ok.. just as a simple question.. would it be considered rice if you make your car look slower than it is?

like say i dress my sedan up as a civic hybrid? with emblems and front bumper?

of course i would still have my exhaust, and remain NHBP

Not really. As long as you dont put a "Hybrid" emblem on your car.

well.. i was gonna do the whole thing.. but a few things would set it aside form normal hybrids for now... Tails, color, spoiler, mirrors, and sunroof... altho i will probablly get rice tickets.. i dont care.. they are just ignorant ppl if they cant identify a hybrid from a normal civic...
oh.. yea.. i am planning on doing the hybrid emblems...

do what you want. It wouldn't look like rice. It would look unique and make me look twice. Rice is a car with euro tails and a big as spoiler making their car look like a shopping cart. JMO

Get a K20, then do the bumper/taillight conversion. People will never know what hit them.

hehe .. I think that would be funny. I was thinking about doing that ... I have an EX and I was gonna put DX emblems on it ... but then again, I have painted door handles, mirrors and a moonroof ... so yea, that wouldn't really work.

Dont go with the emblems man. When you bring your car in at Honda they might try giving your car a jolt

Being how stupid many of them are, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to "charge her up" at some hybrid charging station.

i think the best way to make a rice car is to put a big nissan GT-R emblem on the grill instead of an H. lol.

i actually saw a V6 mustang at pep boys (its next to my dealership) with a GT-R emblem on the grill and a Type R windsheild banner. they should be killed.

but yea... you gotta get the weird civic hybrid 14" alloys to make it truly worth it.
