people are gonna rant on about how it is, but honestly it depends.

IMO rice is form over function.

I don't think that a body kit automatically makes someone a ricer. Some of the cleanest cars I've ever seen have had a kit. It's just that most kits that people have are less-than-tasteful, or are out of place on their car.

I'm not really feelin' the Feels/Buddy Club combo since it's a rather old look, and a little extreme for myself .

You don't get all weak in the knees when you see a Top Secret widebody Supra? Ooohh mama

How about a Top Fuel kit on a JDM-front Teg?

My personal faves

lets get somthing straight, when i say in general. i mean for hondas.

other cars look good with SOME body kits, yes the top secret supra is spank-o-rific and i have looked into a kit for my 240 (but decided the JDM front end stock is enough.)

there are VERY VERY few kits for hondas that look good. most are over the top and ugly.

Couldn't agree more

I kinda dig the GP Sports kits for 240s. The more understated ones.

I will save Tom the effort.

7. This is NOT a place for asking what is or is not ricey. I am sick of the term itself, and I am even more sick of why anyone gives a damn if a certain part is ricey or not. Also there will be no more "look at this rice" crap in here either. All it is is a chance for people to post ***** and it accomplishes nothing more than making GOOD topics sink to the bottom of the heap.

I have a CWest front bumper on my car. IMO it's the cleanest front bumper out there.

feels front bumper looks like ***,...buddy club side and rear are okay and look good (i have the sides and rear),..if having a body kit makes you a ricer then i am one but i dont give a damn if people call me one,...i have work in my motor to back up my "ricey" body kit,...and if the kitted hatch wont win a race then i have a "stock" looking hatch at home that will ,...but its all up to personal preference,..i like some kits but most are ugly as sin

IMO Ricer means somebody who looks fast (ex.stickers, body kits, rims, tails,etc..) and have nothing to back it up.
