LOL!

I like a little blue but not too much.

Where do you guys draw the line for rice? It seems like it's a personal opinion. Some people have 8000K and their car is not rice, but if you put 10000K in your car now you are a ricer. Kind of silly if you ask me.

I just joke around with calling stuff Rice.

I'm against HIDs being retrofitted into non-projector headlights on ANY car

I'm thinking when people see the blue lights they think 'rice' because usually other things follow on the car to make it rice. If they have blue lights, they probably have a crapload of decals, carbon fiber hood, fart can, etc. It's the ricers that have ruined things like HID's for non rice type people who customize their cars. Just because ricers put blue lights in their car does not mean your monte with blue lights is rice too. It's a package deal IMO.

When I put my HID's in, my girlfriend said "your car looks all asain now." She doesn't see the other custom work put into it at a glance. She just sees the obvious blue lights and associates it with rice.

I agree! It's not good for oncomming drivers! I hate coming to a car with non projector HID's.

I used to think they were dumb too, but after getting out of a car with HIDs into a non HID car, wow. Might as well strap the dog to the front of the car and tell him to bark when I get too close to the yellow line
