I try to take criticism with a grain of salt. I like to think that respect has to be given before I can even hope to get it. Besides if I can't handle a little criticism than I shouldn't be doing this anyway. It kinda goes with modifying a car.

I wish I had thought about taking a camera to shop with me, it is too late now the lights are done and now he is working on the trunk, it will definitely be done next week. We left the key lock in the trunk lid because the cable broke while he was in the trunk measuring the seal. It did have to get relocated 2" in.

As for the Foose, PMR things. I wouldn't let PMR in my yard much less near my car. I am sure they are very capable but too extreme. I am undecided on Chip Foose. On the one hand I respect him and love his designs (plus his name adds about $50K to the value of the car) but I want my car to be my ideas not someone elses interpretation of my ideas.

I heard that Chip Foose just signed a contract with Ford to do the "Foose Edition" F-150 and Mustang. I guess he can't be associated with any other project. I hope that doesn't include Overhaulin'

bah to each his own but there are MANY other cars that look good in yellow. Corvettes come to mind as well as several classics such as Camaros etc.

That car actually would be pretty sweet with a different hood though IMO. Just way too much hood scoop for that particular car. Maybe sub with a carbon fiber hood, toned down alot.

PHLAME ON!


(p.s. after him saying thiat ^^ i now revoke the title of the 3rd generation forum's ricer. hey we all have standards...)

Dirt Rich

Admit it, a few years ago (when he started that build) you would've been drooling over some of the things he's done to it. You guys can call me a ricer if you'd like, doesn't matter much to me what people think. I'm sure you won't even like my car when I'm done, and I'm fine with that aswell. The fact is, I do like alteezas and carbon fiber and spoilers (as long as they flow right with the lines of the car) and I'm going to build the car I like regardless of opinions either positive or negative from others. I even just recently added a spoiler and a highflow exhaust with a 4 inch outlet to my car, even meshed the grill. I even changed my guage faces and added a carbon fiber trim bezel to the cluster. If that makes me a ricer it's still all good. The point is I'm happy when I'm flying down the street in a car that reflects my own expression.

WOW. I don't know what else to say. On one hand I respect all of the work that went into this. It is very nicely done.

But on the other hand it is just waaayyy too much. This is an example of excess. Too bright of a color, too much body work, too big of a hood scoop, too much going on. It doesn't seem to have a flow to me. The problem with doing too much is that you get tired of it more quickly.

But it isn't my car so my opinion means doodley squat.

why was this in reply to me? I said to each his own and have always said that...just know people are going to criticize you and you have to expect it if you are going to go radical with things. IF you are OK with that then by all means go crazy on your car. Just dont get butt hurt when someone criticizes your car because they dont like what you have done. Everyone has their own opinion on what a car should look like.

BUT NO I would not have been drooling over any of the stuff he did. You obviously don't know me very well.

i'm the self proclaimed king of customs when it comes to this org and that civic is riceyer than a mother?^*)er.

lambo doe's belong on a lambo, not a civic. have i seen nice ones, yes, but still not my cup of tea.
widebody kit(not molded in yuk!) without rims with a lip, big nono
ramair hood in a 4 banger...................
doesnt even look dropped.
neon was cool in the 80's, not 2007

nice(not rice) civics.............







badapple's been dead for over 7 years but it still looks as nice today as it did 8 years ago when it was done. 8 years ago was the epitome of rice, yet that **** is classy as hell.

Dirt Rich

It wasn't directed at you at all. I was quoting you to the post above mine. I was agreeing with you "to each his own".

gotcha the best was to do that would have been to quote the person you were replying to and then quote me as well after you responded to him. By quoting me it looked like you were responding to me with your post and confused me...hey I am getting old and have a newborn so I am working on little sleep what can I say .


I just think its funny is all. I have always said you should do what you like to your car no matter what people think. The thing I that aggravates me is the people ask for your opinion of their car and when you say its ugly or "rice" they get mad because you dont have the same opinion as they do. I can understand people putting a lot of time and money in a car and getting upset if people make fun of them but they have to know going in that not everyone is going to like their vision....its all part of it but if you are going to get mad at someone because they dont like your car or make fun of it then you need to leave the car stock and just drive it.

Dirt Rich

agreed 100%, and I feel ya on the newborn thing bro. I've got a 3 yr old and a 4 mth old, both girls.
