those are different circumstances, those come with bigger engines in them and are supposed to be modded heavily and are used for races. i also understand where you are coming from but i think that keeping it at a minimum is better. just add the decals that come with the mods if you want but dont broadcast the make of the car you have or the type of car it is. people can see what it is and if they cant then they dont deserve to know what it is. i mean no disrespect on this but i think that the stickers and everything else should be left to the ricers.
again my opinion.

yeah the attention it got was about how bad it ran on the track!! but the graphics didnt add the 5 hp per sticker did they?? no i think that stuff like that should be left to the ricers. but i guess it is to each his own..... if that is what you like then that is what you should do. but dont expect everyone to pat you on the back because you made one our tours a ricer!

I see an over-extensive usage of the term "ricer" here. Speed Demon's car dosen't look anything like a ricer. Trust me, I have to paint and paste graphics on cars all day... I know a ricer when I see one.

RICE is having a primered car with yellow decals all over it, or having a GT-R badge on your Kia. Or triple-exhaust on your Hyundai Sonata. Or neon yellow brake drums on your maroon Integra. That's rice. Graphics and even wings are not nessesarily ricey as long as they are applied to a deserving car. If these are ricey features, consider the TOCA Touring Contours rice.

Theres no definitive line drawn on what rice is and isn't. It's sort of like asking whether NOS is cheating or not. We could go 'round all day. You said it best when you said "To each his own". Just leave it at that. wink

See? There's nothing ricey about that. Ricey is taking my friends 4-dr civic, throwing altezzas on it, writing ABOB Racing on the back bumper (His name is Andy Robert, hence ABOB) and putting a graphic of a gigantic Lion's head in red on your back window. What the hell sense does that make?? NONE! That's rice. Sport stripes like that... not rice, in my mind anyways. Would you go up to a Viper GTS owner and tell him that his car is a flaming pile of rice? I don't think so!!!
