Is this a new "rice" trend?

yes splitters are "new"..... welcome to last year...
and the "fluffy" cloud look has been around forever too. its jus a prop to display your car.

the cloud look is played but the word "rice" is getting old too. thats so rice blah blah blah.. jus cuz something is ugly and distasteful doesn't means its rice.. its jus ugly and/or distasteful.

those are canards....of course those are all fake homemade/APC kinds... except the ones on the JDM ITR front end car...those look like the actual ones track cars use...of course its all completely useless on the street. its for added downforce at the track.

however, the first two cars..... they dont do shit except imitate that look (and not so good either) because theyre practically horizontal. :slap:

Its cotton stuffed in a Kia Sephia's engine compartment! ugh! That has to be the first time I've seen someone modify a Kia! :barf:

I didn't even know they made body kits for Kias and I wonder if the cotton does anything for the engine?

Cotton in the engine bay, I hope they leave it in and it catches on fire.
