I don't see what so rice about. Front lip and hood? I was thought I was going to see flared fenders, darth vader bumpers, GT style spoiler and 20 inch rims. I guess rice got a new meaning now.

same thing i was thinking... just cause he didnt like the way he looked he said it was rice, the hood is kinda ricey but thats it, lip doesnt look bad, stop trying to be cool like everyone else and try to "JDM" everything out!

hopefully by the end of the summer i will have teh hood done, and possibly the front lip. definately need to get some adjustable shocks to go with the springs. thats the plan for summer, next spring new wheels, race header and k-pro possibly.

not trying to look "cool" as you so elegantly put it, i just like very clean and simple items on cars. i don't need all the flashy materials. i just need it to look sweet, go fast and get me from a to b plus the overly excessive long cruises i will be taking in it........nothing beats wide open backroads

Rims are kind of big but not too bad looking. and the hood is blah. But otherwise its not to bad. You have my permission to leave it be. just change the hood.

That's a pretty good price for the Type-S whether stock or not, right?

You can still sell off most of the parts to go towards what you want to upgrade to anyway.
