Rep Power: 321 Since when was Turbos and body kits rice? Maybe some generic *** body kits, but lip kits and others nicely done are not rice. And turbo? Rice...ummmmm don't think so.

Think of it this way: Would my car fit in on "2 fast 2 furious"...?
If you can answer "yes" to that, you are rice.
Or think of it this way: Is my car multi-colored (not including CF hoods)?
If you can answer "yes" to that, you are rice. I guess they are 2 different types of rice, but... still rice.
Neons and a bodykit don't mean you are rice, unless you have your neons on 24/7. Just to clairify...

Rep Power: 812 thats nice. I just saw an old car from like 1980s with a blue neon kit. It was pretty bright as least, but the front and rear tubes were showing completely and I could see tape over em. It was the riciest thing I ever saw. When I had mine, all tubes were tucked and yea I drove around with em on the first day for fun and got pulled over. But that night EVERYONE was looking at em. Even got some "those are so sweet" comments. So do it right and nobody will laugh. I've seen the led kits and imo they look ricey cause of how dim they are. I saw someone driving with a red one and pressing all the different modes on it. I was thinking okay you're dumb. But for a show neons are definately good to have.

Using your car once a week? What a waste of a nice car
I understand though. The first pic of your car I liked more than that 2nd pic... the red rims are.... OUT there, but still very nice.
My basic point is that neons are not rice at all, if they are installed decently. I think people that don't have neons are just jealous. It's not like us who have them, have them on 24/7! I doubt I had mine on more than a few minutes at a time, when they were working
I just burnt my tongue

Rep Power: 812 um yea when I had my neons, everyone would be turning heads. The first and only night I drove with them (first day they were installed), girls were saying how sweet it looked, cars sitting across the intersection were all turning their heads as I went by, and many more comments when I turned em on in parking lots and drive-ins. Then the first night I got pulled over haha. But damn they were super bright. On a dark road coming home I could actually see the light reflecting from the ground up off the bottom of the mirrors. And the reason? they were installed clean! no tubes showing, I even cut holes in the rear bumper to tuck it under there.

I've got green under my 04 Black VP with lip kit... So that means I have lights under the car in my door handles, under my seat, last but not least in my cup holders it's kinda like the 06 Scion xa's neon option... but all in all I like them.

I'm expecting the car to look like something out of the beginning of "Fast and the Furious"
