huh? What's your definition of rice?
I thought "rice" was either a vehicle -- DOMESTIC OR IMPORT!! -- made to look fast but isn't, or distasteful modifications (i.e. fart pipe, huge wing, bad paint job among other things), which this car would obviously qualify for.

Ugly, hideous, all of these opinions I can accept. But it is not rice, I don't care what's under the hood. As a crafted work, like it or not, it is well done. Rice is not everything you don't like. It is half-a$$ed or mis-applied modification that is in poor taste. And again, "poor taste" is not everything you don't like. "Poor taste" implies that most reasonable people would identify, right away, that something is very off-kilter or out-of-sorts, aesthetically. Like, ummm, this...

its a car, with a body kit, clear lights, phugged up hood, painted aluminum wing, cut springs and yellow rims and ugly paint.
its ugly imho. very ugly.
you think that's craft? its a bodykit painted.
the wing is painted. the hood looks like shudders from a window.
but
to each their own. someone has to love what they're doing in order to get that far.

the first car is really really ugly. the paint is not eye pleasing and the altezzas stand out to much against. the yellow wheels while do go togetehr with teh theme are still yellow. the kit doesnt look too bad but the metal 2 X 4 strapped to teh trunk serves no purpose since downforce is not needed. however, props the guy for doing something "different" and doing well on piecing it together. the 2nd car in my opinion doesnt look to bad. the curves are pleasing while the headlights are a little strange. id rock it.
