Not I, never will either if I have anything to do with it - Chevy all the way, 8 cylinders! Tho I am driving a ford 6 cylinder right now but hey I'm a poor college kid driving my dad's old car, can't complain for a free set of wheels...

Sure there is. There's just enough room on the back to mount a wing, get some clear tail-lights, cut the springs, tint the windows, and put on a goofy exhaust tip. And maybe a cosmetic-only hood scoop.

4 cylinders? In the left bank.
Wing? Does the tailgate count?
Exhaust tip? stock metal discolored from heat and 77000 miles.
Flat black hood? Silver w/ a chrome grille probably isn't close enough.
Clear tail lights? Only the backup lights.
Stickers? Just registration (ont he license plate) and a sticker from a board of which I'm an active member of. (back window)
etc? I take it 285/60R16's don't count as low profile nor large rims?

I'd imagine some would consider my STi as rice since it's loud (just a WRX wing though), but I don't really care. I have the bite to back up the bark :evil:

As a general rule, if it has more than 200 bhp, can do 0-60 in 7 seconds or less, and can do a 15 second 1/4 mile or better, then it's not rice, regardless of exterior appearance.

if that's your rule, basically every 4-banger on the street is considered "rice".

No chance. I drive big and comfortable cruisers. My fav being my 02 towncar. I was going to get a new DTS this year but it's too small..

honestly your car isn't rice at all. the only thing i see different are the aftermarket wheels, which look very nice.

People think mine is rice due to 19' rims and the exhaust, but both are stock (well, sports package).
