Am I a Ricer? Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So everyone on here knows (or now does) that my car has most of the GT4 LOOK. however it seems that 1 out of every 10 people calls me a ricer cuz ive made my car look like a gt4. But when modding my car it was never "oh im going to fool people and let them think i own a gt4" it was more of " everything besides the gt4 kit is so aggressive and not really my style so im going to keep it clean" but its just frustrating to be called a ricer. I hate when people say its badged a gt4 when its just on the spoiler posts and its engraved in and I know doggy made some replicas but i wanted the real ones. So thats the only part that I guess I could have done some work to and shaved it or something..idk.

Anyways so am I a Ricer because my car is kitted with the GT4 look?

i think anyone who tries to make their import look like something it isnt = rice.

to me, if people spend thousands of dollars making a slow car look fast, they're wasting their money.

if you own a car that hasn't ever seen a track, the following makes your car look riced out :

white vinyl "sponsor" decals
racing seats
giant wings
gauges with no boost
extremely low suspension

if you're buying JDM parts and putting them on your car, more power to you. people who purchase OEM parts that are different than USDM just want 'the real deal' that they get over in japan.

the US market really rapes cars before they release them to the general public, i still have no idea why.

a gt-four conversion is fine, that's how the car was originally intended to be.
