what does RICE mean? [continued]

[GodziRRa!]

How can you tell it's CF stickers? I can't tell from the picture. Were you the one who took the picture or are you just guessing?

It simply could be plain black vinyl sticker or even semi-gloss paint where the owner wanted a reverse semi-panda effect on his Jazz.

I find the overall effect to be rather nice, even if the black fenders might have been done with stickers...

I just don't like the windshield sticker... but it's a show car in a car show so I won't fault it.

Spot on! For all we know those could just be fiber glass fenders. Unless of course if it were examined closely if it were just stick on cf. And that car ain't that bad looking.

This has gone on a bit too long.

A non-sportscar has just as much "right" to have a body kit as a sports car as long as it is done in good taste.

It may or may not appeal to YOUR personal sense of taste but there is NOTHING wrong doing that.

Even a lowly Kia Pride can be fitted with a front chin and side skirts if the owner wanted it and if it looked good, then great for him. I wouldn't really call it "rice" as long as it is tastefully done.

Rice "gurus" ... there are RICEY cars and other times you are just plain overly sensitive over non-issues, which is may or may not result in the supposed "guru" taken as plain stupid or similar.

Word of advise... "moderation".

Well it seems the word "RICE" has been used soo much, that it's already out of it's meaning. Again, like I've said there is a difference between a rice car, and a car that looks ugly in one's point of view. And things like it's rice to put chin or any other aero kit if your car is not a sportscar is simply soo false.

regarding the yellow jazz,, i think the photo has effects from adobe photoshop, kaya it looks like a CF sticker sir. Anyways on godzirra's aero kit suggestion, meron naman kasi aero kit na plain simple, like the type r chin, ducktail, rear chin, side skirt of honda eK's, simple lang, parang nilagyan lang nang konti curves yung car, since hindi naman malalaki unlike TRD and Tom's wrap around.. IMO

[SIZE=2]That was what I am saying, actually.

Kung sa ibang cars like Civics, it would be perfectly fine. But for a vios, IMO, it's cleaner without kits. Kasi nga, gaya ng sabi mo, those TRD and TOM's bodykits eh matataba. Bloated, ba. Unlike those kits of HONDAs, e, sharp curves, thinner appearance and mas simple. Yung kits kasi for the Vios, eh, masyadong overdone IMO. And I'm talking about those pre-designed kits like toms, trd and what not.

If you'd think that I'm a Toyota hater, no, I am not. In fact, I find those kits for the Altis good-looking. It varies kasi from the POV of the person giving an opinion e. & as a friend of kevin, nag-susuggest din ako sakanya kung ano ang maganda for me.

diko nga din ma gets ang TRD and Toms bakit sa vios ganyan yung ginawa nila. Pero yung vios ni bro kev clean looking naman, and i think pede lagyan nang other kits na di masyado bloated, i've seen a vios na di trd or toms ang kits pero ang ganda tignan, parang type r ek siya na kits, i think those were fabricated, iba talent nang pinoy. lol. It looks good though..

Sabi nga sa Civic 2012: To each their own. ehe

[slvrsrfr2301]

Peeling CF sticker with clearcoat sprayed over it, but still decent looking IMO.

yan nakita ko yan, nakita nyo sir yung rav4? naka brembo calipers? parang nakapatong? fake ba yun sir? o ganun yun? ganda nung acura at fd

[slvrsrfr2301]

ano toh?

afaik nissan cefiro yan......

[Starex_Gold]

[SIZE=2]Yun lang. I would just like to say my piece. And I'm no rice/mod guru. Di ko naman pinangalanan sa sarili ko yan, some people just think I am one, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm way too far in being one pa.[/SIZE]

So am I.

Some aerokits look good on some cars. Even the OEM chin of the Isuzu Trooper blends well. Kasi IMHO hindi bagay yung aero kits sa econoboxes (Vios, MZ2, City, Fiesta sedan, Accent). Kahit pa ang gumawa na yung Mugen, Toms, TRD, Mobis o kahit custom design pa ni Atoy.

