Just to keep everyone on track - there are no need for photos.
The question is what is rice? When does a 'mod'/'enhancement' go from being aesthetic to being considered rice?
The main reason I initially asked the question is the whole "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" can just as easily apply to a factory released model as mr/s public's interpretation of what a car 'should' visually look like.
So..... Is something 'rice' when it has what appears to be go-fast bits that do nothing (XR6 SV6 VRX etc) or is it more - eg when the wing on the Impreza RX has been transplanted from the STi (Which in fairness is still a representation of the model) and not the WRX - this would be the bottom end of the scale. Or when any car has parts bolted on by the owner that under normal circumstances would be added to a car that is highly modified? eg Bonnet Vents, Fake RAM Air/CAI, A 4 inch tail pipe attached to a inch and a quarter exhaust system etc etc.
