Please advise on whether the following items are considered "rice"... : 1. clear lensesDepends. If you clear every friggin light on the exterior, yes, its rice. If its done tastefully, its ok. : 2. body kits Again, depends. Getting the most copied kit for your car and then thinking your car is rare and incredible, is rice. If you've got something very rare from japan and cost you bookoo bucks, then its worth respecting. : 3. If "yes" to #2 above, which kits are "rice," and which aren't. Answered up above. : 4. indiglo gauges Rice power. : 5. window tinting Obviously not rice, unless they're colored tint. That is rice. : 6. HID lights Very helpful for vision, blue hid wannabe lights are rice. True HID isnt. : 7. engine bay dressing (colored wires, etc.) Depends on the job, if its hot pink and yellow for show points, yes its gay and ricey. But a black/blue or nice color scheme together would look terrific if its done right. : 8. cross drilled rotors Unless they're the x-drilled hub caps, they're a great mod. : 9. aftermarket wheels hahahaha. Anything thats a copy (read: Konig) is gay and ricey. Authentic japanese wheels which are rare and sought after are very well respected. Custom wheels such as HRE and Fikse are even more respected. : 10. dash kits Not a fan of these, but if the car has a lot of carbon fiber ont he outside, it can match the inside. : 11. fairlady Z emblems and Z stickers Gay as all hell. Rice factory produced. : 12. aftermarket shift knobs Depends. J-Spec one is really nice, if its a glow int he dark knob, yes, very ricey. : 13. white face gauges They're fine. : 14. fuzzy dice Lame. : 15. little dog whose head bobs up and down Rice. : 16. plastic Jesus Not made for a car. : 17. organ pipes Use your horn. : 18. barefoot accelerator pedal Depends, can be nice. : 19. DVD systems When has sound been a bad thing. We dont drive full blown race cars, we drive street racers and sounds are very accepted. : 20. painted calipers Depends, if its the most common yellow or red on a car it doesnt contrast with, then its rice. : 21. Jack In The Box - "Holiday Jack" Lame. : 22. PIAA lights Half way point, but respected because they make quality product. : 23. electric mirror balls Gay as all hell. : 24. aftermarket exhaust systems If its on a honda, lame. : 25. aftermarket stereo systems Its fine. : 26. aftermarket subwoofers Fine. : 27. changing interior to anything other than original Its fine 99% of the time. Going ghetto east LA look isnt good. : 28. aftermarket horn (normal sounding, but LOUDER) Annoying imho, but some like it. : 29. aftermarket horn (plays Holiday favorites) Gay. : 30. lowering of vehicle due to aftermarket suspension Handeling is fine. : When EXACTLY is a vehicle considered to be "rice?" Worthless modifications that dont enhance anything. : At what point does it cross the line? When you buy shit for your car, just for the sake of buying something, no matter how useless it is.
