..........if its going to cost you 190 bux PER light

that means around 400 bux total that could have been put into performance

however, if u just took that thing off a junkyard e7 (maybe off ebay or something) then and go ahead and do it

So if you pay for it, it's "rice", but if you don't pay very much for it, it's not "rice"? I don't understand.

Altezzas and clear tail lights are rice. Period. Evo 7 lights is a GOOD investment.

Good investment? I don't think so, it makes 0 sense to change perfectly fine taillights, you can call them "rice" or whatever you want, but it's pure vanity to spend 400 on taillights when 400 could get you a turbo timer + boost controller + G Tech.

Is it really important to determine is something on a car is a food. I mean come on your all arguing about a made up word. If you like it great if you don't don't do it to your car.

That would just mean that the Evo VII's lights are expensive. Those people that like them better and can afford them, great, those who can't, well, they can't.

no, hes saying that if your evo8 is stock, and you spend money on non-altezzas for it, its about as ricey as a civic owner who has stock tails, and spends money on getting altezzas for it. The rather high expense of doing the swap only exacerbates the "riceyness" of it.
