TO Rice or Not To Rice: That is the question

It seems that the last couple of weeks people have been thread "bashing" (i dont really see it as soo but I know some do) and in each time that I've read its been about the "Thats rice" and the "No its not", plus some people taking comments to heart....

either way I say lets focus all that hate+love into one thread so that we can keep the others "clean." I'll post pics of my ride (below) and you can judge for yourself if I am Rice or Not Rice. And if you have the balls (or vag) then post yours up as well.

However be prepared for some nice (if your lucky) and not so nice comments.

Let the insanity insue!!!

Huge spoiler: negative
VTEC/NISMO stickers: negative
underbody neons: negative
spraypaint paint job: negative
huge chrome rims: negative
4" coffee can exhaust: negative

That's about as un-rice as it gets, a bit on the boring side, even

But what's the verdict on this, the plan for what my car will look like in the end?



I mean... we've got a big "go faster" stripe, big rear spoiler, a wide body kit that makes the car almost wider than it is long, eyebrows for god's sake... Sounds like rice, right?

Well the word rice is gettin on my nerves cuz people have different perspectives on it. Adding a spoiler is rice, people say its not. Changing the body is rice others say its not. Frankly in my mental dictionary says that whatever u do to a car is ricing it.

Anyway my yaris still needs to drop and get rims added to it. Though everyone has their perspective on what they like and dont like. Anyway doesnt bother me with some negative comments, i made the decision to paint or do whatever to my car and it was my choice.

Such as the fake netz rear symbol i aint rollin in a car that has different badges front and back, thats just me. Others will think differently.

Anyway small pic of my car now in my avatar.

it all depends what you're going to do with the car after you add or do anything.

if you are adding functional add-ons and are racing the car on the weekends at an auto-cross or drag then its not rice.

IMHO

if you put a fart-can on an automatic, then thats rice...
if you put a really low hanging body kit on a car and still expect to drive it, then thats rice...
if you installed a tach on a car that you don't compete in, then thats rice...

the list goes on.

Some people don't know how to follow the rules.

Vodkalush - not rice

eTiMaGo - Rice as hell (but oddly beautiful)


Have at it bitches:

vodkalush - maki rice (clean and simple)
etimago - yeung chou fried rice (looks complicated and busy, but terribly simple when looked at as a whole)
hasher - jasmine rice (clean and simple, classic)
yaris tte jwrc - jasmine rice (clean and simple, classic) .. as for your echo, i am not a fan of it
violin - sushi rice (lots care and handy work to make it look good)

I often look at other cars for inspiration as to what to do with my car, and what not to do with my car.

Go ahead, make my day:

We're all ricers at heart. Its OK boys.

eTiMaGo's concept definitely takes the rice cake.

But its also the one I'd want the most.

well, IMO at least.. the yaris LB is one of those cars that you can do almost anything to, and it will still look "good"... something like the XB, although the XB you can basically do whatever you want and it doesnt seem out of place.

Which, this car is very "rice" made in japan f0 realz.

im just happy i havent seen any stickers on these cars yet. you know, those magical stickers that add horsepower to your car. at least, thats what all those civic and integra owners will tell you. points for violin's moonroof and leather interior, and points to etimago's aspirations. minus the white racing stripe, that will be the hottest yaris around, flat out...

Does it get any ricier?

hey, a few stickers of things you actually have is fine, dont get me wrong. and if you're sponsored, i understand that you need to make that money. but i've seen some cars that make nascars look plain. and its not just the performance companies. i absolutely love it when people put stickers of their sound systems, like alpine, pioneer, JL, etc... why not just leave the keys beside the car so the thieves dont have to break the window...

good points, one of the cars on campus had a full "UPS" design complete with brown paint job and huge vinyl logos on each side.... I wish I'd snapped some pics
