Default Am I a Ricer Now?
Before:


After:


The Difference:

(Sorry Camera Phone Pix)

My buddy owns www.HouseofHID.com ,and he gave me a smoking good deal to see what a LS1 Fbody would look like with 15000K bulb's... and I like, there also brighter than stock. Sometime I might get some 8K or 6K bulb's but I'm happy with them.

Sometime soon I'll get better picture's of the car out and about with them on it.

Check out the website the install was easy as hell, the only hard part was hiding everything and cleaning up all the wires so it didn't look like a hack job.

Overall I like it, Ill be getting My fog's from him soon

Are you a ricer for having HID's? No.. Are you a ricer for having 15,000K? Maybe..
Looks good man. Just remember that as you go up the kelvin scale, light output decreases. Meaning you'd have much more visibility with 4300K than you would with 15,000K.

Theres nothing wrong with HID's on a Camaro. Even the 5th gen with the RS package has HID's. Looks good

I have 8,000K for my fogs/lows and those are perfect. They don't look bad though!

Rice- No. Since it is hyper white (which looks bluish) but if it looked green or red or some other fruity color, then I would say it looks like a Trix mobile.
