Re: No Rice!!!

I never really had fun with my car listening to others telling me what to upgrade. Just do what you want.

Re: No Rice!!!

Yeah as foffie said, you'll be the best person to choose what to do to your car. There are so many different contributing factors that go into what you can or should do to your car.

If you're trying to avoid the rice stay away from: vents, scoops, most non-oem spoilers, most stickers and emblems, or any other cosmetic modification that implies high performance.

It depends on whatever you choose to upgrade first: suspension (coil overs/springs, struts, camber, support bars), engine (header/intake/exhaust), or interior/exterior styling (lips, lights, seats, etc). I would say suspension is the best place to start because I think handling most effects the pleasure and excitement of driving, but it's totally up to you.

Re: No Rice!!!

you need to do what you like and not what everybody else tells you to do thats just ridiculous. also you must already have a recollection of what other people consider rice so why evan ask ???

Re: No Rice!!!

seriously? you resurrect this already dead thread (and I mean dead dead- like FOUR WEEKS AGO dead) and come up with the genius comment of I love rice and eat it everyday? You know you didn't even spell everyday correctly?

I'm sure you have so many knowledgeable contributions just waiting to burst out, but lets not worry so much about your post count...

Seriously? You have nothing better to do than hate on some new kid just joining the forum? What was it that offended you so much that you felt the need to flame this kid? Was it the unwitty comment itself, the lateness, or was it the typing error that really pissed you off?

Get real man.

You don't find it pathetic at all that someone would delve into the forum banks and leave useless comments just to boost their post count?

I was half joking, nothing really pissed me off. I just got a little intrigued when I saw someone had commented on this thread after so long and found that post. Not a huge deal. Definitely not "hating"... just stating the obvious. It's just not that hard to get involved in a beginner level thread conversation and contribute on-topic info.

Okay, I thought my car was as far from rice as it got... But I got told on this forum that it was ricey. You tell me.

Sooooo, with that being said, from what I gather, if ya do any kind of aftermarket modification to the exterior of your vehicle, someone, somewhere is gonna think its ricey. Like everyone else in this thread has said, do your thang main! Let what you like end up on it! Just one thing im sure all of us on this forum will agree on, DO NOT put a humongous spoiler on the back!!!! Other than that, make it look good to you bro.

It's whatever bro, I just dont see the point of taking the time to throw insults around at some random member for a "useless comment".

Boosting post count, are you serious? Why, so it can say Super duper senior member or whatever it is under your name? If people actually care about this then I will agree with u there... pathetic.
