Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Where I live, the ricers are the losers who put those park bench spoilers on their cars, slap stickers everywhere, and put loud annoying fart cans on their stock pipes. Every once in a while you'll see one with a busted up body kit or cut springs so its bouncing like crazy and bottoming out, LMAO, idiots. Im not going to lie, I live in a largely hispanic neighborhood and I can look outside right now and count at least 6 cars on the side of the street that fit my above description. Not rascist or anything, but that should say something. In fact one of the cars outside is a rusted out cavalier with a HUGE wing, fart can, and Super Street Magazine decal on the side. These are the guys that are causing the scene to lose a large potion of respect IMO. Just my .02 cents.

Those are where in my opinion,you messed up.Firstly,most would consider my exhaust a "fart cannon." I purchased it from ebay,it cost less then just a ws2 muffler,it has a "n1" style muffler on it.Since day one i bought it,i've gotten more haters on it then compliments but do i listen?No,again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Secondly,i have a hispanic friend,who is on this forum,and was on cut springs.They rode and handled better then my tein set up did. I know you said thats just your opinion,but thats borderline profiling.

Thirdly,you talked about respect.You dont respect they're cars because they're not your taste.Maybe in the group of people they run with those cars are hot tits?and get them all the respect in the world.You said those are the cars that make the "scene" lose respect,but any true enthusiast respects what others do to they're cars,weather its in they're taste or not.

Aren't you the one who said his CB7 was JDM as fuck, and gonna put TRD coilovers on it?

With purchasing the latest honda tuning mag i ran across this.I automatically thought of this thread,please read the whole article.





Earlier this year, Eibach Springs' Ryan Hoegner (aka vtecvoodoo) held an impromptu meet at the company's Corona, California facility. Infamous for its mega-sized Honda-only event held each May, Hoegner wanted to hold something open to all makes to kick off the New Year. The event was promoted on a few of the forums and, based on past events, no more than 300 cars were expected. By 11 a.m. the parking lot--which has a capacity of more than 500 cars--was full. Cars were double-parked and the streets were beginning to congest from blocks away.

You just never know who's going to show up until those gates slide open. All types of cars arrived to complement the swarm of Hondas, including Nissans, Subarus, even a few nicely modded old-school VW Bugs. Excitement was in the air, the turnout was huge, and the weather was perfect. As I passed through the gates, I parked out back and headed toward the front to help with parking and traffic control. For the most part, everything went smoothly despite the massive turnout. Some stuck it out, eventually making it inside the gates. Others lost their patience and left angrily, heading home to complain online; how some can bitch about a meet having "too many" cars is beyond me. But the truth is, these individuals will never be happy; they'll always find something negative to point out. Such is life.



But even some of those who did stick around and enjoy the sun and rows upon rows of cars weren't free from complaints. I've seen it online and the gripe continues: "That car wasn't nice enough to attend," is usually how it goes. Such gripes are part of a growing trend--not a trend like rusted hoods on brand new cars, stuffed animals zip-tied to overpriced tow hooks, or unused roof racks mounted by guys who don't ride bikes or snowboards, but a trend that revolves around hating. Listen, meets like these aren't beauty contests and they were never meant to be. Like all Eibach get-togethers, it was held to promote interaction between enthusiasts and to help support the community. It wasn't a contest to see who could spend the most money. I enjoy well-built cars just as much as the complainers, but that doesn't mean that somebody just getting started doesn't deserve respect...or a parking spot. They're in the same boat as you, working toward the goal of one day "completing their builds." They might not be as far along in the process as you and your friends are but that doesn't mean they can't contribute. While some are fortunate enough to start building cars after settling into a career, others have their parents to thank for handing them their keys. But I think most of us started from the bottom, chipping away at our projects little by little. Watching the progress, week by week as the bank account allows, is one of the best things about building a Honda, or any car for that matter. If you can't stomach looking at a car that doesn't have a candy paint job and high-dollar JDM wheels, simply move on to the next car. It's really not that complicated. Yeah, some nice cars were turned away and forced to park out on the streets at the expense of the less-modified ones, but such is the definition of "first-come, first-serve." Patience and punctuality goes a long way. Why shouldn't those who arrived on time be allowed inside?

The direction of these community meets has gone off course over the past few years and it's time we get back on track. It's a chance for like-minded enthusiasts to meet, greet, and have a good time surrounded by the stuff we love, without trying to impress judges or bring home trophies. You never know, that primered Civic parked next to you might show up at the next one sporting a fire-breathing turbo setup and a mint paint job to match those new custom rollers. The truth is, you can't judge a book by its cover, even if you have spent hours in the library. We've got enough people on the outside looking down on us, we don't need it from our own family.

Did you not read any of the above posts...none of our opinions matter,nor should they.

[DriftMaster]

Awww.... but I want them to matter.

No I didn't read any the above pics... I can't read. *sniff* *sniff*
Naw kidding. I can, but I just enjoy looking at pics when there are some.
So in this case I did not read.

[90accordgurl]

Seriously for me , anyone who says the word ricer should be shot.

People should let people go on their ways. I could care less what people think about my car for example.
People say "you're a ricer man , make the car look like mine".

WTF? Why would I be a carbon copy?.

Thank you!!! Me and my b/f talk about this all the time. What does it matter? It's THEIR car and THEIR money.

lord.......lmao.



yeah. i didnt really think about it like that til recently. i read an article in Import Tuner mag one day and it stated "we've become the douche bag mustang owners we've grown to hate." now i dont even look at cars and say "oh thats rice." because it doesnt make sense. its like guys with the Civics and Tegs making fun of the Accord owners. its our preference as to what we want to drive and its other peoples preference as to what they want to put on their car...

[bigbadnothing85]

rice??? lmao.... hmmm rice... a "ricer" can be any variety of american or import cars/trucks that are fuckin ghetto rigged to hell, usually have a $35 chrome coffee can attached with moms coat hanger, a piss poor bubbled or purple DIY tint job, and the extreme "ricers" come with the park bench that was stolen from down the street attached to the vehichle... in some mannerism... be it jb weld, liquid nails, screws, duct tape, etc... oh and dont forget the "custom CHROME spray paint" !!!!! lmao rofl... i see them every damn day... and they make me wanna puke
