rice ain't the word....noise and mpg is something to think about though. In honesty I would like a set and have occasionally looked at used sets...not too bad but I own a p/up with a rack.

To their credit, some of these litte civics can rip.

Those dudes more or less invented their style. While the Japanese do some really strange stuff to cars, those guys are original and their cars are legit

I had my roof racks on 90% of the time with the bike carriers , used them once a month with our bikes, no way in hell I was going to install and remove the racks every month just others don’t judge me because they are not being used.

Is there a noticable difference in noise snd mpg, or are we talking barely noticable?

I started reading this thread where it talks about exhaust tips. Is it just me or does the mk7.5 GTI have larger tips? I saw one at a dealership yesterday and can swear they are a little wider than those on mk7.

They are larger diameter and wider apart than Mk7. Or you could have been high on something... ::shrug::

Not sure if ricer, but WOW!
Not sure if Mad Max or Red Sonja was in town.
The impressive thing was the wheels and tires.
I did not verify but looked like 22.5 Semi wheels/Tires.
Even more impressive is the rear wheels were duelies.
So this vehicles tires could carry up to 36,000 lbs.
Not sure the frame/suspension could carry that!

Just my two cents...

Terms that appropriate cultural iconography to denigrate others are, by definition racist. That does not always mean offensive, but, it’s really best to avoid them.

Rather than using the term ricer, ridiculous is prolly better frankly.

On the other side of the spectrum, using your value system to judge others is also prejudicial and culturally I sensitive as well. Folks that think “riced-out” cars are ridiculous may use a term that is culturally insensitive, another party denigrating its use may be acting insensitive to the culture (‘Murican car guys) is also being equally insensitive and oppressive towards the group that they are demonstrably denigrating.

So... “ricer” is better avoided, and, more importantly, denigrating others because they do not share your “enlightened” values should also be avoided.

BTW, I’m a PhD in Social Justice (Vandy) and learning/understanding where others exist in their culture is far more important than suggesting that “everyone” should conform to any (especially your own) worldview is pretty silly.

As to the OP’s original question..

Cosmetic (only) modifications that look like they are performance modifications are (in this posters opinion) ridiculous.

:)

RG2002, is that you?

Anyone who finds Rice offensive is a retarded snow flake, 'nuff said.
