PERSONalize Each individual will have their own opinions about what looks good on the car they have. Me personally wouldn't buy a Firebird/Formula without the W68 kit because I think the bottom of the car is too rounded off. A Camaro on the other hand looks good without any ground effects kits, but they DO look different and good with em. Someone mentioned scraping earlier. I scrape mine all the time (no matter how hard I try not to), but I had some metal pieces cut and shaped for me that I'll put on the bottoms of the front pieces. This is yet another reason I wouldn't lower my car...if I did, it'd be the actual bumper scraping the pavement! Here's a pic of my 02 W68 Firebird. Swat
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.

It wasn't directed at any certain person, your right I reacted a little to extreme but peoples feelings tend to get a little tested. I understand that it is a way to describe something but think about the root meaning. There are plenty of words for other races used to describe things and people don't dare to use these types of words on the site. why should rice be aloud to be so freely used. It just seems to me that if all your going to reply on is a one word answer saying rice just don't type it at all. I realize it wasn't mentioned alot or with hate in this thread but have seen it in so many other threads that it just builds up. with that said let me give this guy his thread back and and I wasn't jumping on anyone paticular person.

I have a 2001 Camaro Z28 that came with the RS kit unfortunately.... sometimes I think it looks good at certain angles but I still want to get it removed. just going to cost a lot since I have to fill in the holes & repaint underneath..
but I'll let you be the judge?

383camaroz28, when I temp mounted mine to ship my car I used the double sided tape and some sheetmetal screws to hold the front lip on. I only used 2 screws about a foot and a half apart using the license plate as the centerline. The tape is not strong enough to hole that piece in place, if you hit anything it will rip right off.
