I guess ricers love their cars as much as we do, they just have really strange ideas about style

Priceless quotes from the "Spooling TURBO device for any NISSAN SENTRA!!":

1. Want your NISSAN SENTRA(ALL YEARS/MAKES/MODELS) to sound TURBOCHARGED charged [sic] like this?
2. Why spend thousands of dollars on a turbo system if you just want the awesome sound? [Editor (me) remarks: Yes, when looking for my turbo, that's precisely what I was primarily looking for: the awesome sound.]
3. The higher your rpm rises, the higher pitch spool the device will deliver, muck [sic] like a real turbo!!
4. THIS IS MY 3G MITSU ECL. GT-V6....I WOULD NOT PUT ANY JUNK ON MY CAR!!!! I GET ASKED EVERY WEEK, 'WHO DID YOUR CHARGER?", NO JOKE!!
5. Taken off easily if you want to share it with a friend.

Ok, ok I'm done, so guys! Who did your charger!!!???

Porsche owners can be rice too, such as S badges on non S cars.

My all time fave is rear brake drums painted red.

Since we're on the topic - this is a photo I got with my car when I bought it. Probably some time in the early 90's. Rice?

Rice?? I dont know. Maybe. A person might be able to argue Carrera as in the 924 roots that placed in LeMans a few years earlier. It was called a Carrera despite being a 924. I guess you could say it became the 944, so its not technically rice. And i dont see EVERY non-performance mod as rice. Its questionable.

edit: I actually really like that color scheme, i think that car looks great! Especially with the red wheels!

I have it to beat you all... I will have to take pics otherwise you wont believe me. There is a Toyota not far from a mates place that has this custom hood scoop, side skirts, roof vent, and T-soiler on the rear, beautiful craftmanship. Made of MDF and bolted on. The bonet scoop, which does not scoop, much like the roof vent are twice the size of a shoe box. The sides of the boxes are nalied together. The interior is a show stopper though. VHT paint throughout. The steering whell dash, doors, seats, pillars, roof lining. Blue VHT paint on the gear ****, pedals, everywhere! Even some on the windows! He has not painted to wooden spoilers to give that English regal feel to it I think.

Probably the muflers/exhast systems... that make their cars sound ridiculous. How can anyone think that some of these systems sound good?

Ater that, it would probably be the *interior*, yes "interior" neon strip lighting that I've seen some guys put on their dashes... shining straight at them.
