Definitions of rice car on the Web:

The term rice burner or rice car can mean different things, based on the context of its use: * Most of the time it refers to automobiles (usually low-cost factory standard) that have the appearance of a customized / high performance car, but possibly with little or no functional modifications, such as improved engine, suspension or brakes. This is the most common use of the phrase and is the one the rest of this article deals with.

Car looks nice, paint is obviously newer. I do not like the clear turn signals, but aside from that it looks great. Just one problem I saw. You might want to hook up you brake boost manifold vacuum hose.

It isn't rice, man, you got a full-blown sushi bar going on! It's awesome! I really like the color as well. This particular guy was probably just too set in his ways to ever change his opinion, so forget about him. His opinion doesn't matter, yours does! Not to mention your car is probably more comfortable, gets better gas mileage, accelerates faster, and will get you more chicks in the end (okay, I don't know about the the chicks part, but the rest is true!)

I HATED the way the factory orange corners looked on my red car and like the clears so much better. IMO, on a black supra, factory orange or JDM orange/clear corners look much better than all clear. Initially, I had amber turn bulbs and 'blue' bulbs for the running light section but didn't like the 'hyper white' look of the running section. I switched to amber bulbs for the running section and I this combo looks the best on my setup. Not rice in my book ...

Thats definetly childish...and down right stupid to say to the person who will be working on your car once you're out of sight.:nono:
You're car definetly reflects the cleanliness of a detailer's car, good work.

Well, I can see his point of view. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it, I guess. With regard to the Rice comment, anyhow, the jap crap is just ignorance.

He's likely a die hard domestic guy, and anything that's built over the pond is rice to start with, then add the aftermarket seats and clear signals, and his opinion goes from rice to ricER.

Whatever, ask him to meet you at the track. :D
