Ricer or Enthusiast?
Most people who want to deck out there car and put aftermarket body kits are labeled ricers. Why is this? Maybe it'll come out looking clean who knows? These people arn't ricers they're enthusiasts. You cant just focus one one aspect of a car. We all know the rules of performance enhancement. The four S's: Suspension, Sound, Style and Speed. Ricers are the idiots who throw on euro lights and big ass wings with exhuast thinking they're bad asses. Correct me if im wrong please other wise dont be ignorant.

I'm surprised people don't have their trunks open and their subs facing out to increase the efficiency.
Those huge combat front bumpers will also tremendously increase aerodynamics. I'm surprised riceboys haven't thought of a way to place all those dimples found on the underside of the new Lexus LS430 all over their cars to improve aerodynamics...
haha I'm ranting...

I don't consider a body kit rice at all unless it's all beat to crap and the guy is trying to show it like it's better than other bumpers. I think most body kit front bumpers are ugly, so I'd go for stock with a lip. Sides and rear usually come out looking nice.
So suddenly when is it nice to have a good stereo? If you listen to music like me, you'd want it. My next car will have almost no engine mods, huge suspension mods, huge stereo, and probably little other. I guess that'll make the BMW rice

The problem is that the number of cars with the aluminum wings, unpainted cracked-up body kits, 17's in the back, stock steelies in the front far outnumber the nice and clean rides. I have always felt that the people with the nice rides actually have a clue, whereas the others deserve all of the heat they attract.
Something to keep in mind tho... if you are going to build up a car,
BUILD IT HOW YOU LIKE IT!
**** what everyone else says. So you like the style and image. Fine, then do all kinds of crazy sh!t and make it look decent. You like the boomin system? Go for it! The bottom line is it's YOUR $$. It's YOUR car. Build it so that YOU are happy with it. People just get too caught up in what others think if their cars. I have seen it time and time again... some kid at a show talking about how this APC spoiler is the latest and greatest thing on the market!! When asked if he LIKED it, he sidestepped the answer, only to exclaim that it is awesome and looks a lot like the one in F&F, so he wanted one for his car too. :ghey:
And as for the performance thing: same thing goes. If you are fine with a car running 14's...that's cool. But KNOW YOUR ROLE. Speed is fun and cool and all. But people get so damn bent on numbers, and instaltly label soleone a ricer for wanting their car to look different. Let's face it, if they were so bent on going fast, they wouldn't be driving a Honda.
Have a nice day
