As the title says "I owned rice" .... it's exactly what my Lude was .. i had GM wheels, WW LIP, painted calipers and in one stage CF hood, i think it was a CLEAN car with some Rice factor but RICE never the less ... since it was very low etc .. anyways .. i heard many times, WOW, it's from the "Fast and the Furious?" although my lude was like that B4 the stupid movie .. anyways, enjoy:
One thing i was proud was the interior ...
It was a fast good car with a strong engine, i sold it with 165K miles for some decent $$ .. kids came from Seattle and drove all the way from here Florida to their home .. took them like 3 days .. SUCH nice car it was ..

"My" first car was my dad's previous business car, a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT with 5-speed transmission that he bought brand new in December of 1999. He had put ~180k miles on it by the time I became it's primary driver and he bought his new car in 2005. For a long while, I had a AIT Racing Buddy Club fiberglass front bumper, Revolution rear bumper, custom dual exhaust (more on that later) to fit said rear bumper, 17" Flik Artic wheels, CF look-alike APC tail lights, Ebay titanium colored dual halo lights (which I later put custom blue LED halos made for a BMW), small 10" sub with enclosure and small amp, and a PJ Automotive short-air intake / filter.
I eventually changed back to the stock urethane bumper when I got an awesome deal on a Wings West front lip, so it now has that on it. The car is for sale if anyone is interested, as despite the high miles, it still runs fantastically well.
The funny thing about the dual exhaust was when I first had them installed, I was at school, and the place simply didn't know what they were doing. I guess that's what happens when you have a tire shop do exhaust. Anyway, for the longest time, they stuck out way to far, giving them the fitting nickname "Rocket Launchers". I finally fixed them, but they still stick out a bit; however, I still miss the deep roar from the V6.
Anyway, here's the rocket launchers the day I got 'em:
BC front bumper (this was the more rounded one, which was less common at the time. The other one didn't have the line across the front like the stock bumper):
And here it is in it's current condition:
Not as rocket launchery:

I'll play! I was 17 at the time and I had just bought my first car, this 240sx about a month prior to when this picture was taken. Notice the tacky blue/black seat covers and the "R Racing" steering wheel cover. 
A little better after a couple of "upgrades", but, I put Nismo stickers on my new ASA wheels. I would definitely call putting stickers on your wheels to try to make them look like something they are not rice. I wished I had real Nismo LM GT4s, haha!
-I'm not even going to lie though, I do miss that car at times. Great memories.
