Wow, I read all four pages. I use the "rice" word on occassion and I will give you my opinion of rice: GIANT shopping cart rear wings on a front wheel drive car, lowering the suspension by cutting springs and creating a bumpy choppy useless ride, wherein the car throws sparks driving over a penny on the street, strange colored headlamps that do nothing to improve sight and clear ugly tail lamps that show no red when off, stickers and decals that have nothing to do with your mods and are pasted where they obstruct your vision, and super bass stereos that do nothing except remove kidney stones with ultra sound and can be heard across the country. (isn't this funny?)
And regarding the three photos in this post. I like most of what I saw. Considering my 91 318is has Zender aerodynamics, Dinan suspension, Racing Dynamics front and rear stress bars, an upgraded sound system, a Conforti chip, performance gauge package, tinted windows and more, is it rice?
