    Don't see this if you can't handle the pain of seeing VX's turned riced, cuz thats what people call it now it day. RICED to every kind of touched up Vehical out there.Coution ..... SEE THIS IN YOUR OWN RISK.

    riced out car....Below....




    Riced out VX's(thats what some think)











    HERE I"LL throw mine in there, cuz i guess I'm that "RICE" catagory now.



    Well i know what you all are saying, trust me i'm opened minded, giving the fact of creativity, i do have more in my mind then just Black & White. I'm by no means trying to go "RICER", just following the Rally scene, and i don't know if you guys have notice, but most rally vehicals explode with colors and decals and sponsers and mods, so on. now if i took my yellow s2000 and did add home made and useless scoops on it, then yes call me a "RICER", but i'm not. And I do know the diffrence of a sleeper and a "RICER". I don't have 250,000 bucks to spare and finsh my ride completly rally, but with do time it will turn out to be one, i have many projects, mechanical wise and cosmetic wise, just that cosmetic is faster and cheaper for now, later i'll start with mechanical projects, trust me i have planty in my so you call " CLOSE MIND" of mine .

    And on this forum we have pretty much 2 main types of VX'ers out there.

    1: The Creative and Artistic mind.
    2: The plain Black & White, don't give a who Mind.

    Example Below.

    If you grabb attention on the way the VX's in those pics looks you can figured out that "ANY" one really got any "RICER" mods,all of those VX's are mostly modified inside then outside,suspension & engines are improved for true rally,yes still you don't see any one with "SCOOPS" "AIR DAMS" o big holes on them.

    I can bid you 100's of dollars that those mod VX's will dust your windshield without scoops just because they all focus on endurance & dependability.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    bro you focus and focus and focus on 1 thing and 1 thing only, the "scoop", if you read the whole thing throughly, you will read that i said i don't have the cash to throw away in 1 big mondo size project, yes i know those would smoke me, and thats awsome, i give them props, but like i said before, i started with the outside first, then i'm working on the inside and then go deeper to the mechanical side. my pocket only goes so deep ya know, plus like i said the scoop is not for performance to the engine, you understand that right? sorry i didn't put a long black pvc pipe on my side of the fender and up to the side, i just don't like that way it looks on the VX, personally. Again, the engine, are not that many mods you can do other then a s/c that those vx dont have anyways, and tranny, diffrent gears and so on will come later. if you read the thread about the yellow/green rally VX, it didn't really have that much done to it, just really diffrent shocks and extra gas tank. if you look at my gallery and see the process, you will see that i have gone a long way, just money is an issue here, but with due time it will come all together. so whats your openion, now that i truely ask. Do you think my VX is "RICER"? Cuz i don't think it is in my own eyes and what i think a real "RICER" is.

    P.S. Sorry about the Columbia comment, i always get the Columbian flag mixed with yours, my bad.
