Actually, I agree with you. The "ricers" in the US think that they bolt on a body kit, fart can exhaust and some black steelies and they think they are ready to race anything that has come out of Japan or has RWD. The "ricers" over on the other side of the Pacific don't mod necessarily for performance, they do it for looks, which is why it makes more sense and is more accepted.
Also, I didn't look at the picture long enough--I had assumed originally that this was an american "ricers." Really should start paying more attention to the backgrounds of these pictures
