fake hood scoop, tacky stripes, hood pins
Hood scoop????
On it's way to being pretty cool-but why are the side skirts so much higher than the front and rear pieces
Not really rice-the stickers remind me of F&F though
I used to work at a Ford dealership and those hood pins on the mustang are a factory option 
I was reading through the manual for one with it and it explains how to use the hood pins, and even says they are for cosmetic purposes only.

It's seems that there are a lot of opinions about rice and I am for sure not the one with tha answers to them but by definition:
RICE= race inspired cosmetic enhancement
I know we all basically mean tacky but as stated earlier, anything that is race car copied and has appearance reasons would be rice. That would also include the ground effects kits on any car of any sort, rear wings (very few cars that drive on the street have any need for a rear wing due to great power and handling necessity-so that makes it cosmetic)
Like I stated the Sentra isn't really rice in so far as it's tacky, I actually like it, but anything that meets the definition of rice would be rice.

The Pontiac Vibe is a compact hatchback car produced in Fremont, California, in the United States by NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc), a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. It is a short and tall hatchback that is being marketed as a trendy, quasi-SUV (or Station Wagon) vehicle for younger buyers. Prototypes were shown at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2000 and production vehicles came on the market in 2002 for the 2003 model year. The Vibe is the mechanical counterpart of the Toyota Corolla Matrix and is based on the Toyota Corolla's E-platform. It is currently the only hatchback in the American Pontiac lineup.
