You think you've seen rice?
For those of you who like this good for you: the world would suck if we'd all think alike.
Anyways this redefines the word rice in my dictionary. Think commercialized rice, or that ricers are so many that marketing departments target them specifically with **** like this :

thats def not a daily driver, but gotta give them credit for the amount of time, work, ideas, and money that took. its an awsome show car for a company or company to show off thier products. so for what it was built for it is awsome.

Rep Power: 0 Awesome? Yeah. In a bad sense.
They got their attention alright. It sure cost them $$$ and some creative and/or hardworking people put time in it. The end result is still the same: a blunt blasphemy against car modding in general.
That's only my two cents..

Rep Power: 374 its an alpine model car - they are all insane (see the center drive ep3). i dont know if you can classify as rice, maybe bad taste, but not to rice. rice is altezzas, shopping cart wings, 1982 caprice's on 30" rims, stuff like that....

Rep Power: 380 i take it you dislike all the alpine cars and also the old school lowriders with the wild body mods and stuff too? do you not realize what a show car is and why people create them?

Rep Power: 0 I dunno...I kinda like it. 
I don't really see "rice", although its "tastefulness" could be debated. To me, it's more of a "re-think", rather like a concept vehicle.
I do like the quality of the exterior graphics.

Rep Power: 368 Props for the work, but I don't see what Elvis (the young one, not the fat bloated travesty who died on his toilet), Ray Charles, Tupac, and what appears to be John Lennon but could just be Harry Potter have to do with custom car audio installs.
Looks to me like more thought went into the airbrushing than the interior layout. Looks jumbled in there, too chaotic to be artistic.

how can you call an 82 caprice on 30s rice???
That is one hella of a car, i would like to see someone here do something that is even half what that car is. Its not one of my favorites but it took alot of time to do that, and i really do not see how you can call it rice in any sense, except where the key goes, that is kinda ricey. Other than the ignition, what else do consider to be ricey?

Rep Power: 271 its the Alpine X5. obviously corporations such as alpine use certain cars as a display case for their products and they come out with something different each year. its not meant to be a daily driver. i dont understand why some of you are making a big deal out of this....
