This is one of the better kits I've seen put on the tC thus far, besides the KIT widebody. But this is definitely a trailer queen. Not for those of you with a small pocket book. This one looks just as labor intensive as the other WBK's.

Some of you have a very weird understanding of the term "ricey"...somewhere from its inception to the present use of the word...it has been misconstrued. But to each his own.

If AIT's WBK is "ricey" to those of you...then for the love of GOD, what in the hell do you call this disorder???





The team of vendors that collaborated on this project put in some crazy hours I'm sure of it, and there work definitely shows. I don't know what 9-5's those of you have, but I can guarantee that they're having way more fun then push'in pencils behind a desk.

Creativity is a gift...but excess can get the best of anyone! Case in point... I think just the right amount of effort went into this tC.

BTW: someone was wondering what wheels it was running...don't quote me, but I believe those are the RH

I believe I was the first to mention the word "rice" in this thread. I would like to formally take that back. After seeing this car earlier, my definition of "rice" has completely changed.

It was my post you were replying to.
I can't belive you would call rice a "disease" and not think anyone would take offense to it. You are using "rice" as an insult. Therefore, it is offensive. And if you dont' use your car to express yourself, why are you even commenting on this thread, since the topic was about someone's expression? Like art. If you don't like it, say you don't like it.
Blah blah, rice is rice to me, too, as in poor taste in design and just ugly. Thankfully, this car is not ugly enough to land a spot in www.laughatrice.com

Add that gigantic wing that that other guy ripped off of his firebird or whatever it was, and it would be a perfect candidate

On that website, it looked like if you did anything at all to your car that was purely cosmetic, it would be considered rice!

not my cup of tea.... but it doesnt look that bad. I seen worse kits for the tC before. It might look better without all the graffix and a solid color so you can see the lines of the car.

Ok Ok... enough guys. The big reason that stuff like that came to be called rice is the way rice is used in many foods. Rice is used in many foods as a filler. And since people started adding non-functional filler mods ( big wings and fart can exhaust on slow ___ cars) and the fact that they were added on Japaneese cars... the name rice stuck. It describes all those useless mods that people throw on to make their car look like a race car. It has nothing to do with bashing someones culture. There is nothing worse than people making everything into some type of cultural assault when it is not. Do I like the body kit? Not at all. But if the guy who owns it likes it then good for him.
