The only thing I am not feeling is the spoiler and front bumper. Other than that I like it, but I dont see how you can call this rice.

Not my style at all. The owner definitely has some goal in mind by the money spent so far.

Guys, its not rice. Please don't misue the term. Rice is tons of spoilers, kits, mix matched parts etc and no performance upgrades.

We may not like this car, but it is not rice.

Guys, the ABFlug Aristo is meant to be a track car, thus the big single turbo kit, the big hole on the headlights to let cold air in direct to the intake, the front bumper "gills", the cf cosmetic parts, the big gt wing in the back and all the other stuff.

Granted that it's probably "Ugly" to most people here on CL, but RICE would be the last thing I'd call it. If I remember correctly, the car was pushing over 700hp on the dyno.

It is a purposely built track car... I am actually happy that someone really modded their GS to be on track... not as clean as Vertex GS drift car, but this one is fast as hell too.

Well, the owner of that car built it the way he wanted and kudos to him. Still, it does not guarantee that others will share his vision. Like the hard to define VIP style, RICE means different things to different people, and not all are derogatory. Putting more power into the car does not make the car look better all of a sudden.

The wing and the front is too much for me. I when I see that wing on other cars and I won't excuse it on a GS either. I am sure it runs great and the owner is happy with it. In the end, I guess that's all that matters.
