I think the title was misspelled, it should have read "from nice to rice"

Since you ask for some advise for your next mod......maybe change your head light back to stock and paint your mud guards to match the color of your car?

but w/e there ur rims...i dont see why the others are calling it rice tho

Personally I wasn't bashing you. You just did "some odd mods" to your car that really made some people say you're RICE, like mud guards painted black and tinted head lights In my opinion. The rest looks Ok. You also have to understand that majority of the members in here are a little older than you and hate RICE!

Uhm no! Being young is not an excuse for rice unfortunately In my honest opinion the only thing I really like is the wheels because they got good offsets and sits flush with your fenders. Everything else is sort of out of place.

My car at 19 *no pic yet because I'm not home*

The blacked out lights gotta go, and the rear bumper is way off.

It would look much better if you...

a) paint the mudflaps to match
b) get rid of the eyebrows
c) the headlights aren't bad, but would look better if you got a set of '06/'07 headlights and painted the housings black
d) got a set of wheels that complimented the car (although this is a personal thing)
e) get a carbon hood to match the hatch, and possibly add carbon roof and pillars or paint top half of car black
f) tint

You're heading almost in the right direction, just need a slight push to get there.

And why do people always gotta bring up the fact that they're young? Retarded statement... shows your age and immaturity.

Like most of the other guys said....change the rims, replace the "blacked out everything" to stock spec....pretty much just hit the reset button on it.

Thumbs up on the CF hatch though. It's PIMP. Next mod should be a CF Hood, like the other guy said.

Good luck with the whip.
