Nick has the GLX, doesn't he?

IIRC, he ha a GLS.

True. He has a sunroof, which = GLS. I'm still thinking of Hyundai where the GLS is the base and GLX is the better one.

GLX is more upmarket in VW too, dude.

Hyundai has no GLX.  It goes GLS, SE, Limited.  Or GS, SE, and GLS.  Or GLS and Limted. 


That's it.

According to my magazine, the 2002-2004 Sonata came in GL, GLS V6, and GLX V6.

Too priceless for words.  I love the cardboard side window!

Wow...

Just wow....

I couldn't say it any better.

I guess the roll cage makes sense.  That wing generates s00per G's in the corners, and the autobox helps him to concentrate better.  It's good to have the safety net though.

That, and judging by those air scoops, he did a mid engine swap.

I rather like it. The Wing and front bumper look to be stock from the Celica GT-S.

[Sigma Projects]

the spoiler is stock for the GTS, but the front bumper has waay too much lip, the side skirts are kinda like a GTS, but a bit different. if he didn't have the side schoops and blue painted interior i'd really like it, those 7th gen celicas were really light. And if he had the GT spoiler it would suck to use the rear view mirror, having it higher up is actually nice for those cars. I cut off a truck in a GT model because the spoiler blocked out his head lights at night and I couldn't see him.....

1996-97 Accord LX Coupe Ricer Edition.  Interesting use of matte black bumpers and sill extensions contrasted with a burgundy red rear wing on a beige car.  Is this sort of "Tri-Tone" colour scheme the Next Big Thing in the Ricer community?

OOo one of those rare APC models. They're really fast 

[Madman]

I just spotted the ultra-rare Chrysler PT Cruiser GT-R SiR V-Tec Drift King Edition!

That PT Cruiser has sweet rims!

You beat me to it.

I really like black steelies.

Honda Prelude "Factory Racing" Edition.  I somehow doubt this guy has factory sponsorship.  At least Honda could have given him a newer car.

Standard ricer fare: badly tinted windows, single wiper, ugly wheels, fart can exhaust.

I've been seeing quite a few cars like this lately.  It's always big Detroit cars with GIGANTIC wheels on them and riding about two feet off the ground.  What's the deal with these, anyway?

Madman, that's called  a "bubble" because of its roundish shape from the 1990s.  Lifted cars on massive rims are called donks, boxes, and bubbles.  They're all donks, but a 1980s lifted Caprice, for instance, is a box.

It's a new car culture that started somewhere near Miami.

Yep! My ex girl was in Miami back in 2003 and she called me taking about these cars with big ass wheels. I blew her off because big wheels were the norm (20"-22" back then)around here. But when I saw the pics she took I was blow away! Lifted Impalas and Cutlas with 26" rims.

Civic coupe in retina-burning yellow.

It's kind of a cool idea.  I think the lift kit is awesome, but I'd rather put on some 15" steelies with 31" BFGs.  That would be awesome on a Caprice!   

[the Teuton]

I need to get a picture of a Civic coupe in Pittsburgh.  It's yellow, has 986 headlights, E46 tail lights, a massive spoiler, and a body kit.  It's the sort of obnoxious that just makes this thread worthwhile.

[hotrodalex]

Saw a perfect example for this thread yesterday. I was on my way home from a car show and dinner at Quaker Steak. I passed this civic with disastrous body kit, huge wing, super ugly graphics (just stickers and they were peeling), the mandatory fake fender ports, and of course coffee can exhaust. Sadly I didn't have enough time to snap a picture.

[Madman]

More putrid yellowness.  Allegedly, this was once a Nissan Altima.  Could it be a Ricer Taxi?

Yes, that IS chicken wire in the lower bumper air intake.  Why?

JDM is the new rice. Rotas + absdynamics lip (your choice of Mugen style or Type-R style) + one of those Japanese beginner stickers = the '08 version of a body kit

Granted it's much cleaner but it's just as ubiquitous and corny

Welcome to 3 years ago

[Madman]

Sorry for the blurry pic, but this MKIII Jetta (Vento) was just so FAST!!!  You can tell it's fast just by all the crap that's on it!

I bet that 8 valve 2.0 (115 horsepower) is chucking out some incredible power now!  The body kit alone must be good for at least 150 more horsepower!?!

Had to do a pretty quick drive-by to get these shots.  The local ricer brigade were congregating outside Taco Bell and I didn't want to incite the wrath of these neanderthals.

Honestly, who on Earth thinks this looks good?  Do they not have eyes?
