This list is great. My friend fits almost all of these. He has more stickers than parts, he refers to his huge *** wing and fog lights as a "show car". and he is always talking about the turbo kit he is "gonna get real soon". Too funny. Can't wait to show this to him.

Ok I am the person who 2C4S is refering too, and I do not see a problem with my car if I like it, I did do stickers and sound system b4 performance, but I am doing performance now, just so I know what weight I will be dealing with. Funny post though.

2. You have a 4-door 'type-R'.

Apparently this is a US list as Europeans/Japanese/Australian/etc get a Type R Accord.

Just how many stickers did you put on that you're figuring their weight into the performance equation?

Hey Mini_Street_Racer
That should be a Coke can, not only that you installed it the wrong way. To much back pressure.

Big sig graphics are even more annoying than ricers!

Searh vwvortex.com for an exceptionally comprehensive "you're a rice boy if ..." listing and comments. Saw it about two or three months ago. It even had a song criticizing their madness. IMO a few MINIs on this site are RICE!!! Luckily I haven't seen many though. The one thing I wonder about though it how some of these kids afford their mods. Hey I'm considered a kid, 18 years young. Anyways I think there is in some cases illelgal transactions - read into it - aka deals or they work in some dead in job and live at home, while still being 25, and spend all their money on their cars. Lastly, I think the current car for rice boys to graduate to is the E46 M3 :evil: :evil: Ever go to a rice show just for kicks? I really like the common snow plow fronts! I could elaborate for quite a while.

Check out the thread on vwvortex.com sometime, it will be well worth your time.

This mod is my favorite. You paint your stock hood black to give it that carbonfiber look.
