People are just wierd here. It seems like 99% of the people on this part of the forum (don't usually visit the other sections) just wanna fit in and be like everyone else. I have no problem with people "customizing their cars", and if what they do makes it look like crap.....who cares? It's their car, why should it bother me. I can chuckle at them if they look absolutely ridiculous, but I'm not gonna hate on them all day long because they have a huge spoiler. If you like what you did to your car, then more power to you.
And also, I noticed a bunch of funny comments while reading through this post. 1) Sorry cupcakes, but our cars ARE NOT muscle cars. Maybe 40 years ago, but a v6 mustang (and I'm assuming v6 because of the section) is definitely not muscle. There is more "muscle" packed in most of the nissans and mitsubishis of the world as of late. And 2) to the "I like stuff that is functional, not flashy" guys; a lot of the stuff you guys call ricer was intended to be functional. Carbon Fiber (do I really need to explain this one?), the body kits, while most of them are just flashy, the large air dam in the front is meant to allow more air to reach your IC, lowering springs, etc....
My point is, to each his own. I had a Neon with a body kit, carbon fiber hood, 18" wheels and I even purchased neon lights even though they weren't installed. I'm sure if I had pulled up alongside most people on this forum they would have dismissed me as rice. I probably would even be a topic on this board making fun of me. But everything I did was for a purpose, other than the wheels....I immediately regreted that much wieght...but at least I looked good lol.

RE: why such hate?
But just to clear things up, in case I'm not really making much sense or speaking clearly.....10 sec mustang would definitely qualify as a "muscle car" as would pretty much any 10 sec car. I'm speaking of a stock production car. Lately base model mustangs just don't strike me as deserving the title muscle any more. This doesn't count for terminators and such....I would have to consider those muscle. But a GT with less than 300 hp off the line? Nope. And definitely not a v6. But when you start working on them, and modding them.....well that's a whole 'nother story....

RE: why such hate?
Hmm. There is a guy where I live with an 88 or 87 RX-7 that looks like absolute ***. It is three different shades of red and then thebody kit he has is three different shades of primer not to mention it is ugly. The rims on it are ok but everything else is bad. You would think he is a ricer but he has about 25k into it. It has a full suspension set-up and an LS7 in it making a little over 500rwhp, I think he is thesecond fastestimport around here. He says that he keeps it looking like **** because he likes to surprise people. lol I don't know if that would be considered rice or not though, since he did it all with a specific purpose in mind.
