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.

i don't know about you bro, you'd pick that lettle red [censored] over that crazy lookin Civic
now way ever...I'd show that paint off everyday of my life before I stepped into that red car

For now, we have to assume it is, and a good one. That is the frame within which I judge it.
Where are the ugly "sponsor" stickers? The poorly applied vinyl? The contrasted yellow sail panel and mirrors? The unpainted aluminum wing?
I admit, I'd like to see something more original with the taillights, and overall, it's not "my style," but again, well-done, overall.

I think it's actually a Skoda with, um, several mods.
