I have a small bike that i rebuilt and repainted. Its got a flat black frame, gold 6 spoke wheels, and a gold VW symbol on the front. Am I a ricer?
On a more serious note. You're front end (with the STi stickers) IS rice if you don't have any STi performance parts under the hood. If you do have STi parts, you're allowed to have the stickers, otherwise its false advertisement.

What did you expect? Since the STi wasn't available in the USA until MY04, many many people were getting STi stuff for the MY02 and 03. Why would it be ok to put STi stuff on MY02 and 03 but not the MY04 and 05?

But the fog covers are an STi part. So, if I have a STi intercooler, hood scoop, suspension, and strut bar it's ok if I have fog covers that say STi?

I dont think its rice. the STi and wrx are very alike body wise except for small details like the fog covers and by choosing to put them on I think it looks better.
If you would have modded the bumper to make the covers fit (cutting and bondo), that would have been rice. But they are basically the same car except for the obvious.
I have an STi wing on my wrx. Some peeps like it, some dont but it can't be rice cause its OEM equipment. thats the way I see it.

As long as there are NO decals/emblems to indicate otherwise....then it's ok. :)
This is almost like putting an AMG kit and wheels on a Benz, or an M3 bumper on a 3-series.
Everything is fine and dandy until the "M" or "55" badge gets misplaced. :p

I think it's funny how, when you look at it the poll has three catagories against the mod and one for it. Spreading out those against it and making it look like the mod is more socially acceptable. Though everyone against it is still out voted by 52 to 78, I guess there's just no accounting for taste. The slip angle article "Good intentions, Bad ideas" in this month's SCC is along the lines of what I think of this.

I don't think #4 is against the mod. I would count those votes for the mod. I see cars all the time that have mods I would not do (not my taste) to my car but are popular on this forum. There is another poll here about making a WRX look like an STi and the choice that won by a large margin was "IT's ok and it looks hot". But that doen't mean everyone that voted for that option would do it to their own car.

STI and TypeR are different and not comparable.
STI, as mentioned above, does not only apply to the STI-tuned car, but to a line of accessories made for various cars. Think about the STI rear strut tower bar for a wagon. Ok, blah, blah, blah, I know they have an STi wagon overseas, blah, blah, blah... But the item is available through dealers state-side.
TypeR is a version of a car model (or models). TypeR, as far as I know, is not a factory accessory line like STI or TRD.

Not rice, because it isn't a flashy/ugly/cosmically stupid/poser/asshat modification.
Poser because of the STI labels. Take them off, and you aren't a poser. It is like sticking a Cobra badge on a Mustang GT.
But that's just my impression. Do whatever you want, it isn't like you are sticking a 3' wing on a 115 HP Honda. :lol:

[QUOTE=kaisersouse]Rice = the addition of aftermarket parts to a vehicle (typically slow stock honda, hyundai etc) to make it LOOK fast...without touching any of the engine internals. [B][U][COLOR=Red]These include things like rear downforce on a FWD vehicle[/COLOR][/U][/B], flame decals, 6" muffler tips screwed onto the stock 1.5" pipe, BOV-sound kits on NA engines, Pretend/empty NOS bottles, neon all over (including the inside), gauges for things you dont have (boost gauge on boostless cars), grond effects kits that allow .5" of clearance, $20 fartcan mufflers....you get the idea.
It started with honda-esque people...but has moved to vehicles like the cavalier, focus etc (like the focus hunchback that leapt in front of me and blew thru an intersection (light was red for a while)...giant wing and light-up license plate bolts abound).[/QUOTE]
wow...
so i guess that means you'd want rear LIFT on a FWD vehicle? kind of like the Subaru commercial where the FWD vehicles are driving with the rear up in the air and vice versa with the RWD vehicles....and the only one completely planted on the ground is the Subaru :lol:
no but seriously...how is rear downforce on a FWD vehicle ricer? i know im a little off topic here by picking on this guy...but i couldn't help myself
downforce is t3h good...it keeps you planted...counteracts lift...really doesn't matter if you're FWD, RWD, or AWD
so I guess all of those Mazdas, Nissans, and Hondas racing in SCCA are half ricer with their rear and frontal downforce

A good example of this would be a TypeR badge on a civic sedan.

