It all depends. If it's a DX with chrome hubcaps that will never see a track in its life, it's rice. If the guy is in a car with decent power/speed doing track days and wants to keep his car from floating at high speed, then it's not rice at all. It all depends.

Rice is throwing on a 5in tipped muffler on with stock piping that sounds like im at work using a weedwhacker, a huge apc spoiler and dropping ur car to the ground while rolling on 14in hubs.

Where is the wind tunnel testing that shows the effect of the vortex generator on the airfoil with and without the wing? The white paper didn't address the effect of the vg w/o wing.

Sorry to tell you boys, but rebadging a car has been around longer than most of you! It is a fairly common thing to do with older american muscle cars. Buy a cheap old base '69 camaro w/ a v-6, plop a 350 in it, then add the spoilers and Z-28 badging. Or get a cheap old base model Mustang with good sheetmetal, replace the engine and paint it up to look like a Shelby GT500. Figuring, a base 'stang in real good condition would be ~$5000, and an authentic GT500 would go for $60000-$90000. Seems like a good idea for most folks that want a GT500 but can't afford a real one.

Now, if you are simply adding the MR badging and a wing to your FWD Lancer, and not doing any engine or suspension work, then you could be considered a ricer, and a fool. You are going to be at a stoplight someday, and a Mustang GT is going to pull up next to you and want to race. Of course he will waste you, and then he will go around bragging to his buddies that he smoked an MR. So you see, not only will you be driving around in a fake car, but you will be giving all of us real EVO owners a bad reputation.

MR tails are nice. It's the CHROME FACTORY ALTEEZA tails that are rice. All the evo guys hollar rice but yet they roll around with the international sign for rice. ALTEEZA style tail lights. Hypocritical!

if u put those tail lights to give people the impression that u own an mr is definitely rice. if u put those taillights on the mr because u wanted to be like the "original" then i dont think that is rice. . and if u put the Skyline GTR on a mustang then ur just c*** in the head.
