It looks good minus the wing. And I could definatly see a carbon fiber hood and some better rims (sorry not my style).

you ever hear of track racing? You need the WHOLE car to be planted, not just the drive wheels. I hate when people think only the drive wheels need DF.

I didn't say that hood was CF. I said I could see (meaning I want to see) a CF hood on there. I just like the black hood mixed with the white body.

Yarg!

I don't care who makes it, that kit makes the car look like some deranged cartoon fish. Functional or not, it looks like ***.

I like the rims though.

I have to agree. The hood looks rather deformed, as does the lack of a grill. That being said, I don't think it can be called rice so long as the parts actually add to the performance. Of course, that's assuming that "rice" is a technical term anyway.

The bottom of the front end kinda reminds me of the eclipse/talon. Maybe it's just me....

I wish I could agree with that, but there is a dude with a 88 or so accord where I live whose only "mod." is a huge mugen sticker on the windsheild.

Well, since the Mugen car is an actual track car, there is no rice on it since its functional. However, same car on the street: Rice-tastical.
