And no way in hell am i going to mod my current daily 04 Subaru Legacy Wagon GT 5mt, i keep it stock because its a car i bought to serve my family and their safety..

Moral of the story....a car built for soly for HPDE is rice on the street. Aka try driving a JGTC GT500 Nissan GTR or a Forumla One to get groceries...you will hate your life.

This same principle goes for people who try to set up their street car to mimic racecars. There is a certain degree in which you should stop.

What VenomRush said. That is more poser than rice.

Rice to me is modifications done to a car that are completely hideous.

Stuff like lambo/suicide doors, bright color paint jobs, neon lights underneath, altezza tail lights, other car's headlights and tail lights molded on, fake hood scoops and fender vents, wild bodykits that dont flow with the car's lines, bodykits that are still primered yet mounted, full audio in the rear, knockoff wheels, blue halogen lights that are supposed to look like HIDs.
