    that's the cefiro converted into a 5 series.

    to add to the whole "rice" thing, i think that it is actually a derogatory/racist term started by white motorheads against the emerging import tuners back in the day. so it's a bit ironic that we use that against each other's rides if we find them tacky. eh pare-pareho lang naman tayong pinoy na naka-asian (japanese/korean or whatever) cars, so we shouldn't be too worried about the whole rice thing. its all a matter of taste and preference. some just have better taste than others. some are just naturally tacky. in other words, baduy.

    I don't find it baduy simply because a Cefiro was converted to look like a BMW. If it was done right, you would find me admiring the work done. This is nothing different from people converting VW beetles into Porsche roadsters and 911 lookalikes. Even I would like owning one of those Roadsters.

    Then there are bad examples like the mentioned Accord converted to look somewhat like a Merc sportscar. Unfortunately it was a very poor job. Waste of a Honda Accord.

    Talagang hindi maiiwasan na may baduy. Mininformed kasi yung iba. Hawa-hawa na ba. KAya nga may ganitong thread para alam mo kung ano pa rin gugustuhin mo. Ako may ralliart sticker kahit na hindi ako nagkakaroon ng ralliart piece of tech sa car ko (except the engine oil ocver and rad cap). Pero since it is for mitsu, hindi na masyadong "rice" na magiging baduy so ok lang sa akin kahit kantayiwan ako.
