Title: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Abailey4 on April 11, 2009, 11:48:39 AM that soon our beloved 7th gens will soon be falling into the hands of the Ricecapades. I was riding around the other day and have noticed more and more modded 7th gens but they tend to be the Pep Boys Specials with all the flames, carbon fiber port holes, neon tag frames and shit. I see this trend quite often, when a car that originally started out to be moderately expensive soon falls into the price range that everybody can afford. What once was exclusive is no common. It will soon be like the riced out 5th and 6th gen Accords, everybody and their brother will have one and you'll end up seeing more riced out ones than classy ones. Actually it seems with the change over of gen 7 what I'm talking about is becoming more apparent. What do you guys think?
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Anonymous on April 11, 2009, 12:36:50 PM yeah unfortunately that time is getting closer as our cars depreciate enough to be obtainable by anyone now. and unfortunately to people who will rice out this vehicle. Just like the older models of cars too, there will also still be people who will mod them correctly, like the members of this forum.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: exelr8 on April 11, 2009, 01:10:29 PM I agree I have seen a few modded accords around here but, none that i would even be paid to seen parked near let alone have my cars picture taken with something thus hideous
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Mike on April 11, 2009, 02:06:45 PM It is my thought that these riced out ones only make ours look better.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Slammedk24 on April 11, 2009, 02:16:31 PM Fortunetly it hasn't hit my area and they haven't even got to the 6th gens yet either so I think i'm good for little bit
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: timot_one on April 11, 2009, 02:23:52 PM I don't know man. Look at all the 8th Gen Accords. Every one that I've seen that's modded is hideously riced out. No matter what, there are always going to be idiots with more money than brains (kinda sad since these are Hondas) that will spend money on anything that is shiny, color matched, or flashy. I can take satisfaction in knowing that my car is not a fucking eye sore.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: suleman_manji on April 11, 2009, 03:33:48 PM ive already joined this lmao
not really but really want to make the license plate light brighter; realized how dim it really is last night. and yes its sad, but owell. time to move onto better things. Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: 07CoupeBlue on April 11, 2009, 04:00:13 PM i have noticed more and more rice rockets but thankfully not in my area. and i agree with derrick that the switch on Gen7Space has made it much more apparent than before. seems a lot of the new people over there just wanna slap whatever they can onto their cars because they have a little money left over
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Skippy on April 11, 2009, 04:50:51 PM I've seen an increasing number of riced out 7th gens and I refuse to associate with them or allow them to join my squads. Rice attracts police and police attract headaches and gastrointestinal distress.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Latin2nr on April 11, 2009, 05:39:40 PM I'd care less what everyone else does to their 7th Gen, especially those ricers because one day they'll look back and say why the fuck did I do that to my car, my shit couldv'e still looked like mine......simple.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: exelr8 on April 11, 2009, 06:18:42 PM I just hate rice because them making a CM look like pep boys racing rolling bilboard it brings everyone of us to a lower level... Once people see a riced out CM and say 2 weeks down the road they see a beautifully modded car, like skip's for example, they will automatically assume that the well done accord is associated with the limited edition turbo V8 4x4 CM accord. Having said that, I must be a little bit hypocritical. If spending 600 dollars at pep boys on a car makes someone happy, who are we to judge them? We may label them as rice and not allow them to associate with us to bring us down, but If doing that makes them happy, i will let them do it. Not meaning i will hang around them but its their money, their car, and their fucked up head.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: mnkyman on April 11, 2009, 07:36:27 PM weren't more 7th gens sold than previous gens?...if that is true, it will mean more rice than before, but at the same time a large portion of the cars will remain in the hands of average drivers...hopefully outweighing the previous

Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: NVA-AV6 on April 11, 2009, 08:51:44 PM Tis what happens.....
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Philly Steve on April 11, 2009, 09:20:13 PM I am very scared.
This fear set in when I saw a 7.5 gen coupe in Miami with a 03-05 rear bumper to accommodate for his chrome Altezza tail lights (epic downgrade!), but still had the 06-07 trunk. Sure, it latched and all. But the poor fuck probably had a moldy trunk from driving in the rain. There was a good inch gap on each side right where the trunk on the 06-07 sticks out. I'm starting to see more and more Accords with chrome tail lights and 20" rims with no drop...so yeah D, I'm scared with ya. Today some dude on G7A with his whole grille spray painted flat black and black TSX wheels (probably not P/C'd) said my white interior trim was rice. :lol: Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: BliNx197 on April 11, 2009, 09:22:04 PM I mean the only upside to this is maybe aftermarket companies will start paying more attention to us 7 and 7.5 gens instead of us just yanking parts from other Hondas and Acuras. But I know exactly what you mean! Ive seen sooo many riced out Altezza light rockin, over chromed 22" wheel rockin 7th Gens around my area too! Actually one goes to my gym and Id say hey you should modify it but then I realize hes got huge fart can mufflers barely secured, Although I am interested to hear what his sounds like either way. Damn shame!
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Skippy on April 12, 2009, 09:50:16 AM Who cares if aftermarket companies don't pay attention to us? We've made developments by ourselves that companies haven't thought were possible. The under dog will always incite the "ooh's and ahhh's". All these fabulously awesome factory built race cars are nothing special. The only reason that aftermarket companies focus on them first is because they know they can make their money in that department...but the when the cars hit a track, you'll see something that spins your head....something that you don't expect..and that's an underdog that beats out the flashy competition.
Yes...we can all acknowledge that rice is a problem and people's definition of rice is also a problem, but the fact of the matter is that if you did it and you like it, there's no problem with it. I could care less of what people think of my car. I don't advertise what I've got, and I don't bring my car out to meets...I just drive. I get a lot of compliments (not as many as I hand out, but who's counting anyway), and it doesn't matter if the ricers get all the attention because of their stick-on Z3 vents, hello kitty neck pillows, Soshinoya badges, and jousting transformer graphics...they have their own subculture where they're accepted. When they venture into MY subculture and ruin MY meets, that's when I get annoyed. Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: ibcnunv on April 12, 2009, 10:33:18 AM Just look at what we can expect, I drove pass this guy the other day. OEM mod look is soon to get shitted on and called plain jane by these dudes.

