I don't think underbody neons are rice all the time. As long as they fit the car in a way so that it's natural for them to be there. Say you use 20 000$ or more to fix up your Celica inside and outside(visual mods, not performance). Then top this off with underbody and interior neon. Now how is that rice?
On the other hand, if you just slap on some neon and think you are cool, then yes. Rice. -------------------- ![]() |

They have to be an accent to modifications, not a mod in and of themselves. Example -- contrast with a stellar paint job or show off just how low she'll go.
There are times when the neons can look great. Ever seen a car done in jet black, everything jet black except minimal instrument lighting in red? Tailights smoked, marker lights shaved, pop-up headlights. This RX-7 was about 1.5 inches off the ground, black wheels, black tint, looked like it was made out of shadow. It had underbody lights/neons, but not bright, just enough to get that menacing glow that defined its edges. Car was probably the most intimidating piece of machinery this side of a mining truck I've ever seen. |

yep, there rice but if you do a real good install job on then (hide the bulbs to that only the reflection on the ground is visable, and keep it a solid color, non of that pulsing, or strobe stuff. not to mention only one color, no rambows.) it will be more cool then rice.
but that is just my opinion (sorry if it affends any one) -------------------- ![]() |

as long as you hide the bulbs and cannot see them but see the glow, you should be fine.

I am getting a sponsor deal on colorstorm 10 stick system from street fx. I am getting more than 60% off, but can only buy 1 kit as per contract. I agree as long as they are solid in color and non pulsating it looks better, however because my kit wil have the ability to change color, I will have it change color every day.

Exhausts (on N/A) are rice
Body Kits are rice Intakes are rice So why make neons out to be a bad thing? 85% of the people here have riced out cars. This post has been edited by Sh0gunkid8721: Jun 11, 2005 - 1:01 AM -------------------- Note to new members. Discussions such as the ones below are forbidden.

[right][snapback]297580[/snapback][/right] gotta tell ya, to the domestics we are all rice ![]() I like neons, but I dont want them on my car. I just want a nice clean ride. And shogun, 1 question. When I get my car running 13s in 1/4 mile w/ my bodykit? I'm really not all about speed but I'm for show and now days your car has to be quick and look good. I'm aiming for 250whp. Its all in the eye of the beholder; I think rice is action not the car itself. This post has been edited by chucho: Jun 11, 2005 - 2:21 AM |

Playr, the Supra Headlight conversion is sweet.
I think it depends on your car. If you have a big aluminum spoiler, steelies with no covers and a coffee can muffler than neons are rice. If you do up your exterior pretty nice then it's okay. If you have rims, lowered a bit etc, and of course like others said, install the neons right so you can't see the bulbs, then it's actually pretty sweet. -------------------- |

[right][snapback]297580[/snapback][/right] i actually really disagree with this... how is an intake, rice? exhaust isn't rice unless it's cheap crap you can buy from like walmart, and body kits? some of them are rice, but if you've got something under the hood to back up the looks of your car, i don't think it's rice at all. but that's my opinion, just thought i'd add my 2 cents... -------------------- ![]() |
