CF is not rice. Maybe the over the top hoods. But OEM carbon fiber hoods and trunks are nice

I'm thinking people consider anything they don't like, rice. There's a difference.

I always thought rice was cosmetic upgrades to make the car LOOK like it performs better, when actually it performs no better.

Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements

So since when did not liking something make it rice? Oh I don't like the turbo on the SS balts, must be rice...

rims what kind classify as nice and when is the rice line been crossed?
Also explane your reasoning.


Ill start

Big wings.... Rice
Wingless or oem wing.... Nice

I think a big wing looks like poo on any car. It has no purpose but looks so get one that looks good. I like the M3 style or wingless


Let the thread start!!!!
Hmm .... my high rise wing is OEM so I guess that means I'm not rice according to you. Yay !!!

Rice = Fart can mufflers, stickers/decals all over the car, shopping cart wings, painted interior (depends), neon lights, and the list goes on.

No, it really does not ....

A shopping cart wing are those aluminum pieces of **** you can buy at pep boys. You know the kind that every beat Civic/Accord has slapped on their trunk? That's what I mean by shopping cart wing.
