I can't believe you'd ever think "ricer" and "Elise" in the same thought. Shame on you. I think it's usually obvious when mods are done to make an automobile look like something it's not, so the term is somewhat subjective for me. IMO even red calipers look great on a VX because it gives it more of a "customized" look. On a 1992 lowered Yugo with a body kit? That's just plain stupid.
