rice simply refers to when cars have been tooo dressed up cosmetically to try and stand out, such as neon lighting, excessive body kits, alteezas, wings, angled fart cans, decals, etc. Body kits, when done tastefully, as in the picture above can improve the look and stance of a car. We all respect fast cars; I guess it is aggravating when people spend all of that money for cosmetic **** with no motor improvements and they think their car is the **** and fast when in fact, they are not. Rice is those who are all show and no go.

I honestly like the oem Ground effects. For both camaros & birds. however WW isn't exactly what I like on the F-bodies. Just doesnt look flush to me. So I would say no go with the WW kit.

really though, sooner or later if everyone doesnt have the sae cam, intake, and exhaust its going to be rice.
On this site rice = not whats popular among this sight.
when it should = stupid things imports do to make their cars seem more like ours when they're slow as hell.
I'm sure theres a honda sight somewhere that everytime they see a damn cavalier with an SS hood they say "damn thats f-bodyish."

when i was looking for a new f-body, i went with a camaro instead of a TA due to the fact there were way more apperance options.

I love mine, but I feel the car needs to be lowered to look the right way w/ the factory groound effects. Car has Eibach Sportlines in pics, but now it has QA1's in front and stock springs w/ no isolators in back. Looks ok to me, but I had to do it.

I have a brand new WW TA kit sitting in my garage. Complete w/ wing, never installed, still in origional box. Was gonna put it on after I got my Incon kit, but i got fucked by them and and said screw the body kit till I have a motor to back it up. I'll entertain offers if you really gotta have it.
Personally I think if your gonna go the WW kit way, you need to spend the extra money and have it glassed to your car so it appears to be seamless. Theres a few pics floating around of a camalion color changing paint what ever the hell you call it TA w/ that done.... very sweet.
I'd probably call a car rice when it doesn't have a motor to backup its body/cockyness.

I used only the WW Front Ground effect on my WS6 - it brought the level of the front down to match the level of all the other factory ground effects on the car. I don't think it's 'rice' and apparently neither do a lot of other people based on the amount of 'Best of Show' and 'Best GM' trophies I have won with my car.
I didn't feel the car needed the side effects (as I agree they just look like stacked on items to factory effects) and I personally would never use their rear wing - but that's just my opinion. I never put down anything someone does to any car, I might not like it, but obviously they do, and in the end that's all that counts - cause it's your car.
If you want to see my car (well, at least what it looked like at the end of LAST season), just go to the Rock-On Transmission website - the Black WS6 on Dave's home page is my car...

it's not rice, it's just plain ugly.
i hated the factory gfx on my Camaro with a passion. these cars, NEITHER of them, simply don't need any more curves or lines than they already have.

Yeah, bodykits are RICE!!! ..... oh wait nevermind I have one LOL
Some people like them, some don't. I get both compliments on the ride, and people saying it's rice. It's an opinion, and you're going to hear it whether you agree or like it. I, obviously, like how they look.
