Default Pics of my EK coupe. Does it look ricey?





no mods, but just wanted opinions because some people saying my ride is rice. If it's rice I'm a just return it back to stock. Let me know everyone.

why is your passenger door open. To me it doesn't look like rice. I don't like the foglights though.

Nothing spectacular... but not ricey from this view. Fogs look a bit off.... and are slightly too "Pepboys" for my taste. It doesnt have a fartie does it?

I don't like the blue tint fog lights w/ the dark scheme. What are the plans?

looks like a stock civic to me. Honestly i really dont see anything on your ride that suppose to be ricey. It looks good to me. And who care's what ppl say. Its not their ride. Its nice and clean looking.

Yah, I don't like the foglights either myself, but what can you do when you're dad puts them on says it's a present from him? It's got sentimental meanings to it. Yah I know I need some rims. I wanted to get some 15 bronze slipstreams. I wanna put a ls motor in there and later forced induction.

lower it a bit more and add rims

also, a 98 conversion wouldn't be a bad idea

Ummm...how about no?? Having a car dumped all the way down makes it more difficult to drive and doesnt help handling at all. And a 98 front end is the exact same as a 96 and 97. If he wanted the newer front end that would be off of a 99-00

98 Conversion huh? How would he convert his current set up to the 98? Looks like a 96-98 to me.

I think a nice set of wheels would really add to the overall appeal/look of the car

I think Ricey said it correctly the first time. Dumped does not equal good handing. No suspenion travel means shitty handling. Simple as that. Dumped = riding on bump stops a good deal of the time.

IMO rice usually calls attention to one's vehicle. Your car right now wouldn't get much attention from me. Good or bad. The foglights suck sorry. I know they have "sentimental" value, but one could be "accidently" broken and then you'd have to take the other one off. You need rims BAD! Those hubcaps are making me depressed.
