Oh, I really don't mind because I'm the type of person who speaks my mind and it doesn't really bother me when other people do the same.

But then I wouldn't have random strangers flagging me down telling how they've seen my car on LS1Tech.com (yes we seem to have alot of lurkers here) or telling me how that's one of the most badass set ups they've seen in awhile. And yes, I actually think that the CME is cleaner and more suble than ground effects.

true.........if i wanted to be "original" than torq thrust wheels, non'lowered is the way for me.

really, a different set up doesnt really mean rice just because the import seen is dominated by body kits and visual enhancements. It that were the case would you call a stock civic SI with 28lbs. of el o boost with a stock body kit non'rice?

all im saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion however, when i get trashed some of the other "members" of the local f-body group or by anybody really about how my modifications reminds them of how rice it looks well it just makes me think of how "original" your ride looks.......just like everyone else who is "anti-rice" who descriminates against anything that they "feel" is not american modern muscle. wat about the stang for that matter. Saleen for example has a really nice kit for their 381r'z, would you consider that rice?

basically, if that is our point of view than keep it....you shouldnt bash another because you dont like there style.no mater is exemplifies in your eyes.

BoneSS....badass man!!! that is wat im planning but with maybe the rksports or ww kit.

GM muscle...i with ya dude........your car looks sweet and will take most others rides to la escuela!!! (school)

The CME looks good on only black cars. I have seen the CME on other color F bodies and it doesnt look as good. Go with the gfx and be different. You will get alot more compliments on the gfx than the CME.

I think CME looks like crap. But thats just me. Exhaust belongs toward the outsides not the middle. It makes it look like butthole. Just like the Boxters.

Maybe you would like this one?

CME. Some of these kits don't flow with the design of the car.

I am not a fan of the CME, I just dont like the look personally. I have one guy in my Club that has a SOM SS with the wings west and it looks so nice IMO. I am lookin at the RKsports myself. O and they have a rear lip for the CME to go along with the rest of the GFX.
