EDIT: Are you kidding me ? That Firebird looks ****ing sweet. Easily one of top 5 best looking Firebirds I have ever seen.

agreed it looks good, but a vast majority of people here have called it rice because its a v6 trans am clone, but i did not. so im putting it up against what i classify as rice.

I believe yellow belongs only on big muscle cars, especially older ones.

Neither is rice IMO. The V6 guys have a right to change the looks of their cars too. Just because the wheels are not of your liking or the V6 has been repainted, I don't think that qualifies it as "rice". Also, while I think it is "uncool" to badge a V6 as a Trans Am, I don't think that is rice either... just kinda lame and not something I would do. But, the car looks very good so how can it be rice?

I don't like the wheels on the yellow one but other than that, the car looks good. I don't consider a car rice just because the wheels aren't my choice.

I might be off base here but my definition of a "ricemobile" doesn't seem to match many of yours.

I agree. I wouldn't call either of them "rice" though. God, I'm so sick of that word.

There's no rice there.

Just bad taste.

You should try to understand what "rice" means before posting a thread about it......

I'm with the others..........neither of those cars are truly "Rice", BUT, there are some typical "Ricer" characteristics going on.

V6 Camaro: body kit, alteezas, rims, headlight covers, etc...

.....fine, they're typical mods, but the car actually looks kinda cool IMO, except for the rims.......they're not my favourite. But otherwise, it's a nice looking car, and it's not "posing" to be something it's not.

V6 "WS6": Trans-Am badges, WS6 hood & graphics, Z06 wheels, etc...

.....POSING (the guy even admits it!) is one of the biggest "Ricer" things to do. You often see V-TEC stickers on cars without V-TEC and stuff like that. I'm sorry, but why would you want to advertise your V6 Firebird as a WS6?! I mean, yes it looks nice, but the whole point of the flashy WS6 package is to say to everyone else, "I'm here, I'm fast, I dare you to race me!", but meanwhile, that guy only has a V6 under the hood!

Not the best examples of Rice, but I put a vote for the V6 "Trans-Am" .

Fromt the front, The Camaro looks Good except for the headlight covers and rims. The firbird in my opinio is too busy with the striping and decals, plus the TA badging. The only thing I would really call rice would be too much graphics on the firebird. But both have some pretty good money into their cars.

The maro is nice looking... and if you read his list of mods..... The altezzas have been taken off after the pics were taken and replaced with stock...... If he were to just change the rims...... the car would look sweet......

The Bird is real nice looking as well..... If he were to loose all the fake badging...... it would be 1 badass ride
