Default Am I ricer?

Hi
I have 99 civic EX
This is what I got and I like it.
This is family car and I'm not using it for tuning or races.
But I like to fill that my car is not like others.
So I start to put some aftermarket parts like TYC headlight Altezza tail lights M3 mirrors etc.
Now some my friends says that my car start to looks like ricer.
What you thing? What I should to add and what to remove.

lol. This implies that if it was straight, you'd have no problem with it.

I don't like telling people what to do with their car's looks, because it's kind of a matter of opinion, but yes, that is very riced out. Personally, I would get rid of the badges, altezzas, fog lights, windshield sticker, and the front grille insert.

Man you really shouldn't care about what people say about your car...i hate when people build cars to other standards..you should have your own view on what you think your car should look like. They are not the people driving it...

but if you really wanna know
1. Get some Tein S-tech springs
2. lose the OBX badge
3. replace your Altezza tails with OEM
4. get some TYC spoon style mirrors
6. slap some rims on it
7. Replace those front light with you OEM ones

that would make the car look a lil more cleaned up.

Who cares what people think or say. We are all ricers one way or another. Old rice, Jdm rice, and the Clean rice.

car is horrifying right now if u ask me... but.... its not as bad as some ive seen, there is still time to turn back. Lose the hubcaps IMMEDIATELY or get some rims, steelies look better than hubcaps in my opinion.

Maybe also ditch some of the more "ricier" badges and such like mentioned earlier, other than that your good to go.

Yeah it needs work, number one in my book would be to lose the tail lights. But other than that, I'm kinda diggin it. But I'm a ricer at heart so...
