Hardcore Mustangs' show car!!
I don't like the aqua either personally....Just don't think it denotes 'rice'... I do like the competition orange though, still mad Ford didn't pull that color out of the bag again....don't like candy apple red over red fire either, vapor silver is phenomenal... color is all personal opinion.
Oh, I meant to reply to the original thread but TacoBill distracted me.
While the car does not suit me (I like the idea of the paint job, but not the colors it ends up with, and I don't think the ronaele/bbr scoops fit the body right), in no way at all, can it be considered rice. I can't believe how many of you fellow Mustang owners are on here calling another V8 Mustang rice (a heavily modified one at that). It doesn't have a huge hideous airplane spoiler, it doesn't have yellow stripes and accents all over, it doesn't have a coffee can exhaust, it doesn't have parts added to make it "look fast", and it's ground effects kit is inspired by the most recognizable movie car in history.
Rice? You need a reality check.

And for the definition above of Rice being external mods to imply the car has more go than it really does (paraphrasing), where do you draw the line with that? Is my car rice, because I've done more external mods than internal? I've got new bumpers and hood, the quarter window louvers, and a new rear spoiler, but I don't have a rebuilt block or supercharger, or headers even. Are an intake, CMCV Delete plates, a tune, UDP's, and mufflers enough to take me out of the "Rice" category?
ALright, I'm done, let the hater's hate, and the rest of us can enjoy life.

Rice to me is a car (like a regular Dodge Neon) with no engine mods at all but lots of parts to make him appear to be fast.
I've only been modding cars for around 10 years so there's people that have been around longer than me, but I remember starting my first mods and that's what rice meant then. Rice was the label for the imports that had a big exhaust tip and a big wing and claimed they were fast, now it just seems if someone doesn't like something, it's automatically labelled "rice".
Sorry about venturing off topic, but I thought I would throw that in here.
having seen this car in person a few times...
1. Its a SHOW car...this is what they are supposed to look like...
2. It looks bad *** rolling down the highway, and gets TONS of looks...
3. If you owned a business say, installing aftermarket mustang part from mild to wild...wouldn't you want a show car and something that gets tons of looks (ie a rolling advertisement?)???
sure, i wouldn't want to drive around in it everyday either, but as far as it goes for a mustang, it is pretty frickin sweet! it is an all around bad *** car.
not to mention the hardcore guys are pretty standup. here is what they did for me, first one in the country with the Saleen Heritage/PJ front end:

Thanks Jay, you can just call me Blake btw. And they look just like some TSWs...
I think you hit the nail directly on the head- MTV. That should be coined as a household term, righy next to rice. I'm adding that to my dictionary, thanks!
Btw, how many is that for drool vs no drool?

yeah i love the enthusiasm and passion.
but this mustang is just way too "MTV"
it just screams in your face. really annoying.
it's just too much.
you should have used a charger or 300c.
i guess the only bad things are the paint and doors.
everything else looks great.
19 years old, sunny so cal. OC/LA county. no drool.

Nobody has yet to tell me what is rice on the car.
The paint is not rice, Ford created a similar version in 1996 when they did the Mystic Cobra. Are these cobras rice? Again I am counting you and I need to get to 40 haters before the end of the summer.
To make it more intresting here is my 2007 GT Convertible with everything you can imagine on it. Over $40k in parts alone. Now is this car rice too?

Its funny how some people get all up in a bunch. I threw out that little stinger about grabber orange and got a response
now is'nt this something... some of you guy have parts from 2 or 3 mustang, GT500,saleen or roush and others, some w/ body kits, other w/ bigger wheels and different interior parts... some of you same guys have argued for fake badging of these cars... yea, go ahead and put a cobra badge on a GT or V6, you say. "it's his money he can buy what he wants". but you see all the work that went into this one and all of a sudden... "oh, i would never do that"...you already have... why do you think imports are called rice, not because its american made. that term only applies to a certain car.

Yes, you may have used quality parts. Yes, the work may be top-notch. Yes, the car is fast. Yes, Ford offered a flip-flop paint job on the Mystic Cobras. But this isn't some simple equation where slapping together a bunch of high-quality parts = great looking show car. The parts you used, along with the color of the car, just don't work well together at all, and I think that's what people are noticing and calling rice. The color doesn't fit the S197, the doors are horrible, and the rear window scoops don't flow with the body kit at all (for starters).
Go ahead and call me hater #22 or whatever you want, if you posted a car like this on an internet forum, you should be prepared for responses, both positive and negative. Don't expect a bunch of hugs and pats on the back, although I see that a lot of people in here are trying to be overly non-confrontational by not expressing their opinion. And nice try with the reverse psychology "I'm trying to get to 40 haters" thing. Trust me, you'll definitely get them.
And way to be original with the convertible. You used the EXACT same body modifications, paint, and wheels as the coupe. LOL.
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.








all in fun.
