well.. my company is helping me push my car as much as possible to get it to SEMA.. this might take about 1-2 months with everything done.. meaning.. custom paint job, wheels/tires, suspension, sound system, some sort of F/I, etc. it's going to be a full on show car. so please.. don't say it's rice. cause it's not. there's a difference between a full-on show car, and "rice." the kit was designed by AIT. People tend to reject what is "new" to them, something they've never seen before. A good example would be, music players. back then, people thought the A-track player was the shit, but then came the cd player. at first people laugh and ridiculed it because it was different, people talked shit about it and rejected it. soon enough everyone started to use the cd and the cd player. then came the mp3 player. same story. i dont really mind if you guys still call it rice even after it's done. because i'm not like most of you (lip kit, drop, wheels, intake/exhaust), that is so mundane, boring and repetitive. i want to be different. i have my plans all written out, and if everything goes well. i will get a full sponsorship on my car, meaning, i will not pay a dime for any mods done to my car. if the sponsorship goes through, there will also be guaranteed magazine coverage. that's what i want. to make a name for myself in the import scene. and if you guys don't like it, then that's just your opinion. because i know that i my car will be great, once it's done. it will be known on this forum, and that's what i intend to do. sorry for this long rant, i just had to get it off my chest..

Yeah, I wouldn't even try to convince people otherwise on the whole rice tip. It's a worthless battle. Anyway... in for finished pics.

I know exactly what you're goin through. we're doing the same for some of our SEMA cars as well. hope to see you there

All_bets_off · 08-25-2007, 04:29 PM

i think the wide body kit is sweet. I really like it. I know you think that lip kits, intake ect are mundane, but some of us don't really have corporate sponsorship so we can't exactly spend hella cash on widebody kits and forced induction. Shit man, i'm strapped just to pay my car payment and insurance and proud of it.

I can't wait to see your car when you get the kit on. Good luck!

RiceBowL54 · 08-25-2007, 04:45 PM

Good luck on the sponsorships, and can't wait to see the final products!! Some people are just scared of being different...

PROPS!!
