The term "rice" is so over used in these formus is getting a bit ridiculous.
Rice in general means Asian influences. I see no rice in this modified 67.

Omg Please Do Not Be Covered In Plastic Like In The Pics It Looks Like A Bad Customizing Job From The 70's. American muscle cars should not be made up to look like something from a bad version of fast and furious. Please don't let anymore bad marketing ploys to sell american muscle cars with cheap plastic add-ons continue. All they are trying to do is add abuncha junk on the cars to sell these products to suckers who go i gotta have that front spoiler or that wing!! Save for the it tuner imports! Let them look rediculous. Ever see the movie "cars" when the tuner cars follow the big rig! Well to me thats what all tuner cars look like.
IMO. IMO Rousch is just trying to make more money desacrating a great design.

Dude, sometimes you slay me with these comments I swear. No offense on personal tastes what so ever, I think your car looks nice in general but talk about calling the kettle Uncle Ben.

you know pakrat....I was talked into the neons by my buddy who thought it would be cool...and I never use them becuase they dont really look that cool....but sometimes....when its impossible to impress ricers with the car itself,....I flip them on, and for some reason....then they like it. It just a tool for bridging the gap between us and them. I've been thinking about taking them off ever since I put them on.

I use the term rice with this car when I see "overfabrication," huge wheels, superlow profile tires, and ridiculasly low ride height, I dont consider my car rice becuase the lights are totally hidden, and and are optional for use. I put them on for..."just in case" factor. But becuase I'm a nice guy....just for you...I'll take them off if you me to....all you have to do is ask.

Heck no, I think everyone should have their car the way they want it, that includes wether it was to impress me, a ricer or the queen herself. It's you that it should please and only you, anyone else is just icing but you have to be the cake. I doubt you'd catch a true ricer dressing up his civic or Mitsubishi using fuzzy dice or raised white letter tires on a 14" rim just to get you to notice him. Personal taste is totally subjective, I wasn't knocking it at all, I just found it odd that you used that term. It would have been like if I said to someone, "Dude you talk way too much". Others could get away with saying it, but not me that's for sure.

Nick--Thanks for the new link and welcome to the site.

Even if some of the designs aren't my favorite, the craftsmanship
of the Ring Brothers creations is some of the best I've ever seen.

the taillights are hideous, they look like windows out of star wars, stop these butchers before they go too far. what ever happen to class. Just cause your a mechanic doesn't mean your a designer anyone ever watch "pimp my ride" that front spolier looks so thin it will pop off at the first sign of a curb. I saw a roucsh mustang at the car wash with half the cheesy bodykit falling off. Please stop the madness. I'll stick with my 70 mach 1.
