Does Anyone Here Have a California Dream body kit?
#12
So hold on, just because I like the look of that wing and think the California Dream kit will look nice, its gonna be a ricer? Thats a load of bull. If you call that rice, then you're calling the 2007 GeigerCars GT520 a ricer.
I'm seriously offended. Especially at the troll accusation.
It is NOT like I'm putting some massive over the top tallboy hood scoop or massive wheels. Its not like I'm putting decals and crap all over it. That spoiler comes unpainted and its going to be charcoal grey.

It's just that the 'Stang community is a conservative bunch mostly; not straying too much from factory looks is what a lot of us are mostly into. I am not sure why; I guess it is kind of our way to grant an homage to Ford and their body artists.
As far how much too custom becomes rice? I personally cannot say. I personally like Roush and Steeda front end fascias, but to most, that is not rice and remains within the conservative constraints. I also like the pedestal spoiler that you can get from Ford as an option. I presume that falls under the conservative constraints too because it is not too high above the rear deck. Although I do hear that most guys prefer the low down integrated spoilers; anything being more than the GT500 Gurney Flap being too much.
Regardless, don't let the rice term get too you, its just a reaction from us conservative 'Stang fans.

I've just got a ton of stuff going on in real life right now and its putting a ton of stress on me.
Add to the fact that I currently have a total of 0 dollars to put into the car, and 4000 dollars worth of mods I plan on getting... I'm saving up for this and I'm doing all the work myself for this - and looking for used parts any time I can.

Try not to take it as bashing, after all, just like Fifthwind said, it's your car, and what you do with it is your business and if you like it, that is what counts. You bought the car, you own it, so even if we object, we have no power to stop you from doing what you want or like.

For me, things that I consider rice include
Massive tall a$$ hood scoops that look ridiculous
Wings with more than a 1.5-2 inch gap off the rear deck
Overdone decal usage
Crazy blue HIDs
Also to watch out for are wheels that make your car look like a euro car rather than Mustang.
Those are just my pet peeves. The pedestal spoiler that I have on my 2011 is the biggest spoiler I'd tolerate.
