wheels/ hood that matches the engine= not ricey.

18 in diamater exhaust and the wrong brand of car performance stickers (TRD on a hyundai etc.) two tier spoiler, not color matched, or even close to looking like it was made for your car..... now, those are ricey.

Man, everyone these days are so worried about being "Rice"...



Do your research and find the best suited parts. Those people that are "ricers" have NO IDEA what they're doing on their cars. They find something, slap it on, and drive off. You my friend, knows what you're doing. Thus, makes you a NON ricer.

not rice...esp. if molded right...then it'll look sexy...
just don't put a "GT-Four" sticker/emblem on ur car

and the wheels wouldn't be rice at all since they don't say "celica" and are Toyota neways...

post some pics when u get it all finished

any hood scoop that is real (w/a hole in the hood unlike 99 model v6 mustang) will be functional, obviously cuz it'll help cool the engine...but u knew that already
