Hell I eat rice and this rice crap makes me look bad(j/k)...
I think the problem is, is that people who usually love overdone exteriors are kids... Sheesh... I remember, I used to love some of my Hotwheels because they 'looked' like they could beat the other hotwheels... But they don't have any power do they? You gotta push them to make them go foward.. These (grown-up)kids think a car is fast if they make it look fast or something... I don't mind people who want to make the car into something that looks cool and has nice features in them, but there are too many young people that are getting the wrong idea in what is fast... LOOKING FAST does not equal FAST!! And the sad thing is they usually use the term 'rice'.

If the wing is taller than the car, it's rice
If the tach is bigger than the rims, it's rice
I think no street car should have one of those big wings. Only track cars. It just looks stupid.

How are you going to call it rice if you don't know what's under the hood, to me its rice if they mis badge it, or make look extremely fast but its not, but show cars a different story

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD, DUDE

Would it matter? No.

So... is a Plymouth Superbird "rice" then? I mean, it's essentially a standard muscle car with a new front bumper on (see Veilside - although the Plymouth's is specifically to aid aeridynamic efficiency) and a massively huge rear wing (made taller out of need to open the boot (trunk)...). Doesn't matter what's under the bonnet then?

WOAH there!!!! A Superbird IS NOT RICE! That is a classic muscle car! The car came like that from the factory. And, like you said, the new front addon was for actual areodynamic purposes! And the rear wing was probably too. After all, NASCAR raced them just like that.
ps. Also, I don't think anything with a V8 can be classified as Rice. Now i'm not talking about "what if i put a V8 in a civic?", first of all that would be an insult to the engine. If it's got over 289 cubes, and 8 cylinders, it's not rice.

Famine makes a good point.
But the word was tacky, not rice. The Superbird was a homologation special. All that stuff WORKED. It looked ridiculous, especially on a street car, but it was functional.
I dunno. Asthetics are tough thing to nail down. Fully functional wings are okay, but when you're off the track and just tooling down to the grocery store, its all a bit too much. This would go for an Evo or a GT2.

And all the same things could apply to a Veilside or Top Secret Supra - and they look bloody vile. But the stuff all works.
Just so everyone knows, I love the Superbird. I also love the Supra TT (err, original, not smegged up).

Whoa, there big guy, uh, no it's not. What's tacky is a 3inch BODY LIFT on a truck, and cheap a** all-terrains and cheapo dual exhaust that has one pipe hanging down because the mounts rusted out or broke. What looks good is what i have. I have a truck that is functional and that i actually use to go off road. My truck is far more cabable than most the trucks around here because they have stock, dinky, drivetrain with big tires, no lockers (ie. one wheel wonders) and crappy looking body lifts. And bad sounding exhuast.
see you done gone and opened up a whole big can o'worms that didn't need to be opened.
and to answer your question, you don't know nuthin'.

Ok, I have trouble responding to that. It's just so damn stupid.
1. never said he had a BODY lift.
2. never said he even had a new exaust
3. never said he had "all terrains"
4. never said he took it off road
Chill out.

Hey, do not dis the Superbird!
Even if it was the weak-sauce variant of the 'Winged Wonders,' the wing stood there for a purpose: to keep the car on the ground. (how ironic.) And the blasted thing was not put in place by some teen thinkin' he's the shat. I am not getting any deeper into the whole 'Rice tuner' deal, for it has been beaten to a pulp already.
