I also dislike the blue color. I think it's tacky (or ricey).
Hmmm... I'll let you call it tacky, because that's your personal opinion. But, I don't think it would qualify as "ricey", simply because "rice" generally means "giving the illusion of performance". However, the exhausts w/ blue are made of titanium, and that is a functional item on a performance car because it is lightweight. Granted, I would've preferred that my exhaust was just a polished silver color without the blue, but since the R1000 isn't available like that, I didn't have a choice. But, considering the exhaust weighs 55lbs less than the stock exhaust system and probably increases power by 10-15hp, I don't think it's really "rice".
Supersprint does sound good (and its design should work pretty good with the '04 bumper) but anyone who thinks Supersprint sounds the best has obviously never heard the Spoon...

Rice is slang for something that comes from Japan. Rice does not always depict something that is high performance, but usally something that is rice is high performance.

I think the Amuse would qualify for rice. #1 it's from Japan, #2 it yields high performance
I guess we have different definitions for rice, then.
