Trust me, this car is clearly a work of form and function, it is quite obvious in person.
Jimbo - you're entitled to your opinion but if you have something negative to say, you might as well STFU unless the poster specifically asked for opinions. Otherwise you'll take a lot of flak and as you may have noticed, Rick called you out to show your 'pimped out' ride.
Rick, it sucked to see what Performance Nissan did to the front bumper though... did you get it patched up yet?

AMEN on the above. Rick is a good customer and a friend to alot of us here, and given the hard work he puts in to afford all the cool stuff, and the harder work he puts in to obtain and maintain sponsors, he and the car deserve our respect IMHO. I did not put the post up asking for editorials on Rick's car, though I realize that some people like to here (or see) themselves post.
Rick's car is the complete opposite of what "rice" is. The above pictures were taken at Nisei Week in CA, which is a BIG deal, and manufacturers and individuals alike come out to show what they have been up to all summer. As such, Rick's car sports the logo's of one of his sponsors.
I frankly don't care of you like the car or not, but at least have the couth to just move along if you don't like it

rick modified his car to make it less than it appears, by a couple hundred pounds.

the Seibon hatch weighs around 42 lbs less than stock (assuming glass in the stock one). It is designed to use lexan or polycarbonate as the replacement for the OEM glass, though the OE glass will fit if you are going mainly for looks
