One of the great things about this car is how much you can do to customize, and personalize it. By your logic anyone that puts in aftermarket tail lights, etc is "ricer" since those things don't serve to enhance anything over stock ones other than cosmetically - or hell, even the "functional" mods that people put into their car might as well be labeled ricer as well since those people aren't tracking their car, or are rarely achieving speeds that would allow those mods to benefit them at all.
I'm not trying to be a jackass, I just think it's nice to see people stylizing these cars, and I think too many people are quick to throw around the term ricer without necessarily knowing what it means.
Now if someone's car is decked out in shit that is serving no purpose other than to call attention to themselves, and can be both dangerous / distracting to them or other drivers, that's a different sort of story.

So what you're saying is that a big ridiculous wing on this car isn't rice because it looks good? lol... if you're adding what should be used as a performance mod to your car purely for cosmetic reasons, how is that not rice?
Also, I never said that cosmetic mods were rice. Some nice looking tail lights are fine. There's a big difference between trying to make your car look like a race car with its stock 200 hp and personalizing the car with some tasteful cosmetic mods.
I find it funny when people go out and spend $5-10k on cosmetic mods like body kits and loud (fart can) mufflers to make their car look and sound fast and... don't do a damn thing to make the car actually fast. THAT's what I consider rice.
