Default Woul you call this RICE?





can you call this riced out? I mean, they all got flashy paint jobs, decals, flames, different color spoilers etc.
I'm sure you woul'd call this rice, I want to give my sedan same look as theese cars, but I'm sure everybody will call it a ricemobile by then!

I need your opinion!

if you want to do it then DO IT! and unless you plan on racing your car at actual tracks, i don't see why you'd want to make your sedan look like a racing car if it's just being driven on the street. makes no sense to me. But if you plan on entering in SCCA events or something then go ahead and slap on some number and crazy paint, drive to the track, and have a ball.

If you're trying to attract attention for your sponsors then the crazy colors make sense. And if you are going fast enough to actually use the wing and front lip to any effect, go for it. Otherwise

yeah' I plan to do some time to time lapping and solo, as much as we can get where I live. but this is a daily driver.
so you can explain all those flash parts and crazy jobs only as sponsor attaction thing? I'm sure some of those cars juste try to look flashy and different.
That civic got a Wing West kit btw.

so it'd be a daily driven car that will see some occasional track time? Then no, i'd stop thinking about painting it in some crazy scheme and ****. All those cars you posted are dedicated track cars. i'd be embarassed to drive one around on the street, looking all homo and stuff. seriously, that bmw is queer.

this was taken directly from the rules for this forum

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.

you should read them sometime.just click hear. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=278663

it's a race car. It's functional for one. And second, those cars wouldn't exist without their sponsors, hence the stickers

Differences...

Those cars: Race cars. Used for the track.

Your car: Grocery getter. Used for driving your kids to school.

Moral of my post: Don't plaster stickers on your car and be a poseur. There's nothing worse than faux race cars, and the people that drive them.

They are race cars and need sponsors, they don't reallyl have a choice. But the first and second are not good looking, but eye catching for sure which should be what they are after.
