Ok...the whole contortioning of the word rice is pissing me off.  It's killing creativity.  Rice is displaying emblems and stickers of stuff you don't have...can also carry over to a large tip on tiny stock exhaust piping (implying an exhaust system you don't have) or maybe chrome hub caps (implying expensive rims you don't have).  It is nothing more and nothing less.  BTW, the GTR emblem is rice.  Any other custom modifications have only to do with taste.  Rice has a definititon...but tastes differ.  What one person thinks looks cool, another might think looks hideous...doesn't make it ricey, it's a difference in taste.  Some people aren't as interested in going fast as they are in customizing interiors or putting together monster sound systems or custom fabricating elaborate exteriors.  Those types of modifations might not be in a racer's taste, but it's not rice!  If everybody followed some of y'all's "definition" of rice, car shows would be boring as ####.
STOP KILLING CREATIVITY!!!

Of course, non-rice things such as 3ft. wings on Echoes, 'custom' wooden body kits, and such are considered tasteless by the majority and should be avoided.:)

And BlueSix, nice car (except for that mis-badging).  Being a speed freak, I spend my money and time making my car faster so I wouldn't do that to my car personally....but I commend you on your invested time and money into a car you clearly have a passion for.
