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.
