It's not really underglow...i think he set it up so that when you lock/unlock the car it lights up, pretty VIP to me, a number of people have them, Kiran, MalayaKing (sp) has them and his car is certainly not rice.

honestly.. lots of things can be considered rice from another point of view..

somebody can call LEDs on the door panels rice..

LEDs for the dome lights rice.. LEDs replacing all those yellow shit bulbs can be rice..

replacing the gauge cluster lights to be blue or white with LEDs can be rice in their view.

heck, even to some, having a lowered car with OEM lip kit can be rice to them. so its all gravy.. one person's point of view is not anothers in ways.

i got called rice for having my lip kit and drop with stock wheels.

Perfect build right there. Good stuff

And your rice post above..honestly, if people are still in this whole world of rice this rice that, their pretty lame. So long as the car flows well and is put together with some thought and style it's all good! Yours is far from rice.

i agree.. this car is about as far from rice as it gets. very nice looking in fact.

but there will ALWAYS be people that do retarded shit to their cars.
hence.. always being people calling them out on it.. so, i do believe their will always be people in this WHOLE world calling things rice lol.

im sorry IMO, I just think lights under the side or anyside of any car is rice PERIOD. Puddle lights or not, its lights under the car, might as well put streetglow anyways, Mr. Saber/Inspire man, j/k , like we all say to each is his own, but bro your car is lookin SICK reguardless....imagine Ebony interior??.........

I never said the curtains looked ugly...I just wasn't expecting them.

I would probably never put them on my car, but my car doesn't look like Josh's.

If you really think thas wack, you oviously got issues ,unless the dropp is horrible but if the dropp is good you have no excuse, our 2ndGens breaks necks! of course once done right, cause you know for yourself if you see a sexy 2nd GEN sittin right with kit, you would break you neck , just like everyone on here, so thats some B.S, you ever thought about running complete puddles for your whole lipkit? Rock on MR. Saber/Inspire man.......

puddle lights look awesome.. it finishes the VIP touch.. we can argue all day long but opinions are opinions..

to me.. a 2nd gen dropped with a kit and stock wheels won't even break my neck.. i can do that any day at home with my own stock wheels.. i'll just be like.. oh nice, its dropped with factory kit... cooooll..... and what is.. "sitting right" you're not sitting right.. you have stock wheels and springs.

your drop sucks cuz your on springs.. your rear sucks cuz you have EDM rear fog light + no exhaust leaving blank holes in your cut outs... you have yellow film over your fogs and intersection lights that aren't even really "JDM" oriented..

i can say all these but these are just my opinions on something else..

you got issues for not liking my puddle lights


its all opinions.. you either like it, or you don't.

Brabus is a German tuning company and they put puddle lights on their EDM cars i.e. Mercedes-Benz and it doesn't look "rice" to me. JDM, EDM, Rice, Ghetto, Donk are simply names given to trends, but everyone has their own opinion. Just because you don't like something that someone did to their car does NOT mean it's "rice". Even I personally would not run puddle lights, but it isn't an eye sore. I also would not run rear fogs on my car, but just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's "rice".

josh full details on the curtains? i was on the fence about them a while back but never pulled the trigger cause VIP companies never have model specific shit for Acuras. how are they with the windows down? do they flap all annoyingly?

and as always, one of the cleanest cars on the site. props

its measurements.. you have to measure the height and length.. don't really need length.. but height..

Junction Produce Curtains in SMALL size is what i got.

and with windows down.. you don't hear them flapping, but you see them flapping when you look at them. hahah... its not all THAT bad.. i just fear of one day.. losing the curtain straps.
