what the hell is on the front of the car that has the chord running into the light? its on almost half of the cars

http://tanetane92.web.infoseek.co.jp/053111.jpg

:uh:

it almost looks like some sort of oil cooler, but why mount it externally?

most of those pictures had me doing my Arsenio Hall impersonation...

"things that make you go,....HHHHMMMMMMM..." :uh:

if this one just had a slightly larger rear spoiler, it would be awesome :egads:

this one looks like it parked in the middle of a launch ramp
http://tanetane92.web.infoseek.co.jp/053001.jpg

those are some of the most horribly modded cars EVER!!!!!!

Boy, those are some f-up cars. One man's nightmare is another man's dream :egads:

I just noticed another thing, they seem to like mounting their tranny/engine oil cooler mounts on the front bumper of the car for everyone to see. Maybe they think it's cool because it looks like an intercooler :uh:

That last one is VIP Style :p

how about them 'picket fence' exhaust tips :uh:

I am really quite amazed at the snow plow look. How can anyone look at that and say it looks good. That has to be the stupidest thing I have seen done to a car, other than that gigantic pink spoiler.

that's not real is it? tell me it's a joke, please, those are some of the worst mods i've ever seen.

and I thought that my stupid neighbor's butt-ugly riced out Hyundai (featuring items such as both a 8" fart can AND fake side exhausts from Wal-Mart :rolleyes: ) looked retarded... these cars make his Tiburon actually look somewhat appealing, and that's not sayin' much. :egads:

i am completely speechless..... this is way out of my league......

That last one is VIP Style :p


Hey NO IT'S NOT! Don't confuse VIP styling and trash. :cry:

I remember those days back in the early-mid 80's. Seems that the anime of the period inspired some car mods. I'm glad we don't see Gundam's current incarnation translated to cars. :uh:

Self expression was obviously different then and over there. ;)

Is that an LS 400/Celsior to the left of that Toyota...or am I seeing things? :uh:

The one that you ask about the paint? It's actually a fully polished all-aluminum body (I believe if I remember correctly). I'm not feelin' it either though.

I think this rice bashing has really gotten LAME! Especially when people who don't know what they're talking about half the time start jumping in to try to sound funny or associate their balless conservative azzes with the bashers by bashing other peoples automotive style. Half the times, the vehicles being bashed are show vehicles. Anyone who's ever been out there livin the life knows that you have to do crazy things to your vehicles to make it stand out in a show full of other creative vehicles. JDM or conservatively modified or stock looking vehicles ain't gonna get any love or attention from anyone at the shows.

IMO, Haters are worse than Ricers if there is such a thing as Ricers.

Yes that is a Celsior you see parked to the left of that Trueno Coupe aka AE92 Corolla GTS.

That looks like a photochop job. Look at the red unerased paint on the ground.

Besides, those people who over did their rides like your samples did it to get attention cuz they think they're funny. They think rice bashers will line up and be their friends and repost their cars all over the internet. Keep in mind, there's alot of people dying for attentions out there, these fools are it. Judging from all the reactions, their plans worked, I've seen these posted all over the net, especially hater sites. Everyone seems to get a good kick out of tearing these cars up. Little did they know they've been punked. Kind of like those idiots that make those fake Mustang GT-R powered by V-tec videos, don't kno if you've seen them.

I'm only defending personal expression no matter how dumb. One mans ho is anothers love of a life time. That's how the world stays out of trouble. Sh%% always go wrong when others think their way is better by attacking others. I'm sure y'all wouldn't like it if the owners of these "rice" vehicles went on the attack mode and set up hundreds of forums making fun of all boring stock looking cars by calling their owners old farts or *****whoopers. Luckily these enthusiast are too busy having fun they don't spend half their life on line knocking on others. Yeah the styling on those "rice" vehicles may not be to everyones taste, but no one besides the owner is paying the bill or has to put up with all the cheapshots and misguided criticisms.

Now that was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

"Livin' the life" AAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

You should try livin the life cuz hangin out on forums is like having virtual sex....not much fun IMO, but then again, whatever turns you on.

Calm down there, sparky. You have to remember that this is a LUXURY car forum and we're all biased, at least to a certain degree. Do you really expect people on this forum to look at those pics and say to themselves, "WOW! I want to make my LEXUS look like that car!"??? Ricer show vehicles that actually win awards are the ones that are done somewhat tastefully (no 6' rear spoiler, etc). Oh, and I think that you have a pretty wierd definition of "ball-less". It would be pretty funny to see who has the bigger balls when a riced-out 4-banger Civic (or similar) pulls up to a stop light next to a modded GS, SC, IS, or hell, even my ES. I guess it just comes down to the fact that WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINIONS, whether good or bad.

I don't know, maybe that might just be an Omaha Nebraska thing, but not everyone automatically becomes biased just cuz they're on a luxury car forum.

Do you really expect people on this forum to look at those pics and say to themselves, "WOW! I want to make my LEXUS look like that car!"???

YES!! It's already been done, Checkout the LS400 on page two of this thread. I should warn you tho, it might be a good idea to take a good shot of whiskey first. The image maybe a little too "ballzy" for you.

Ricer show vehicles that actually win awards are the ones that are done somewhat tastefully (no 6' rear spoiler, etc).

So how does having a award winning tastefully done show car equal rice? And how does import car shows that feature majority asian makes considered ricer show? Are you saying that all asian vehicles are automatically riced? Or is it because the majority of show attendees are asians? Would you consider the annual "Supra meets" a ricer meet since just about all those MKIV Supras have wings that looked to be 6ft tall also? Is Toyota a Ricer manufacturer for putting that tall wing and altezza tailights as standard item on the MKIV SupraTT and IS300? How about Mitsubishi's 4bangin EVO8? Stock, that car smokes any modified Lexus I know of in the handling department and outguns all stock lexus V8s in a drag race, yet looks like those vehicles you've considered riced.

