Being an import car enthusiast in our group of people we would call most if not all of the cars posted here 'Rice'. Rice is a general term refering to pointless modifications that add nothing to the car. Now sometimes unique mods can be good. Custom interiors, exhaust systems, etc that add functionality aswell as performance.
These cars I believe are beyond the 'Rice' category and have stepped into the realm of 'Hardparking'. For those who dont know Hardparking is when someone dumps a whack of cash into their rides and never do anything with it. They might take it to the odd show, but dont drive it around. The only times its on the road is when its going to get more stuff done to it or that 2 or 3 times a year where its on its way to a show.
You can tell who Hardparkers are from a mile away. They show up late to shows because they have to make sure everything is perfect, they dont wander off more than eye sight from their rides and do not like to talk about their cars or answer questions regarding them.
Its good to have a nice looking car, but spending time and money on stuff that had no practical purpose to doing so is a waste of time and depending on how you do it or why you do it makes you fall into one of the categories above.
