I was recently debating this issue with a friend who has a wrx and installed some underglow on his car. When i saw this i thought it looked good but started to have the rice apperence, what do you all thik of this underglow concept?

I think someone posted this question a month ago

Here's a simple rule of thumb:

1) Does it make your car go faster?

2) Does it add anything that others might point at and laugh?

If no to the first and yes to the second, then it is rice.

If yes to both, then borderline rice.

If yes to only the first question, then it is not rice.

By the rule above, underbody neon glow = RICE

really, then why did they use it in the fast & furious cars?

dont ever mention the F & F cars in here again lol :monkey:

NICE !!!

I would not put it on my car but i just was wondering what you all thought of it, and i agree never mention 2 fast 2 furious, movie dedicated to ricers, jumping a bridge give me a break no way in hell possible without tottaly killing your car

I also understand that they take up a ton of power that could be powering useful things such as your headlights and taillights, and they are also quite fragile. With the gravel on the roads here in AZ (they use gravel in place of grass as landscaping, so there is pink gravel EVERYWHERE) a set of neon underbody lights probably wouldn't survive a weekend.

At a car show, may be. but on the street, fahgettaboudit.

ricer :p

underglow is true rice.

Pretty rice.

rice

RICE

I agree its rice

The only real question is how could someone NOT consider it rice?

Guy who lives in an apartment near me has a StreetGlo setup on his...Toyota 4Runner! Not lowered, and you can see the stupid tubes when they are on.

...

Vote one more for RICE ! Just because they dont look attractive, they suck power from everything, they break all the time, they are associated with F&F and 2F2F . . . . all those things aside . . . they are still horrible.

WRX Rush

true, very rice!

P-I-M-P !!
thats how you spell rice right??:D

Seriously, if it makes whoever puts it on happy, let them do it. Thats the fun in customizing cars, do what you like. You know what they say about the eye of the beholder and all.

Personally, not my style, but its not my car so do whatever makes him happy.

I hate to nitpick, but this isn't the case in the common lexicon. "Rice" is dressing up a car to be what it is not -- fast, cool, etc. etc. with cheapo parts and half-assed solutions.

PIMP, on the other hand, is taking an expensive car and adding ostentatious bling-bling and other add-ons to it that really take it over the top, such as chrome 21" wheels, Gucci two-tone leather seats, gold hood ornament, etc. Pimp is rice with a Kristal-and-chronic budget.

Both are an acquired taste, that I will agree on.

In shows (with lights off like HIN): yes. Streets: no.

Each car is a reflection of his/her personality and expression.

I was going to put Street Glo's on my car, but I figured that they would break everytime I launch my car off a bridge. Damn shame.

I was actually planning on getting a NOS tank and a big red button on my steering wheel, but I'm worried that I might exceed light speed and warp space and time and then find myself back in the 1950's before Japanese cars had such awesome body kits.

Underglow on waterbeds: Pimp
Underglow on cars: Rice
:D :D :D

underglow is ricey

I have to be honest though, i do like a the neons in the footwell and under the seats, they just give the car a nice look when cruising with friends.
