"Rice" has a lot of meaning and perceived differently by others, but this pretty much sums it up IMO.

Not, it's a rwd car with a proper wing on the back and winglets on the side fenders. This car is clearly someone's track car.

You've been fooled. That is NOT a track car, but he's achieved his goal by making you think it is.

To track people, it's very obvious (the alignment, wheel type, tire type, no signs of tracking, etc.)

Not everyone knows how to set up a car for the track. One could be an occasional trackday wannabe without knowing what alignment specs to choose for example. Most people on this forum probably don't know either.

Emphasis on the 'Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement'.

Yup! One of THE most developed, fastest 914's in the world. Ran in GT2 against the big boys.

That car ran low 1.50's at Thunderhill, and low 1.40's at Sears Point. It was a rocket. Still is actually, it's winning races on the East Coast now.

I'd vote no on that because I've got similar plans. Cosmetic stuff until I decide if I am going to trade it in the next 24 mos. Nice choice on tails btw, I was pretty sure I wanted those until I saw the Buddy Club's.
