soreballz · 01-31-2009, 02:24 AM

Nice rice. I can't figure out what the difference is, but it looks different from the last time I saw that car in person.

I don't mind the car, only b/c my old roomie had one of those. Civic Si with cleaner mods than that Yellow One. His is White and the Aero Kit my roomie chose has softer lines and rounder bumper.

I do see the Pekachu in this car though...I call my roomie's Civic a Marshmallow Rocket ship (turbo'd K24). Why is it that this model Si and the FiT look like abstract animals??!! I see puffer fish, japanese anime...etc.

The Chad · 01-31-2009, 08:39 AM

Oh and my roomate also told me that carbon hoods on that car were pointless due to the stock on being made of aluminum...meaning zero weight saving. (according to him)

DreamN · 01-31-2009, 12:26 PM

i've seen this car in person and it gives the illusion that it sits low because of the overfenders. thing rides at nearly oem height from what i remember. i don't like the lights, the kit, or the overfenders, and the wheel fitment just doesn't make sense on a fwd car. it's rice, but at least it's not overdone to the point where it's offensive.

i prefer clean subtle looks.

J240sxxx · 01-31-2009, 12:59 PM

some one was trying to hard.. some of it is too much..

lol, the last time I saw it, he had to leave the parking lot BACKWARDS and sideways to avoid tearing the bumper off. It was low low.

In fact, much lower than it is in the OP's pic.

DeadlyZ33 · 02-01-2009, 03:35 PM

I voted rice mostly because of the skunk2 sticker on the windshield.

superbike81 · 02-02-2009, 03:04 PM

The wheels are nice, but they don't belong on a Civic, neither do huge overfenders.

RICE......because isn't the definition of "rice" doing something completely un-functional to your car?

pete_07 · 02-02-2009, 03:54 PM

just dont like the head lights

Teddy · 02-02-2009, 04:05 PM

I think it's dope.

ItsToo · 02-02-2009, 09:09 PM

I just feel like its too much. Front end looks pretty aggressive, which is not bad by all means, but it just doesn't feel right. i dont like the flares on it neither. The yellow does stand out though. It prolly looks better in person though

***Future240*** · 02-02-2009, 09:24 PM

It's a bit on the eccentric side but not rice

EDacIouSX · 02-02-2009, 10:29 PM

shits fkign rice look at the bottom of the front bumper

ROUGE180 · 02-03-2009, 02:48 PM

Not rice. Could be a little more reserved (imo) but all in all it's clean. It's no where in the protruder-vadotron-xwing kit catagory that would make it rice.

J40sx · 02-03-2009, 06:11 PM

seen this car in person
at an autobacs meet/event in Stanton California

its not rice
you can loose the over fenders
yellow is not my choice of color, but i guess it works on Honda's
the headlights gotta go

aNskY · 02-04-2009, 04:25 PM

depends

lets see under the hood

if it's still on the 118hp or whatever those things have

its definately rice

inactive_240sx · 02-04-2009, 08:03 PM

its sticky rice! [^_^]

scoobyjoe · 02-04-2009, 08:51 PM

it's not rice just a pretty well put honda who's not rockin cheap shit. I mean the wheels a pimp not rotas like all the other hondas. It's nice not rice.

wgJoY · 02-04-2009, 10:16 PM

wayyy too aggresive for my style. but then again thats just my personal preference. I think its kinda over done.. but that wouldnt make it rice would it?

this isnt rice. There's too much money into that car to make it rice lol

edit: i dont think its nice rice either. I think its just someone who's maybe seen Fast and the Furious just a little too many times.

RedStage · 02-05-2009, 04:00 AM

there are far worse cars out there.
I like it, which is a huge compliment because I hate Hondas.....

jspeedm · 02-05-2009, 02:12 PM

I say it's ok. You don't have to like the car to appreciate the quality of parts and work that went into it.

PoorMans180SX · 02-05-2009, 09:46 PM

I bet it has horrible torque steer.

But it's decent.

andisan · 02-06-2009, 01:06 AM

The only thing I see riced is the headlights go with the jdm spec ones and youll be back in buisness, and maybe change the color.
Its clean and finished

CAP'NZenki · 02-06-2009, 11:45 AM

i want to see a backshot...i feel like itd look like a car with training wheels haha but that white crx in the background is hot

Mister.E · 02-06-2009, 03:59 PM

im not a huge fan of it, but it would look a hell of a lot better if it wasnt yellow. i really hate yellow as a car color....hell i hate yellow as a color in general

waynehead05 · 02-06-2009, 04:49 PM

It's not rice... but I'd want to lick it if I saw it. It's freakin screaming that thing is so loud in taste. Anyone else know what I'm saying?

i know the owner of that car, really nice guy and those headlights are JDM spec, they are the Civic Type R headlights
and for those that commented on him tracking the car, as soon as his roll cage is finish being fabricated into the car he will be tracking
it was boosting at one point then he did a motor swap and it's his daily driven car
nice car all around and yeah, he should of stuck with the candy red he had before
