Ricer or not???

[ejbo1997]

I'm glad you all understood that you can make your car look nice, without making it look ricey. Hopefully you checked out that site, is really good. Thanks.

one point missed out in favor of the body kits, is most of them add an oepning to put in a intercooler right into the air flow, which is the same way they designed the srt-4's intercooler...i'm not saying that most people with body kits do it for this reason, but it is a valid reson to get them.

my personal mod prefrences, all either change the way something works( not looks unless it goes with a new function), and lots gages, for monitering everything going on in the car so you can see the difference that the perfomace mods do make. and i also like customizing a color and materials scheme in the interior, but that's cuz i like the difference's people come up with. my favorite so far is a kangaroo and sueade interior.

Well i dont know whats wrong wid putting a body kit i mean a car is like a person make it different thats what it's all about. but i do agree if the car is gonna look fast back it up!.

there is a thin line between show and go. but i dont think if you like one more then another means your considered a ricer.

WHAT!!! You have to be joking. Thin line my ass! They are two different things completely. There are some things that are definatlely "go", but are considered "show" but by no means are they two terms in any way related.
Here's an example, "show" is like what you'd find at a car show, "go" is like what you would find at a race track(back in the day, now you find show at the track) The problem with the things you add, all they do is bling anymore. No one is concerened how fast you really go. They are too worried about how much those rims are gonig to cost, or how much "cooler" thier car would be with a turbo kit on it. I say all show or all go. Be hardcore into one of those, and dont bug the real racers with the half and half bullshit.

yeah your right, I kind miss worded my self when I posted that statement, but there are different opinions on what a ricer is considered to be. But in reality there are different degrees in show and go. if a person wants a show quality car that is strickly show its cool. and if a person wants a full on drag car thats also cool. but no matter what there will always be the people that are in between. because not every one has the money or time to do both. Lot of people i know like to go the street show approach. were there car is nice looking and clean but lagging in the performance area.

There Is A Line,but Its Not Fine. I Do Agree On The Making A Car Because Some One Else Does Is Whack, I Got A Neon In 99 Because No One Else Did. My Shit Ran 13.6 Allmotor, With Mainly Bolt Ons

Key words: Function OVER Form
"What does it do, BEFORE what does it look like!"
You can buy a nice bumper, but it won't do any good if it's not leting air in.
You can waste money on a chrome intake. Looks pretty, but it's almost worse than the shit that comes stock.
Some things will help both performance and looks, but are few and far between. Thats what has to be decided first as far as rice. Do the parts have a purpose!

well before yuo can look good, you have to get those peformace parts done to the degree that you want. Then start with a body or piece by piece. I hate to drive a viper with stock 140whp. It doesn't fit together. Better yet take the approach you want.

But just becuase you want to make your car look cool, but not go for the performance aspect of it doesnt mean that you are a ricer, I know many people that put tons of money into their body and then not do major power work, being a "ricer" is like you said doing something just because its the cool thing to do, but their are many people who really take passion in what their car looks like. I also happen to know many people that have really fast moded cars and dont know the basic mechanic skills to perform even the easiest of tasks on their cars. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

[MrCrazy]

why would you want to know whats the opposite of ricer that just seems like a stupid question to ask. stop wasting your time and our time on question like that.

[drewh4386]

If you don't know the answer to something, you ASK or SEARCH. And if anybody is wasting anybodies time, dont post. You just look like a smart-ass if you reply