Oh, and I think that you have a pretty wierd definition of "ball-less". It would be pretty funny to see who has the bigger balls when a riced-out 4-banger Civic (or similar) pulls up to a stop light next to a modded GS, SC, IS, or hell, even my ES.

Are you saying that you're going to pullout your balls and have a size contest whenever you see a riced-out 4-banger Civic (or similar) pull up on you at a stop light? In that case, I will have to proclaim you the winner. Just be sure to hide those oversize balls when the cops throw you in jail. You wouldn't want the wrong people checking out your assets while waiting for bail.

I guess it just comes down to the fact that WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINIONS, whether good or bad.

If the opinion is bad and you know it, why post it? But if you didn't know or didn't think it's bad like those enthusiast with the 6ft wings, expect people to tear you a new hole like y'all like to consistantly do to those owners.

BTW, we're all not entitled to our opinions, it's an over exaggerated american mantra. You'll get thrown in jail for talking about porns in Chinese forums or get tortured by Saddam when he was still the man in charged. So don't take it for granted by expressing bad opinions.

Not sure if anyone thought this up before but this just hit me, now what happend if lets say one of those cars with the 4 foot front spoilers caught on fire, then wouldn't you have some "FRIED RICE?" I just had to come up with that one after It hit me, or someone already did that one?

Wow, 2 whole pages before someone starts up the whole “ricer term ethics and definition” debate. It's a new CL record. :rolleyes:

But to focus on the cars... Its crazy how crazy the mods on the retro racers are. It would be pretty cool to have one of those old cars but they all have the same god awful exhaust and the same rims, its a shame.

Celicamaro - you need to take it easy man. CL is not your average car mod site. Most members treat each other with respect here & take pride with having clean, classy & understated cars, and we do appreciate many other cars than just Lexus. The cars being ridiculed are the exact opposite of what CL stands for!!

http://tanetane92.web.infoseek.co.jp/052681.jpg


You guys do know that these cars are typically modded to join the "uphill race" battles that are so common? They need that crazy front lip for aerodynamics and the wide stance so they won't fall off the cliffs.....

You're gettin' close to that line boy. I suggest you close the trap now and settle down. :mad:

:agree:

Celicamaro, you are doing absolutely nothing to better the impression of yourself here. Especially since you are new to the forums. :(

BTW, we're all not entitled to our opinions, it's an over exaggerated american mantra. You'll get thrown in jail for talking about porns in Chinese forums or get tortured by Saddam when he was still the man in charged. So don't take it for granted by expressing bad opinions.
If this is what you think, then you are just as guilty as the members you are "debating" with. They may think your opinions are "bad" and should not be voiced. Ricer is a sensitive term for some people and just another word for others. We should all be a bit more sensitive to what we say on a forum with 30K+ members and who knows how many other readers/lurkers.

If you guys want to continue your "discussion", please take it to PM and stop this line of discussion in this thread.

Taste is another thing that is subjective. Everyone's tastes are different. I personally do not like the the mods on these cars and would never do this to any of my cars. Hey, but that's just me. It is perfectly within my rights to say that I do not find these cars tastefully modded. It is anyone else's right to say that these are cool. But, please leave it at that and not start to call eachother out.

Celicamaro, please take some time to see what CL is about. Anyone is welcomed here as it is a great place for info. The majority of the members here, however, believe in a certain level of modding and the pics in this thread are not typical of this styling. For better or worse, that is the way it is. I don't even think you object to this, but maybe are tired of people throwing the "ricer" word around. You've had your say about this so please move on. If you don't like what is being discussed in this thread, you can always ignore the thread. There is so much more going on here on CL that there is no need to focus on this thread. :)

As for everyone else, feel free to discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of these cars but please refrain from tagging them with the R word. Any further escalation of the issue will warrant a closure of the thread.

Thanks for understanding.

THE JUDGE HAS SPOKEN. :rockon:

btw. is it true about the uphill races? i never knew that. it doesn't change the fact that the lip is that freaking huge but hey, if they need it to go racing up a hill, go for it !

i like that one picture of the 06/07? LS430. I think it's pretty hotness.

didn't know they had to have that front lip have to appologize for my comments earlier then

I thought CL wasn't your average forum also. That's why I like it here. Now I see several members and a moderator jumping on me trying to tell me to take it easy when I'm not even hot yet. These views are proving CL to be no different than lets say ricecop.com or most domestics forums. But I won't jump to that conclusion about CL as a whole since they members are in the minority.

This is why I like this site.

[QUOTE] Most members treat each other with respect here & take pride with having clean, classy & understated cars, and we do appreciate many other cars than just Lexus. The cars being ridiculed are the exact opposite of what CL stands for!!

This doesn't make sense. If we appreciate many other cars other than just lexus, then why ridiculed others for being different than us? I know for a fact that many here wouldn't like it if others take cheap shots at Lexus styling or it's members clean, classy and understated cars. I'm already seen as a threat just for pointing that out. No offense, but this sounds like a double standard.

You're gettin' close to that line boy. I suggest you close the trap now and settle down. :mad:

The lesson for you son, is if you don't like or can't handle being made fun of, don't laugh at others.
Of course certain people here would view my post as more threatening than you telling me to shut my trap and settle down. So most likely I will get ban for pointing out the obvious. Oh well....

Celicamaro,

You were specifically asked to take the argument offline, and you chose to ignore the moderator's request. Do not continue this type of behaviour in the future please.
