    i dont really have much of a definiton for rice......really just needless customization of the exterior before the engine. rear spoilers and nice alloys are always good, but the stuff i say is rice is like a stock 150hp civic with a 100shot of nos, custom made bodykit, CF hood, decals and 1' high rear spoiler

    Well some people are quick to call a V6 Executive with HSV Alloys and the HSV bodykit through HBD, so the same might be said about a Falcon in a similar situation with the Supercar kit. Although alot of people look at cams, piggy back chip, exhaust/extractors and CAI before any body mods so its fair to say its unlikely to happen with the engine untouched

    You can just tell if a car is ricey, they are 99% japanese cars with high spoilers, neons, decals all over the body, large muffler yet the exhaust system under the car is as wide your finger. Basically made too look fast yet slow as a snail, how can u compare the V8 supercars to that? They look fast, and they are fast.

    well i only suggested it getting called rice, as practically ALL bodykits get their inspiration from somewhere, in the case of japanese cars it could be JGTC or WRC....Falcons and Commodores only really have the V8's that significantly change the bodykits
