The "RICEING" of the '04!

I just got back from lunch and OMG there was an '04 Black TL in front of me with at least 21" wheels that stick out from the fenders, HUGE freaking aluminum double wing and cannons hanging out the back.

I didn't have my digicam with me, dammmmmmmmit! He had a Chicago sticker on it so I may never see it again, but keep an eye out in the Chicago area. In it's original classy life it may have been an A-Spec.

That thing was FUGLY!! I'm going to have nitemeres tonight... :yack:

Mmmm,

21" wheels
HUGE double wing
Cannons in the back

It's the monster. Unfortunately, we cannot see the pic. This reminds us of having Camera-phone in case you don't have digital camera handy.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled up to him. When I got next to him he could tell by my expression that I was in shock, it was hard to tell though with his seat reclined so far back...

Seeing that car was a bad as seeing a 500lb person in a thong, you can't help but look, just like a deer caught in head-lights....

i dun know why people still do that, its become such a joke lately that the term rice has been coined and is well known. their friends should clue them in on what a joke their car is when they see them start to do this.

Don't say that. Life tends to come back around. Having to drive the thing is punishment enough...no it's not...pics and Internet humiliation would be punishment enough!

There probably is no car made that has not become uglier from modifications. It should be good for a laugh, but nothing more.

Won't be hard to spot, the tires look like they just barely fit the rims, the car is VERY lowered, it has an aluminum wing that doesn't match the car, it's one of those two level wings and he has HUGE cannons sticking out the back, so it's round pipes tips stick out of the notches that the original tips were tucked into.

He didn't, the tips are sticking out of them, the necks before the tips are in the slots.
