^because it now has the power to back up its looks.

This whole thread was started based off of a picture.
Everyone bases RICE off of looks, correct? If you cant hear or see it run & do not know what is under the hood, then people assume it is RICE, correct?
Remember the definition of RICE given at the beginning of this thread. "RACE INSPIRED" So how then are RED painted rims & WOOD spoilers RICE? I dont know of ANY racing org that uses wooden spoilers & body kits. Hell body kits themselves dased off teh def given are not rice, because they are not "race inspired" the are just LOOKS inspired". What racing or requires VIS carbon fiber hoods & Invader body kits? None that I know of, so how are they "race inspired" & considered RICE?

Granted ALOT of crap on the road looks really REALLY stupid. But that dont make it RICE...by the definition given.
Now **** like Dual exhaust on a Neon, Aveo, or any other NA 100HP 4 cyl I would consider rice. Fake Red painted brake calipers that look like BREMBO's I would consider RICE. **** like that.

you are seriously over thinking this. Look at that first post again. Click the link and see that sweet ass 7 sec 0-60 time. If you think that is enough "go" for that terrible "show", I am happy for you. That means you will never have to buy anything with more than 110hp because it will be enough for you.

looks like a poodle sat in the car and shook itself silly. not in my taste.

I could not agree more with you. Your crazy man!

Not overthinking anything. I could care less, just trying to see why some people say things are RICE, yet they do not fit their own definition. I dont need to think about any of this, as I am not the one whom defined it. I've been dealing with "riced out cars(once called hoopties or Cornbread..for the American version, camaro, mustang, ect)" since the early 90's. I've seen it all.

As for the 7 sec 0-60. Yeah, it is slow as hell. BUT if he somehow managed to knock almost THREE seconds off from a stock Aveo...then obviously he must have something done.

Regardless how is that bodykit rice...bt definition. It has NOTHING to do with "Race Inspired". If it does show me teh sanctioning body, that uses body kits like that.

A 14 sec 1/4 mile civic is still slow as balls. BUT considering for fast it is compared to stock, it is still a good achievement & I give them respect for doing it. Some are just SADLY misguided in the aesthetics dept.



Not trying to talk **** or stir the pot. Just trying to have a decent conversation about uglyass cars. Some say RICE some say Bad taste. Either or. We all agree they are ugly as hell, correct?

His times are fake. Look at his sick 110hp.
