msilvia is an unknown quantity at this point
Litmus test for rice:  Are the emblems which you are flaunting going on the car (at the proper trim level) to which they belong?  No?  Then they're rice.

Question two: &nbsp;Did you then take those ricey emblems for a car you don't drive and then enshrine them in a lit case? &nbsp;Hooooly shit rice. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

IMO GT-R emblems, silvia emblems, Type R emblems, whatever, belong on the cars they were made for. &nbsp;I don't care if you even have a GT-R engine in your 240, unless it's a Gt-R, it doesn't need the badge. &nbsp;

The neon is ricey too, I think, in the sense of ricey being &quot;tasteless&quot;. &nbsp;Here's another litmus test, although this one admitedly restricts creativity: &nbsp;Could you picture that kind of modification on a more upscale car? &nbsp;You never see Ferraris with neon strips. &nbsp;It does look a lot more subdued in the video, but I still think it's too much. &nbsp;Neon doesn't belong on a car. &nbsp;Too ghetto.

I like the guages, I think. &nbsp;The idea of blue needles is cool, but it's hard to tell how bright they actually are. &nbsp;In the pictures they seem to be lighting up the whole guage cluster in a bluish hue, which is too much for me. &nbsp;But in the video they don't seem to be shedding light on anything else, just glowing blue, which is cool. &nbsp;Which do they actually do in person? &nbsp;Seems pretty cool.

I don't get why you'd want to make the panel for the gauge cluster white, but that's just personal preference.

Well, you asked, so that's what I think. &nbsp;

In the end, though, to each his own.
