When someone rices out their car in other countries (Korea, Japan, UK, Australia, etc) with stickers, wings, LEDs, fake scoops, etc, do they look down on those cars, similar to how people look down on riced out cars here in the states? It seems as if rice is more acceptable in other countries.

I think its more accepted in Korea. The stuff they do makes most of our rice downright tasteful. Unless its changed a lot since I was there in 02.

There are some really consistent flavors of rice in Australia:



-Lots of bogans in white sunnies and singlets like to get a domestic as a base. It then gets obscenely dumped on cut springs, chromies, and gothic script advertising an obscure local car club.



























et cetera.



The other flavor is the dying but present fast and furious rice. Take a wheezy asian econobox and fit it with terrible body kits and a cannon muffler. For some reason, the CE mirage coupe attracted infinite ricers to the point of seeing a stock one is rare.



















Show cars tend to focus on the sheer quantity of stuff - how much air brushing, how many subs, how much tan leather, than on any sort of aesthetics. I think it stems from the 'sexed up' style of modfying cars that was very popular with lebanese gangs in the eastern states.











That covers most of it, methinks. The current trend is definitely the first one though, people will do it to ANY car, and it looks rank.
