All you "rice" experts, please explain the definition of "rice" as it applies to mods. I must be out of the loop....

I might not know the exact line between rice and non-rice, but I know rice when I see it.

Dude, Please do not get them stupid tubes I swear. If I see 'em, I'll pop 'em... lmao, I'm j / k

Like I said on the first page.. IF you get the ones from LTUNED wouldnt be that bad..

Just tuck 'em in nicely so you cant see 'em unless you get underneath the car.. Connect them to the Mud Lamps and your good to go..

So only and only if your car is OFF and you approach to it at night they would light up. And if your with your boys/girls they would be like, "OHHH Sexy".. Then that would be cool..

Its already cool enough that you can open the car without a key and it would unlock by just putting your hands behind the handle without even touching it..

However, Neon tubing is Rice..

MrMark All you "rice" experts, please explain the definition of "rice" as it applies to mods. I must be out of the loop....

Rice: an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. This practice is in direct contrast to the "stealth" or "sleeper" style of automotive modification, where a vehicle may have major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model. In this manner, the appellation can apply to any vehicle regardless of country of origin. The most commonly modified cars are sport compacts, but the term can apply to any class of vehicle, including trucks.

For more info... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner

Ex..
a. unnecessary mufflers that give 0hp.. and are just loud for no reason..


b. Body kits ( front, back, side, fenders, etc ) with extra slides to make it look aggressive or whatever.. Adds on weight, weight on car, no good in racing..

( Stock with Lips = Nice and Clean ... Over exegerated lip = rice )

c. any type of neon tubes on the exterior of the car..



d. Wings/Spoiler. I'm not even going to stress this one. Everyone knows what spoilers are rice or not.


e. Hoods with slit and weird shape.. Also, EVEN if its carbon fiber still rice.


f. Stickers do not add on HP..


g. Angel lights and other clear lights.. If its not a BMW you should not have angel halo type headlights.. One reason why I dont like the the IS300 for its clear lights, looks ricey..


Well if I'm wrong, PLEASE correct me as I believe all the items above are rice..

what is worse is domestic cars that are using the import scene to add worthless mods.


Good definition ^^^^^^

I still like the IS300's all those lights were a knock off of the Altezza lights. So if the IS300's lights weren't knocked off would you still not like it?

kilo6, like I stated for the "JDM VIP LED" above, would you still consider that rice the way I said it should be set up.. ( If I had extra cash laying around and I have all my mods done probably consider it )... Honestly.. Just so as I'm walkin to the car it lights up like.. I'm VIP and my car opens without keys lol.. lmao.. ::talks to self:: okay enough..

No. I dont like clear lights for nothing.. If i was to own a IS300, I would mod it to be all red like most of us do to our ISx50.. Just Incase, I'm talking about the IS300 backlights.

I actually seen this on a IS300 and i thought it was completly useless it wasnt bright or anything just a halo of a neon.
