Default The Rice Way or the Wrong Way?

Hello to all, after doing a quick search of the site and reading a few previous posts I have come to the conclusion that I am a Ricer at heart.

I have owned many "Riced Out" Cars in my life time.
Currently my GF owns a Riced Out Car..........

1998 Eclipse GST
Injen Intake
Custom Bent Exhaust
Boost Controller
Turboxs BOV
It's a 5 speed not an Auto

so far so good right.
Now for the RICE


She has a body kit, Installed professionally, flows and fits well
OEM "Turbo" Wing
18" Black Wheels w/ Chrome lip
She has a sub and amp(Rockford Fosgate) w/ a Pioneer InDash TV
and She had it painted HOT PINK

I have had a nissan, two civics, a mini trunk, and now my S
they have all had extensive work, motor swaps, air ride on the truck, and crazy paint, and my Civic Hatch was swapped and turbo

I loved them all. Would still own them today, but I get tired of cars quickly, I have had a total of 21 cars and trucks since I was 15. from a 72 Chevy Truck to my S, Im not ashamed b/c it was and is what I liked.

Now for the main point of the post....would my S be considered Rice too?
And is my GFs Eclipse Rice b/c its an odd color and has a body kit? Hell it's pretty damn quick, sounds mean, and makes some decent power.

Silverstone with Red Interior
Tanabe Exhaust
Injen CAI
18"s Konigs with Falken Tires
Eibach Pro Kit
CF Hood, Mirrors, and Trunk
Ricks Black and Silver Badges
MoMo Steering Wheel with Quick Release Hub
Skunk 2 Shift Knob
Diamond Plate Floor Mats.(rice I know but I like em)

??????????????????????
Vent over

Honestly why would you care what other people think? You mod your car to fit your needs so why does it matter if someone thinks its rice.

I come from the DSM world and I've seen plenty of 1st and 2nd gen eclipses that could haul ballz. I think that as long as your GF has the performance to back up the pink interior......it's fine.

"Rice" would be if your GF had an RS or GS model and put the GST decal on there with the turbo spoiler.

Your S looks fine to me... Shit I probably get more people calling my S rice than yours...