Post by: Mike on April 12, 2009, 10:38:31 AM Ther are a few nice full body kits for the accord that is not one of them! I think the body kit's are going to become more and more popular because honda is going to discontinue the lip kits.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Knocturnal84 on April 12, 2009, 10:44:37 AM i dont see that much riced out accord here in tally howeverrrrrrrrrr i am starting to see them with rediculously large rims.... i mean to a point where they mod the suspention and wheel well to fit them.... can you say 26''

Post by: ibcnunv on April 12, 2009, 10:55:43 AM No, that car in that picture I have to say was done right if you’re going to body kit out your car. He de-badge it and replace all the Honda logos with superman logos. Personally it looked like a show car. The paint was perfect and all. Yes… Too much bling. However, this is the point!!!! Now one with 5K in hand and a few other G’s for work can get them what we wanted from the gate. My car when I got it was 27K. 4 years and 117K miles ago.

Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: BliNx197 on April 12, 2009, 11:29:02 AM Since there is no true definition of what is truly rice and what is not, I will say this, Piero that body kit looks like horseshit but atleast its put on properly from what I can see
and to Skip yea of course its awesome to see the underdog car thats customized right but it does suck to have so few options to customize our cars with and I'd be happy when shopping for parts if I could see that this is for a k24a Accord and not for a TSX/RSX. But to be honest I believe there are two true requirements for Rice 1. The massive body kit - proper lowering 2. Cheap Advanced Auto Parts/Pep Boys performance and stick on gear Someone throw a couple of others out please! Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: cna on April 12, 2009, 11:32:41 AM well i seen rice in ower cars like adding a 52'in spoiler in the rear like if there ready for takeoff and dont get me started on the taillights lol

And I get called a ricer all the time because here in WV its nothing but a bunch of rednecks and they anything that isnt from america is a rice burner.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: timot_one on April 12, 2009, 12:15:05 PM Quote from: "Urban Dictionary" ricer (Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt) A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to): - Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder - Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747 - Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool - Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself - Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire - Clear tail lights and corner signals - A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine) - Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case. The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles. Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers. Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: exelr8 on April 12, 2009, 12:30:04 PM Way to use urban dictionary Tim
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: Philly Steve on April 12, 2009, 01:18:43 PM Lol I had some guy at a dealership call my lip kit "ground effects"...thats even worse than calling it a body kit
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: CrazyCreashunz on April 12, 2009, 01:29:26 PM Well we all know that the time is near, however what everyone else does with their ride is not of my concern. True Gen7Accord owner'z can take pride in their ride because we been here since day 1 and have modded our cars ourselves.... New Gen7Accord owner's will just slap on a bodykit and some big rims and say they hooked up thier ride when in reality they haven't slaved not even a minute of their own time.
Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: status on April 12, 2009, 01:30:26 PM ive tried to avoid thinking about it. but yesterday i went to get an oil filter at the stealership and my car doesnt even look near as good as your guy's but one of the workers told me i should put neon light kit on. needless to say i walked away.

([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brj2UkUPjCI[/url]). My Uncle is a Mechanical Engineer for Dura which makes parts for Ford. He drives a Lexus. I bet he feels awkward pulling up to work every day in Detroit. That has to say something about the American Product. Back On Topic. I have always been really self conscience about it the rice factor of a Honda, partly because I live about 30 minutes from muddin central with pipes and mud tires, huge sarcastic country accent there. I think that is part of the reason that my car looks the way it does. I am even hesitant to get a lip put on.... The irony is that when I first got my car I was ridiculed for it but when they rode in it they were in awe of how nice it was. I think that they will keep their trucks and SUV's though. Luckily most of my friends drive fourrunners, so it is a happy medium. Title: Re: Is anybody else afraid.... Post by: exelr8 on April 12, 2009, 11:28:11 PM Lol i got the best of both worlds... i have friends in the muddin scene and i mostly hang out with a close group of car guys and gals... now there is a guy that comes out to one of the places we hang out at who has a 4cyl 03-05 sedan it has a poweradder filter from autozone on the stock intake piping and it has aftermarket hubcaps and a 3A racing muffler from pep boys... the other night we were all out at tennessee speed sport and my friend brought his dog out and patton(the dog) likes to pee on hondas and donnie(honda owner) parked beside me and patton wals to my car looks at it and then walked to the other side of donnie's car and proceeded to urinate AHAHAHA

Whatever happened to mutual respect for other people's cars when they are tastefully modded? Why did this douchebag have to act tough and make other 7th Gen owners look bad?
