in case you didn't notice, I mentioned this is a mod that I wont honestly xonsider until the price drops below 500... as far as the kid, shes a good kid, but accidents happen... to prevent those accidents I'm the idiot that parks four or five lanes away from the entrance in the rear where no cars are and come out of the store to find a 1970's van parked 2 inches from the door, in those cases I pull out of the spot a ways so she has room to open the door... it would be nice to park in a normal spot though.
All I was trying to say is that if there is a functional reason for something its not rice.... if I put LEDs are my car (I may someday if I but another stang strictly for racing, this one will go show... unfortunately that means having more doodads than the other guy as far as winning goes for a new model GT) that would be rice, but vert doors to eliminate dings and whatnot isnt rice IMO
EDIT: oh and one more thing theoretically, if I buy eveyr engine mod available to include N2O and a S/C or Turbo, and then get all the "blingage" if my cars running 11s with the doodads is it rice still? Or is it an "acceptable level of visual modification in relation to the ET modulification"? Just a thought (IMO Rice is a definition not restricted to imports, but more the whole Fart can carbon fiber wing, more money on non-functional exterior looks than speed, and IMO I am trying to balance both aspects although I am concentrating on my defintion of style before speed for certain reasons... one being paying off this car before buying an econo-vehicle)
