To the OP. Who cares about what other people do to their cars? Their property, their money, so it's their lost ricing out a perfectly good car.

I've learn throughout the years that being a ricer doesn't pay off! Sure, having oversize rims with ultra-low stance, exhaust sound that blows ear-drums, painted calipers, big racing spoiler, body kits, eye-blinding HID's, racing strips or catchy vinyl may look cool to the untrained eyes. For me it's all useless show and no-go.

It puts a smile on my face every time, knowing a long lasting and potentially valuable 86 is the bone stock or minimally modded one.
I would say @Dezoris does a pretty good job of showing not rice.

There are several things to me that I consider "distasteful" but not necessarily "rice"

-HID kid w/ ballasts in non projector headlights
-Blue LEDs anywhere (White I am okay with inside the car and on the license plate)
-lowering springs
-plastidip
-vinyl interior pieces
-19" wheels

and I find these distasteful when not on a race car
-aftermarket steering wheels
-bucket seats
-racing harnesses
