Alright I've been tossing ideas around in my head for what I'm gonna do body wise to my Zx5 and I decided I'm going to go with the WRC look because I love rallys so damn much. Now my question is, how Ricer would it be for me to install this spoiler?

now the thing is I need to get a different front bumper but I believe I'm going to go with that rear end spoiler and bumper. Now how much of a ricer would that make me? I hope you guys would be like LOOK AT THAT RUINED FOCUS! I've got all this scrap copper from work I'm going to turn in and I think I'm gonna spend it on the body kit. Now before you ask YES I'm going to do performance upgrades, I already have the FS CAI and a Trubends catback I'm going to get a suspension soon and then new wheels which I have already picked out and then eventually a turbo.

the rice I'm thinking is R.ace I.nspired C.osmetic E.nhancement so there for i would go for it cause your making your car look like one of the best if not the greatest WRC car evar. but if you meant rice as in Jap then no i don't thing it would make you a ricer cause your not putting a evo wing or a s15 front end on it, or Mazda badges when its a ford (like putting Honda on Acura). that to me is RICE in a bad way. but just my 2 sense.

r Mazda badges when its a ford (like putting Honda on Acura)
ur an idiot. flat out.

go outside the states and try to buy a acura. you will get laughed off the face of the earth. in Japan there is no acura integra, its the HONDA Integra. and Honda uses the Type-R model on its cars much like ford does the SVT badges. SVT Focus Mustang F150 etc. and the Honda NSX-r Civic-R Integra-R etc.

I love the look of the spoiler but the biggest two turn-offs for me are the non functionalbility of it, I mean come on I'm front wheel drive do I really need that downforce on the back two wheels? And I don't want to show up at a Ford show to show the car off and have people be turned off because of the wing, I mean I believe thats what happened with the '69 Dodge Daytona (but I love that wing). But I mean I do want to do a different look then everyone else down the row has. I mean theres only really so many different front bumpers and such that we can all choose from. But thats my two sense, I know that if I were to get the wing I would try my damndest to make it look good with the wheel selection and such. But I don't know, I guess I just want to honestly hear how many people would feel that this car is Rice because of that wing.

jeez, but that does remind me, I'm going to find a way to get light pods on this sucker and get 4 lights from www.rallylights.com to mount in place of the top grill where the Ford emblem is and get them controlled from a separate switch

i would say on a scale of 1-10 that would be atleast an 8. tho if you do the full wrc kit right, then have some serious power to back it up, it would be pretty cool.
