Rice: Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement
Lets see the pics, I'll start it off with my prior 2010 Honda Civic EX
Not sure if anyone can top this...
What about the rear end? Aren't you going to show us the 50hp TypeR badge mod?
To be honest, I've seen much worst where I live. The hood and interior color combo(black+tan+red) are probably the only questionable bits. Maybe the HID kit as well... that generation of Civic is notorious for people installing cheap HID kits and blinding everybody on the road(and driving with hi-beams on all the time).

de-badged, I had the taillights tinted red, but VA inspection, made me remove it because reverse lights had to be white. I never got around to full blacking out all the beige interior panels.
I had a 94 SC300 which I had an axle back exhaust, eibach 2" lowering springs (on tokico struts), S SR 17 inch wheels with a super wide tire on the back, yellow brake calipers, yellow cornering lights (overlay), drop in K&N cone filter, 5K HID plug in (glare!), candy apple red tails (painted) which were eventually replaced with 97+ tails with hyperblink, black emblems since they had holes behind them.It was a decent mix of tasteful but also ricey mods (yellow calipers, hyperblink, fart can, etc.).
Then I had 1999 328iS 5-speed which I didn't do much to, just crystal smoked fog lights and corners, HID plug in (glare again!) in headlights and fogs, black kidney grill, and exhaust mod to increase low throttle sound.
Lastly before the GS I had a 2007 Acura TSX 6 speed with only 3000k fog light mod (HID).
Yessss! I think I’m still a ricer at heart. I will eventually get another one but here are the two I had most recently.. I traded the WRX (daily driver) for the GS and I had the SC400 as a project car.
Nope. I’ve never owned a Honda. I never was a ricer and never will be. Prior to my ‘13 GS350 F-Sport rwd, my daily driver was a ‘96 Camry 4cyl. No body kit, no giant wing, no +5hp stickers, no ridiculous scissor doors, none of that. I did lower it 1.5” on coil overs, 17” oem solara wheels, cat-back exhaust with a magnaflow muffler(a bit of a growl but not a fart cannon), projector retrofit headlights, the bigger V6 Camry disc brakes with 2-piston front calipers, stainless steel braided brake lines, 3-spoke ‘02 Camry se steering wheel, auto dimming rear view mirror, and cf trunk lid.
It it never was a fast car, so I just made it look and handle better. I still have that old Camry. Still a good car, I just don’t drive it as much now.
My “I just wanna have fun” car is a 1965 Mustang coupe and its big ol’ gas guzzlin’, tire shredding, window rattling V8! 😆😎
If I could afford the fuel cost, I’d drive my ‘65 every day. But, at just 8 mpg, I almost have to stop at every 3rd gas station.
So, my ‘65 may only get 8 MILES per gallon, but it gets 1,000,000 SMILES per gallon!
I’ve always been more into classic muscle cars than any other type of car.

This is my baby:
Technically some of the mods you did to your Camry would be considered rice(race inspired cosmetic enhancement), it doesn't have to look ridiculous. Rice can be applied to any car, not specific to any particular make or model.

Where you a Ricer prior to owning the GS?
