check out RarestRX list on that. You will have to search as it has been covered before, and I don't recall if it was in the 2nd gen section or in the lounge where threads like this belong

Look at the civics in your town with cut springs, 2 story spoilers, 5 gauges on a stock car, speedholes, etc.. Thats rice. Whats nice is widebody kits, decent sized turbos, 400HP, etc..

What you like is nice and what you don't like is rice.
Everyone has an opinion, some think aftermarcket wings are rice, some don't.
Some think having a body kit on a stock car is rice, other don't.
Its all preferance, and most people that call things rice are mostly just haters.
My MX3 gets called rice all the time, it don't hurt my feelings, I can stomp most peoples cars with a N/A Aspec motor.

Anything that makes the car go fast is nice. Anything that tries to make a slow car look fast is rice.

IMHO, nice is anything that looks good and has a purpose (to the car or performance wise), rice is the opposite. Like the big 52 inch wing on a Civic is rice, since to my knowledge it doesn't have a purpose. Other then show

neon is usually distasteful, along with led lights where they dont belong(headlight washers, license plate frame), some of those more creative wheels are pretty awful looking, cut springs, awful colors and 'racing stripes' usually look bad unless the car has some serious hp, a electronic speaker that makes bov sounds is rice, and finially taillights that dont belong on the car ie integra lights. i saw a nice Z32TT with teg lights molded in today at school...i couldnt believe my eyes, i wanted to cry...body kits can be stupid looking or they can be nice, just depends on the kit. thats all i can think of for now.

stop worrying about what other people think and do whatever you like to your car.

that being said, if you put euro lights and underglow on a FC, i will shoot you.

threads like these are retarded, and there is pretty much no good that can come of them.

when you mod your car, you essentially open up the invitation for anyone to call anything on your car "rice". that's because everyone's perception of "rice" is different.

keep your car stock, and you're safe, if you care about other peoples' opinions of your car.

MY biggest pet peeve is cars modded to the point of not being driven. show cars. ugh. SAs, FBs, and FCs don't make good show cars, unless perhaps they look EXACTLY like they just came off the showroom floor. and factory stock import show cars never win prizes.

i guess you can pull off an FD show car. but 1st and 2nd gens are more utilitarian in style and should just be driven.

Aye, not to rant, but a pet peeve of mine is when people confuse "euro" lights with "ricer" lights. Euro FC tail lights are little more than a red lense on one of the reverse lights. Ricer lights, well...

i dunno. some things are pretty universally considered rice. for example, blue/yellow/unpainted origami looking bodyparts. also any "ghetto" mods like putting a spoiler on your hood for downforce on the front wheels. Spinner wheel covers, thats rice. carbon fiber look hoods.

i dunno. i guess its your opinion and location. in on ther countries waht we consider rice is very cool. i go to thailand a lot and overthere they have lights up the ying-yang. but thats cool overthere. but most people will consider certain things rice.
