    The only thing that I did for only looks...was the front bumper. but I had one from an '85, or the stock one (looks like it's got a fat lip), so I used the one from the '85. ditto on the grill....

    My exhaust sounds pretty ricey. but that's just because I need to have a full custom system made, and I'm still in the design, and parts acquisition phases of that....

    and I guess the springs. they're far stiffer than I should be using, but, they were the right price...and kick the crap out of the stock ones.

    That's nothin. When I had my 90 Buick Skylark, I was given some free red 'Red Bull Energy Drink' decals. They were about 6" in length and I would make it spell "Bull Energy" and stick it to each of my fenders. Soon after, I got in an accident when someone pull in front of me and tore up the front bumper. She had no insurance and I had only liability insurance. So, I got two colored bungee cords and hooked it up from the top of my hood and to the bottom of my dangling bumper to hold it in place. I then drove like that for a month until the thing died on me a few months later... with the "bull energy" decal still on the front fenders. LOL! I was cool like that back in the day, I guess!

    You win (or lose?!?).

    Weapon X and Tenzo R are possibly two the the worst aftermarket companies on the face of the planet. Did you have any APC items, also?

    decreasing my gas mileage? more weight over the rear wheels? haha. seriously though, da azns gotta eat!

    back on topic. i had some eibach springs put on my 93 geo prism and put the decal on my rear view. not the actual mirror part, the back side that faces the windshied. the other decal went on my center console.

    I dunno...I haven't had anything really. My bulbs I bought fron Best Buy was a blue tint, but I bought them because they where HIGH WATT bulbs, and I was hoping for brighter light, which it was. So that isn't rice.
    um....I have Geinuine STi Version 5 Wagon wings, they are OEM so they're not rice. Helps clean the back window a bit with the upper wing. so that's nice rice....
    MNSubaru sticker represents our club HERE, so that's not rice at all.
    Painted my inner head black, but that's like buying wheels to make your ride look sharper.
    I have Perrin atmospheric BOV, I couldn't fit the stock recirculating on and I needed one that was good quality and cheaper priced. I would have added some $40 for the Perrin recirculating one, but 7psi is little, I won't be running as rice as the 500cc+ guys.
    I have JDM Wagon taillights, they are OEM, so they're not rice....hahah they're JDM!

    I dunno...what would you call rice from my list?

    My jeep ZJ I had painted krylon semi flat black on the side guards...but not really rice. Just did it so that when they got scratched up on trails you could do a quick spray and it would look a-okay.

    My rs came with some 3'' exhaust, a worn down carbon fiber lookalike shift knob, and a bunch of stickers.

    Got rid of all of that stuff, so I guess its back to not being rice again. Does my coupe spoiler and hoodscoop count? Oh, and dont forget the carbon fiber hood vents that I'm too lazy to replace.

    On my Fiero I put in composite headlights in the flipups and I had a strobe light kit lying around. SO, I drilled holes in them and put strobes in the headlights. The 100 watt streetglow bulbs were nice, too. They were bright as hell, and didn't blind oncoming traffic, so not REALLY rice, but functional rice. Oh, and the spoiler on that thing was huge, but it was factory. I did have a CAI on it, but that was wayyyy too loud and didn't filter for crap, so I took it off.

    Oh, and the rex is too new to be riced at all. ha.

    Let's see. Nothing on my WRX (except some red silicone hose under the hood), but my Sentra...

    2.5" cat-back with magnaflow 2.5" that's about 1-2dB less noisy than an open header... Oh, it's got some god-awful huge ricy tip on it too.
    The bumper/airdam is red, the rest black...
    Rally light bar across the front with 4 large offroad lights...
    The PO replaced the Nissan logo on the front with a B15 SE-R logo (this is a B13), and I haven't bothered to replace it...

    My pretty blue AEM Short Ram, and AEM license-plate surround.
    My pretty blue body-painted dash pieces.
    My pretty blue-stripe seat covers.
    My pretty blue supplemental grounding wires.
    My pretty blue anodized lugnuts.

    The wing is aftermarket so some would call it "rice", but it's custom-fitted for a GC/GM, so I call it "tasteful customization". (and I really notice the extra downforce... ...okay, fine, it's rice)

    I personally think "debadging" is a rice thing to do, so I had some vinyl "2.5RS" and "AWD" labels custom-cut, based on high-res captures of the factory-original stickers and placed in stock locations.
    ...but I suppose the 3 extra AWD stickers I put on it could be called "rice". ;)

    Oh yeah, and I almost forgot: GIANT FRIGGIN VINYLS DOWN THE SIDES. =D
