What's with all the ricer bashing? So what would you call our cars? I'd call them domestic rice. Your telling me gm wasn't trying to capitalize on the "ricer"trend when they developed the SS cobalt? Let me think. Small displacement 4 cylinder check. Turbo/ supercharger/ check big non functional wing .check. FWD check. Even the styling looks like its trying to imitate various imports.who really cares let people do what they want to do with their cars lol

I'm not bashing our cars cause I know mine is quick. However most the time these civics you run into have a $20 eBay exhaust and a $20 eBay intake and they call it performance. I have an 02 si and it is nowhere near as fast as my ss/tc cobalt. However I have blown the doors off may a ss/sc cobalt in it. But its got more bolt ons that simply a cheap exhaust. Bottom line is that our cars were modeled to imitate the imports and draw in the tuner crowd so gm could capitalize on this fast and furious trend. So they are no more than domestic rice if you look at the bigger picture.

Not to rltroll here, but I believe the original concept of a spoiler is to create downforce to put the car down onto the road to the wheels that are propelling. The car stay on the ground and maintain traction. Seeing as these are fwd cars and the spoiler is on the back I don't see how it has a purpose other than cosmetic. Me, I love the look of the larger spoiler that came factory and would love to have one on my car. I completes the lines imo but is functionless other than cosmetics as I stated.

I was simply talking about ricer bashing and how our cars design IMO is clearly derived from imitation of imports. Someone else talked trash on civics and vdubs and dragged them into the conversation.

WHO GIVES A **** ABOUT A SPOILER?!!
This threads about plastdip, These colors of plastidip when put on wheels/trim on exterior, are gay 99% of the time, and are ricey. No one said **** about any type of car. Except volkswagens cause they do that **** all the time.
