car is RICE. but what about those others? doesn't big wheels, trunk spoiler, gillet grill, window protectors, air bags also associated w/ beaners, dub style cars, and such? ...oyeah, my bad, RICE is when you do those things to higher end cars

And I don't play that.
i dont care if its vip or not, if it doesn't look good, then it just doesn't look good. nothing vip about it. to me, they should have just stuck with light blk or limo or nothing at all. the green killed it. Green = nothing special. Its like a red civic w/ red window tints = ****.
dont think too much of that green tint, its just bc they wanted to do something different. END OF STORY.
i would have gone with very light ceramic tints.
