Which raises the question: if I don't race my car, but I put on awesome racing stuff like coilovers or track pipes or super ultra light racing wheels with 140TW tires, is it rice?

I'm gonna say yes.

Based on one thing.

l2 english.

You're own definition of "Race-inspired COSMETIC enhancements" answered your own question.

All show, no go = rice. Spending money on stuff that doesn't make the car faster, more durable, etc, but that LOOK like modifications that would make the car faster.

For example:

-Painted calipers vs a real brake upgrade
-Lime green 25 lbs 19" wheels from Tire Barn instead of lightweight performance wheels
-6 degrees of negative camber all around, instead of something reasonable like 2
-A big-ass wing on the back that adds no down force/creates lift and just adds weight (well I guess that's downforce, LOL)
-Muffler delete because louder = faster vs. a full exhaust that actually improves performance

You get the idea. Or maybe you're looking out at your car in the driveway and saying "This guy is full of crap, my lime green rims are awesome." Whatever.

Altezza lights. Stickers.

Stupid paint job.

Mimics lots of different noise to seem fast.

Fake wheels spray painted.

Distastefully flashy.

I agree with the rest, but I think that painting calipers is a durability upgrade over the standard galvanizing. However, if you paint them blue, or gold, maybe red even, and then add stickers... that's rice.

Brimbo or something. Has to be misspelled like Rolex knockoffs "Rollex" for example to avoid copyright infringements.
