GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

O.K. I thought, hey, let's get some use out of these digital cameras and snap some ricer shots! Pics must be ones that you have took. Accompanied by short description, and where it was found. No linking to pics already out there! We'll all seen the good ones. Let's get some new circulating!I'll start with the KOOLOUT wagon. Got it today, while getting a Coke. It's in Fairfax, VA.

Dear God, that thing is terrible. But I have those same style wheels left over from my Grand Prix. And they're for sale.

He stole your rims! or did you steal his... J/K! That wing is nice!

I do not even know the guy but he stole mine! probably bought them at the same place I did. They look better on my Vibe anyway. his engine was covered in dirt and he had the hood up at one point talking about putting a cai in there.

Here's a neon I saw on way back from my spring break last year.

Hope, how did you crack your windshield?

lots of rocks... alaska is the road construction capital of america!

The poor Vibe that only happen on highways? or even in town?

One car I see in the lot at school almost everyday is this riced out Mazda Protege. Oh man, it is soo bad! It had fake ~1" dual side exhausts coming out of the front quarter panels, I think a fake hood scoop, ugly hubcaps, exhaust, flames and some other stuff LOL. I will try to get a pic sometime.

Let's try to keep the shots of one's we take ourselves. That way we've got our own database! The neonis great! Classic Rice! Two different rims, clear tails, stickers, wing, poor fitting body, but at least it is painted!Goin gto Tennessee for the Weekend. I'll make a point of it to go Rice Hunting while down there. Always plenty Uncle's Ben' to go around down there! Ah man! Hope this thread can get a sticky!

What does everybody have against ricers? Everybody's always preaching "if it looks good to you, that's all that's important" and then you see threads like this. I though Genvibe members were above this kind of activity. Or maybe I just don't belong here. I guess Fformula88 was right in his previous thread. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9598 Or maybe we should change the name of the website to genvibericehaters.com

I don't see anyone saying we hate ricers. Sorry but I thought most of us were mature enough to see the fun in all this.

I don't have anything against people who modify their cars in ways that in my opinion look very funny. If that is what they like, then that's just great. I just think it's funny for example, to see a Chevy Malibu with a large aluminum spoiler bolted on the trunk lid with little plastic chrome wheel covers. I see this car almost each day on my way home from work. It's all in fun. I'm not a hater against "ricers", I just find it amusing at times seeing some of the different tastes of car modifications on the roads.Later,

hey, we're all guilty of a little rice. and we're not saying that ALL rice is bad. hell, my plates say rice rocket on them! and eventually if i get a body kit... converted w/ fiberglass patches, it will be a true rice rocket, especially until i get it in the paint shop! LOL. but then, you see someone take a beautiful or perfectly nice looking car and do something terrible like add a 5 ft aluminum wing! it's soooo sad.

I like that one Hope, could definatly see myself cruising around with that.

This car is almost impossible to find in Iowa City. You could call it the Loch Ness Ricer if you will. You always see it when you don't have your camera. Thankfully a friend of mine snapped a pic of it with his cameraphone. It is a little blurry, but you can make out the double spoiler and see some of the stickers he has plastered all over the car. From what I understand the the owner has a whole bunch of lame crap on the inside too, but with any good legand there is no confermation.

Well there is a ford probe club here in ontario called OPOC or something... everyone tunes up probes but I think that blue one would definatly not fit in lol

Is he getting ready for take off??man I don't understand the appeal of those wings To each his own I really guess

The Probe is GREAT!And on the other topic of "Rice Haters" Ya, I hate rice...proud to say it. I love performance 4 cylinders done right. This is just my opinion, as always. Is someone feeling a little Ricer envy?

oh crap, i usually dig a little rice, but that probe is hideous. some cars look ok with a wing, but never one that huge!

Ok...I give...I LOVE rice. But that Probe is NOT rice. C'mon it's a domestic car and it has two spoilers. That's just some kind of a joke, right? Please tell me that's either a spoiler that someone set on top of the other spoiler just for the picture or it's been photoshopped.

Who you talking to bro?I don't envy a 5 foot wing

It is an aftermarket spoiler with a universal spoiler bolted to the top. I have seen him off and on for about the last year. The stickers are new, first time I saw them was in this pic. I might see him once a month on the road and unfortunatly never going in my direction. The day of reckoning is comming, I will find him and post his pathetic excuse of a ricer on the web for all to see in 3.1 megapixel resolution!!!!!! Sorry got a little carried away...

Here is another one I saw. It is a work in progress it looks like...

That car will look SICK when its done heh. Got a few around here that look just like that, work in progress.

HAHA I love that commercial!Ok would it be more in your age to say "SWELL!" ?

i want that HOOD!!!!

Quote, originally posted by redlava »Here is another one I saw. It is a work in progress it looks like...A local guy with a great sense of humor has an older silver Celica with a white body kit and carbon fiber hood. He stenciled 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION' on the hood!!! LOL

Thats rice covered in cheese lol

looks like it, wonder why he has steel rims on the front... broke a rim maybe? or thats just how he drives in the winter.

some "ricers" put steelies on the front because they think they get better traction or lighter weight or some crap like that

I know someone that does that on the track.

not to offend anyone, but i find the japanese culture very weird!those tailpipes, the ones that stick up in the air! is everything street legal there or what??those vans were pretty neat, i wouldn't drive one, but they are a neck breaker.

well, im sure they find our culture weird. im not trying to diss the japanese people.

Sorry I neglected my duties as the started of this thread, but hopefully this will hold a little redemption. Found this outside my studio. Classic rice minus the wing. Could have sworn it was a Skyline GTR until I got close to it! Oh boy....maybe I should get a WS6 badge for the Vibe....

And a close-up of the "mods"...Oh ya, the exhaust was the "titanium" finish with the fake heat discoloration...true rice. Also classic example of steel wheels and the benefits they make to the car....or actually the lack there of...
