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?

why bother to add that stuff if people know it's slow as dirt?

Why is it so hard to understand that some people DON'T WANT A FAST CAR? I got a celica and bought exterior mods because I want a nice looking daily driver. I will never drop a dime on performance, because that's not what I bought this car for.

don't lie to yourself. you know you'd LOVE a fast car

'looking cool' should have a two fold approach; it should look decent, and actually add to the performance of a car.

a 4 ft wing is for downforce on some extreme drag car, not for a honda civic. this is what i'm getting at. people add this **** to their car thinking it will help, when it just makes them look like a giant asshole that wasted some money on ebay.

if you don't want a fast car, then don't pretend it's fast by putting ebayed crap on it.

You don't get what I'm saying, man

A lot of people buy certain cars, to have something nice, but they don't care if it's fast. I own a celica because it's a sleek looking car, and great for daily driving. I've spent $2k+ in mods, but none of them are performance. Why? Because I don't want this car to go fast, because I would be sacrificing reliability, gas mileage, etc. Now, being a speed freak, I will be getting an MR2 soon, and making it one mean machine.

So not everyone wants a car for performance, some just want reliability, fun, and good looks.

Whoa whoa whoa. You guys are getting off topic here. What you say is true. But the other guy is saying why put a huge ass wing on a front wheel drive designed car and all the weight needs to be on the front and not the back. I understand they want a huge ass wing but damn... thats overkill and pointless. That ain't nice. That's rice.


I rest my case!
