i agree, certain areas have been overdone or not enough attention but i wouldn't call any of it "r!ce". you guys need a new word for this type of things as the slang has just been blown out of proportion and makes it sound "highschoolish".

I'm pretty sure the first pic is one of those sponsor'd by Audiobahn or something like that. Not sure though.

I don't think either car falls under the r!ce category.

No bigass multilayer spoilers here.

At any rate.. Maybe a good descrliption for these kind of guys is "Overcustomization" as in getting away from the roots that make the car what it is.

Just a thought.

Despite that, lots of work went into both cars. Good job on that

ya i guess R!ce was too much for those cars....maybe tacky for the first one...it looks like what someone would do to a honda or somethin.....but mainly i just don't like big rims....especially on a 3rd gen (actually all gens)....i've seen a few on this board that i like that r 18-19 in rims but not many

The wheels arent that bad on the first pic of the bird, the black camaro doesnt resemble anything ****. I'd have opted for a diffrent paint job on the first pic, but thats all about opinion. Eitherway, nice job on all 3. I wanna be sponsored by kicker. I've got enough of their stuff.

The black camaro in the 2nd pic looks familiar. I think I saw that car somewhere a couple years ago. I recall that I was pretty unimpressed with the system's installation. That 3rd install looks great.

Same here.... I can't seem to find him though. It's definitely been posted here before.

Well, the car in the first pic appears to have audiobahn subs, so I can at least answer the question for 1 of the cars.
