What constitutes a Rice-Mod ??
I see all over about no to rice-mods.
and thats such a rice-mod.
So what determines if a mod is rice or not ??
it may seem like a stupid question, but what
kind of mods are considered rice ???
who determines or says that one mod is rice and one mod is
and thats such a rice-mod.

Rep Power: 0 IMO....rice is like puttin a sticker on your car that you dont even have a product from them, like putting GREDDY on ur front windshield on a bone stock car...with no greddy parts...
some may consider altezzas rice, big wings can also be considered rice...
heres something you may like....

Rep Power: 0 I say if you like it, do it. I don't think there is a set standard of what rice is. Just remember that if you think Uncle ben would have it on his ride...then it's rice to you. Forget everyone else and be yourself.

Rep Power: 0 headlight eyebrows, led wws, more than 2 pair of lights on the front, piaa and other lightrange reducing bulbs, huge wheels with rubberband tires, stuff like angel-eyes (bimmer wannabe), stickers or vinyl decals(any sticker, unless it makes fun of your model car; the ones that advertise mods you even have are rice), snowplow front bumpers, air intakes where the intercooler should be (turbo wannabe), wings, anything with "powered by honda", cars low enough to get owned by speedbumps, "racing stripes", karbon-krylon (carbon fiber), z3 fenders (again with the bimmer wannabe), huge windsheild banners, painting drum breaks, high pitched exhausts; the list is longer than this.
you might not have these mods, but rice is also determined by driver actions such as:
tailgating inches from the car in front of you
cruising around in 1st gear so people can hear the exhaust
picking a race with a car you know is slower than you and that you can beat easily
highway racing
weaving in and out of traffic
cutting people off
even THINKING about attempting a smokeshow in a non-FI 4 banger (unless you got one of those 1500 lb lotuses or something)
speeding up and down a specific road to atract attention because of your exhaust

If it has absolutly NO purpose at all, it is rice.

Dude, you are being a little harsh! What do you consider "not-rice"? I went to the members rides and you are completey stock so i don't even know why you are here. I have big wheels and it makes me car look good, i have lowered it added a body kit, there is nothing wrong with that. I have PIAA's too, and they make the field of view better not worse like you think! I have stickers on my car of items I have bought and used. It just seems you went a little overboard man, I think you are just jealous of everyone else because their cars are nicer than yours!

and no, not a car on this board makes me jealous. jealousy is for the weak. most of the member ride pages give me one hell of a laugh though...some of the things people list as mods just to make their lists look big are downright hilarious.
edit: tests have been done on aftermarket vs oem bulbs and guess which ones dominated? oem. dont know where the site went that u can read about it though

Rep Power: 0 Yup my rich parents pay for all my mods, my car, my clothing, the purified air im breathing, the typist that is typing this post for you, the import model that is giving me a back massage and even the person sewing me new clothing for me to wear tommarow. Get real, hate to clue you but if my parents were paying for my car and mods I sure in hell wouldent be driving a civic. My parents like to teach me responsiblity and maturity therefor I work. Grow up and go cry on a diffrent website, and learn to take a joke.

Rep Power: 0 not crying, just pointing out your oh so classic spoiled richboy attitude
edit:
uh huh so all the mods you claim to have, you paid for out of your own pocket? those wheels probably run about 1000 another 200 for the projectors, etc. etc.
you make all this money off of a sub highschool education? (as noted from your previous posts which looked like they had a chimp typing them)
i dont think so son. let me remind you again that your 7th grade english seat is calling you back.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah actually I get paid 13.75 and hour working in the repair shop for a construction inustry (That I have been working for for going on 4 years now), fixing trucks and doing tune ups on equipment. I work all summer at 58-62 hours a week and during the school year I work saterdays and sundays.. 
Plus here in wisconsin we get time and a half for anything over 40 hours and double pay on sundays. Oh my that means I get 275 dollars on sundays before taxes alone... And because im a "kid" all that gets taken out is social security. I also pay for the same lovely things that you do such as food, and housing your girlfriend. So all that money goes to hmm collage and my car and a lil for daily living. So any other theorys?

you need to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing, and work on your own car and your own life. psuedochrist is obviously a hard working kid, which is a lot more than i can say about many guys i knew at that age. he obviously has more maturity than u do.

People mod their cars for whatever reason--to make it faster or for looks or just be different--that is not your business. Voice your opinion and let the others discuss the topic. I don't understand why people bash each other on this board, and the stereotype that everyone who's got nice mods are kids with loaded parents. You did sound like you're jealous.
Civics are built for mods, from it's native land in Japan people all mod their Civics, so we're just carrying on the tradition. In the US, the Civic happens to be the best selling car for a number of reasons. If you like your Civic stock for the OEM advantage, then cheers to you.
