what does RICE mean? [continued]

I thought that nobody beats that white Fagtuner I saw at UN Avenue many many nights ago when it comes to stupid chrome accessories.

But somebody did. Just today, Quezon Avenue/Morayta area, around 1pm. Didn't get a pic since you just know those stupid PUV drivers in that area are numbskulls and you have to be extra careful and didn't get a chance to stop at a nice viewpoint to get a pic.

Yep, another Fagtuner. Black, but this time, not just all possible accessories the owner has put in the back, but confirmed that the same treatment has been done on the front. (Hood deflector lang ang tanging non-chrome.)

But the killer? the effing decals. I went WTF since the owner had put any possible chrome decal/sticker on the back and all over the vehicle. Fitt sticker? Yep. 4WD? Of course. Dozens of others. I won't be surprised if there's TRD there, too. As in every possible space on the back, it has a chrome sticker on it if it ain't covered by a chrome accessory. Even the front wheel fenders have a chrome stickers each.

And there's your typical yellow Phil. map sticker on the rear windscreen. Typical.

My eyes were bleeding at that time. I feel like I want to claw them out.

Personally, I'm not fond with idea of putting Rays, Nismo, etc. stickers on copy wheels, it just make them look more "pirated" ala fake L.Vuitton bags for the ladies. Just my humble 2 cents.

bakit kasi word na "COPY" yung ginamit na term, ibahin natin yung term, sabihin natin na "VERSION" yan...

: like Konig Rated R pati Nippon Racing, kanya-kanya style heheheh....

He he. Kasi they are really copied from the more expensive branded ones, even mimicking the Rays or Nismo logo. So the intention really was to copy.

Correct! Bayaan mo na tutal nakadikit na, it will eventually fall of anyways. Yung iba kasi sila pa mismo naglalagay. Before I remember a certain wheel seller is selling his Rays Nismo LM GT kuno for Silvia, Z, G35, or GT-R's wide offset he is claiming it's original and the reason why it's cheap is because it is a production overrun daw!!

Of course not sir, Rays will always be lighter while still durable at the same time since they use different technology on producing these wheels. And it's not 100% look alike also, you will not see a RAYS Japan embossed on the inner lip, and the center cap is not the same as the legit ones.

Actually, I had a chat w/ Philip the M.M guy of rota, he too admitted that they cannot produce a 100% replica of other wheel brands or they'll be sued for copyright infringement w/c will cost them perhaps millions if found guilty.
