nah Dweet.. not always the case... I started off old school with a nasty, ugly looking, Type 4 powered beetle.. if it didn't make the car faster, I didn't buy or install it. It has only been recently that I got involved in aesthetics of a car.. the only rice for me comes with my food.

you start out doing rice mods, then basic performance mods like a CAI, header etc.. then you progress to nitrous and then finally boost!</div>

Very true, maybe not the nitrous and the boost part. I am just thinking of my on-dash tach. Ractive 8 colour one. Yeah...... RICE, I think it's more a sense of style, you have your own. Some don't have a clue, but most are prety good.

Anyone wanna buy a Ractive tachometer!!! LOL