May kotseng binabagayan ang body kits. Yun lang. Bow ;)

maybe you and others can take advice from your own signature and replace "me" with "it"

If you don’t like me, don’t judge me. Nobody said you had to like me.

as i said before gusto ko maging show car si vios gusto ko kasi malabas ung creativity ko or kahit ano kahit ba sa "VIOS LANG" para maiba naman parang cool kasi pag malinis tignan e

here with trd kits


eto ride ko before from a simple multicab inayos ko
drop,13" sound set up and many more
and ricer pa ko dati

[GodziRRa!]

Correct. Since these TRD kits are a bit radical looking compared to the more discreet ones, even if it's an expensive legit, does it automatically make it "RICE"?

That's the thing e, like I said there is a difference between an ugly looking car and a rice car. The trd kit may not be the better looking ones... but it still isn't wild enough, or grotesque enough to be a ricer IMO. I think there are early version of vios kits that is more conservative.

*sir godzirra,,

Your car is a GT-R right?

You have PM.

Good thing the gurus or critics agree now that putting on aero kits on a non-sportscar is not rice. IMO econoboxes like jazz, yaris, even vios are just fine w/ kits on just don't over do it.

[GodziRRa!]

Go ahead! Even if your not going to have it as a show car, and even if you said it's "vios lang" as long as you like the kit why not? It's not one of those wild kits anyways. I think this is the more conservative kit of the vios I'm talking about. I think that kit will look better on your ride since you have the more dynamic "te37" wheel.

Mas gusto ko yan Vios gen 1 at 1.5 na may kits kesa gen 2 na may kits

Halimaw ang dating ng TRD kits sa gen 2 haha

[vh3r]

eto ang naaayon dito :D

Yes expensive per se. But cheap compared to the original ones w/c will cost roughly around 150K size 15s wheels set only. But like I said I'm not fond of putting stickers on copy wheels just to imitate the original ones, it makes them even look more pirated. Some owners even put them on just to pose. But some wheel shops here usually have custom made stickers like Rays, Nismo, etc. and put them in their wheels for sale. Ha ha.

The colored calipers oks lang yun, wag lang brake drums e colored pa. As for the tilt plate, not a fan of it. Like I said it's for turbo cars w/ front mount intercoolers. Tilt plate brackets are oem on some JDM sportscars in Japan e.g. GT-Rs.

This taxi is just "cute" IMO. hehe.

Ang mahal pala ng Orig na TE37.

Hanggang copy lang pala ako. simulan ko na magipon

[mikomac]

is it rice to put arrow and tow hitch?

Ganda ng Vios mo!

Ok lang naman, kung may purpose talaga. pero kung pang design lang, huwag nalang.

[mikomac]

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.

Don't forget the Honda Hatchback coverted to an Audi R8

Vios kasi, is really NOT designed to have a racing looks eh. Hey! its an COMMUTER CAR. so why put some big body kits and humongous wings like transformers and why not for a simpler vios? parang yung mga nakapost na euro vios na silver or parang kay Kev3000 which has Clean and Nice

tama naman si renzo eh. it better to have vios as a nice, cleaner if its stock. you can put some minor aesthetics as long as it will not be overdone

But, I cant blame anyone kasi as i've said, kanya kanyang taste ng mga tao yan.

[balotski]

...sumang ayon ka nalang sa kanila kasi madami sila dito :D

...kapag may aesthetics ang kotse ng kakilala nila ok lang kasi kakilala nila ngayon kung di ka nila kakilala sorry ka dahil pagtatawanan nila kotse mo :D

bato bato sa langit tamaan wag magalit.

spot on vher. this is actually really evident if you back read. i wont pin point on them replies of these opinionated "gurus" anymore.

i just dont like that them "gurus" attack or gang up on someone who is a newbie or the same that dont agree with them opinion. it sometimes lead that member to just stop posting or just lurk or maybe leave permanently because of the attacks done. you will find that if an admin/mod disagrees with them "gurus", no further replies will be made and will no longer defend them original post to prove them point.

i find this thread amusing though due to the "creativity" of some. may i add informative, very informative. yes, the key to the aesthetic mods is not overdoing it.

cheers y'all!

[renzo_d10]

Kev, siguro kung gusto mo talaga ng chin, ganito nalang ...



Yan. Ok pa.

But that's the farthest I can recommend IMO.

Coz this



and this ...



and ESPECIALLY this



looks odd for me na. Pero kung gusto mo talaga yung TRD, nothing's stopping you naman.
