I thought I heard my name too!

There is a time and a place for body kits and big spoilers, but on a basically otherwise stock car they are kind of out of place.

I like this for example:



But this is just tacky:

Haha

I just love to laugh at all those around here. They have the body kits and a fart can and the cars sound horrible. They floor it and it sounds like its going fast, you take a look at the car is barely pushing 25mph down the street :P

I live in what seems like truck country but there is a few ricers around here. The ones I see around here are just too much, even a olds aurora straightpiped with a glass pack as a cat. sounds absolutely asinine

That's not horrible but could be done better aesthetically, I'd change out the front lights, get some rims grannycaps just throws it all off. I don't like how the lip in the back curves, a small lip over the trunk seems fine to me but that's just overdoing it. The rear bumper is lulzy there's something to be said when I can look at your car from the side and see through it. I'd get rid of the scoop too.

Lol I agree, I see them all the time I work outside near busy streets so I hear and see hilariously modified cars all day long. Civics that look like they just got out of a scrap yard with a brand new fart can. I will admit freely, my Accord is a 4 door sedan, any modifications made outside of the engine compartment is purely aesthetic. I can floor it and do decent speed but I'm not holding a candle to any V6.

LOL, the definition of ricer seems to vary from person to person.

Me, I consider any car with a non-functional bodykit/wing and zero improvements to performance a ricer. Basically, all show no go. I'd be lying if I said the RIGHT body kit doesn't look good on a car, though most of the ones I see are so out of proportion to the car they make it look like a Hot Wheels, LOL.

My old man considers anything Japanese a ricer. My Accord is bone stock and he always refers to it as the ricer, the burner, the Jap trap, etc.

There are a few, by my definition, ricers around here. The one that immediately comes to mind is an Eagle Talon with a green/gray paint job, body kit, spoiler, the works rolling around here. The guys at the parts store say it's just the baseline non-turbo model. I'm pretty sure the paint job alone cost more than the car's worth, LOL.
