Advise for car Kit (lil heavy for 56k)

I'd go with performance over appearance too. But if I were you, I'd get new rims before I got a body kit. But that might be just me. IMO, rims/tires can make or break a car's appearance...and a lot of times people put body kits on cars, and then don't get rims/tires to compliment the body kit...and I think it makes the whole car look cheap. And I'm not talking about big, flashy, 20", chrome spinners (heaven forbid). I'm talking about something nice...that makes the whole car look good without drawing unnecessary attention to the rims.

Rice is usually Japanese cars tricked out to race. Usually people dont do that, all they put are intake and exhaust... Ricer is the driver.

THere are many definitions... commonly a HS kid slapping visual enhancements on his car and bragging about how fast they make it, spending more to improve the looks rather than performance.

Example: someone local to me took a stock neon and slapped performnce product stickers all over it, a "Type-R" badge, and an alluminum park bench (known to some as a rear spoiler). thats it.

a lot of people think putting neon lights under your car is rice, this was done with cars back in the 50s... granted if you can see the tubes sticking out from underneith then yeah, thad be ricey...

Heh, care to elaborate?

I know somebody who goes on and on about his MX6... but my mom's 93 Cutlass performs better than it does..

is this rice? aside from being lowered

this is kinda what i want to do...cept i dont really want to lower since it already has pretty good handling

The third looks the best in my opinion.

Now if you can look at that whilst keeping a straight face, I admire you.

hahahaha! As you know, I laugh at cars like that. I drive a cavalier too, so it is especially funny for me!

was referring to his probe. There's so many cars that are so much more powerful and better looking for the $$ of that car....
