Race inspired cosmetic enhancements. enhancements that offer no real function.

GT wing, loud exhaust, tow hooks, non-functional hood scoops & side vents, ugly body kit, racing stripes/ugly paint job, a lot of vinyl stickers. plus they all seem to have altezza lights.

I would describe a ricey car as an under powered vehicle that has been modified to make lots more noise than normal to give the appearance of high performance. I would liken it to putting playing cards in the spokes of your bicycle to make it sound like it has a motor