Ummm, I disagree with you on this. STi is not a car, it's a subsidiary(sp.) of the Subaru family. It's an in house tuning company, the STi you're talking about is a Subaru WRX STi edition. All of them are just the STi trim level. If you look up the STi on the Subaru webpage, it falls under the Impreza heading, where you'll also find the WRX, and even the 2.5RS I think. Why do people try to act like putting a few STi accessories on a car that didn't come with them is a crime? It's all about personal expressino. If you chose to debadge, lower, put Chrome wheels (not really my tastes though) on it or whatever is up to each person individually. I'm not trying to point the finfer here, but to each hir (or her) own. Life is what we make of it, why don't we make it better? I'm going to buy a new "Impreza WRX STi" very soon I hope. If for some reason I end up not being anle to afford it, and buy a Standard "Impreza WRX" instead, I'll end up getting a few accessories from "[img]http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/e/imgs/common-header-002.gif[/img]", and I think thats fine, because they are there afterall to provide us with stuff for our Subaru vehicles, not just the ones that come stock with their equipment.

I completely agree with BWagner...I think of putting STI stuff on your car is the same as putting a "Subaru" logo on your car. Just because I have STI foglight covers doesn't mean I think my car is an STI or can burn a WRX. I have an RS for cryin out loud. #1 I just like the way they look( pink colors & all). #2 I like to promote subaru in any way I can. I'm proud of my suby and its rally, performance heritage. STI is a tuning sect of Subaru. To me, one in the same. I think the decals are unique. I vote not rice and to each their own. My picture of rice is completely different from everyone else's. To me rice is when you have a $500 car and $3000 rims and a $5000 stereo, and non painted spoilers abound...
| Jesse00 | 10-07-2005 12:55 AM |
For me rice means show and no go. Like neon lights, chrome wheels, spinners, big decals, and gigantic wing that looks like a coat hanger. Just because your WRX has a few sti stuff, it doesnt make it rice - nor does it make it a sti. IMO, i feel sorry for the car when the driver thinks its something different. For example, I see tons of acura integras driving around with honda badge and type r badges everywhere in the car. For god's sake, its an integra, not the type r... THats what i call rice...

I think what he may have been getting at (or not.. who knows) is that putting a giant wing on the back of a FWD car and no frontal aerodynamic aids to balance it out a bit.. is stupid. Placing a wing behind the rear axle with no front downforce adders actually creates more lift on the front.. increasing stability (ie: understeer).

I wouldn't go so far as to call it "rice" or "poser" but I can't in good conscience give it a thumbs up until you ditch the STi stickers or do a swap.
just my $0.02 :alien:

[QUOTE=Matth3w]while id like this to not turn into a discussion on the definition of rice, this is what i define rice as or part of it:
1) unpainted body kits
2) fart can mufflers no real performance
3) LED anything (wiper squirters, tireflys, etc)
4) partial body kits, painted or not...for example, front lip rear lip stock skirts...exceptions apply, but im talking about something of a major body changing kit but with stock sides
5) cut springs
6) anything bought from autozone that is supposed to enhance the look of your car (ie - typeR anything, NOS anything, NOS floor mats, etc)
7) stupid decals...like, flames, tribals, big skulls, etc.
8) decals for **** you dont have...ex - NOS decal, no nitrous
9) fake FMIC intakes or things like it (ebay exhaust additions that make BOV noises)
and the list goes on but thats my partial take.[/QUOTE]
I dont generally like using the term "rice" to me its a stable food source not a way to describe a ****ty car. But your definition is awesome! :lol: :lol:
and the list goes on but thats my partial take.
