Default is my car rice? please help.

hey everyone....is my car "riced out"?. i have taken a lot of precautions to what i have done to it. please let me know if there is anything i need to do to make it anti-rice and cleaner. the reason i am wondering is because a friend of mine who drives a VW called me a ricer the other day. i told him to *uck off but i am still curious. thanks in advance.

no your car doesnt look rice, its actually pretty clean. The only thing that I dont like are the Euro Clear corner, but other than thats its pretty tight.

I dont find it ricey. In most people eyes (your friend) anyone who attempts to make a honda look nice is considered a ricer.

Looks good to me. Just lose the clear corners for some amber ones. Or maybe some one-piece headlights like these:

dude, your car is not rice. Just ditch the clear corners and it will be as clean as can be. If he considers your car rice, you must not have many hardcore ricers in your area.

It's ok but you need some darker wheels or maybe bronze would look tight and remove those side moldings

Nice 4th Gen!!!! Your definately ain't rice, but I would chage the corners, or get some JDM one-piece headlights. Maybe paint your moldings also, it'll make a very big difference in the look of your car. Thats about it, looks very clean though. What kind of wheels are those, they remind me of some Volks???

Just paint the moldings and get the JDM one piece headlights and it'll look 100x better.

Definitely NOT rice.

paint your side moldings to match your car that would take away from all the different colors you have going on .. if you want to take if further get some different wheels. but if it were my car i would just paint the bottom bumper lights dark amber .. and paint the side moldings
