I don't think that is ricer.


Maybe not rice, but still pretty stupid. Your taking a car that handles fairly decently and ruining all performance.

A surplus of stickers on the back window, slammed, and stretched tires doesnt constitute this as being rice?? Whats it missing, the leer jet spoiler?

A clean, stanced car means they are rice? Let me try to help you understand the difference. They are both ricers, right?

Sure, lets use a 12$ car in the first picture, and a 30k + car in the second and compare!

The second one isnt bad, its just stanced and clean like you said. It doesnt have a wing that you can sit on, its wheels arent at 30• angle, its still functional.

Theres evos at my school, new ones, with the same untasteful mods as the 350z that i posted.

my thoughts

you are looking at it from a logical standpoint. I think its all about style. A style I don't quite understand but theres a hell of alot of styles I don't understand (skinny jeans, orange women with hyper bright lipstick, etc etc). Most people buy a car not really for the performance but cuz they like the way it looks. How many people do you know that have big ass trucks that are made to tow a house? How many people actually do that. Same with performance cars. Like the 350z you posted. You know its capabilities and what you can do with it, but the guy that bought it, he sees it and goes man thats so cool looking especially if I slam it and do all this other stuff to it.

Modifying a car in my opinion is a way to put your own personal taste to the car. The vehicle no matter what it may be, can either A: Look good, sound good, and turn heads || B: Kids that are 16-20 and can't necessarily afford the pieces they want to so instead there hesitant and buy cheap knockoffs that make the car sound horrible but still shows there trying to fit in with other cars they see and hope to one day be able to afford. || Lastly C: Idiots that are attention defiant and lack the common sense from other people so they make there car a horrible mess in order to draw attention to themselves.

I myself have 2 vehicles that both have my personal taste put to them, one is a show car that is still able to be driven daily, the other is just an Integra I picked up and put my own personal touch to it for boredom reasons. Both are for sell ~~
