its not about "rice"ing our rides with the wings, but it doesn't have to originate from asian street culture ya? i've seen some wierd **** going on over in SoCal when i was studying there back then......so it goes both ways...
cheers!

The only GT wings I've seen in my little corner of the world are on rust bucket
Honda's with KMart cannon mufflers.
Thanks for your explanation.

I do not really like GT wings. Do not flame me as this is my own personal preference and opinion.
1) Adds drag
2) Downforce only at 3 digit speeds. Some wings may not work at all, depending on design.
3) unneccesary weight
4) most people (usually non-driver) thinks its too over the top

I do not think GT wing is rice, just that some people will associate them with it.
Like it...put it.
Don't like...don't put it.
Like neon lights under car carriage....some think its rice...some think its nice. If the car is nicely done up...and the light compliments the car, i'll gladly give it the thumbs up. Example is lohsk's car.
At the end of the car...if you want to put it...just tell yourself 'lim peh suka' and don't bother about what other people say.
There is a certain degree of riceness in everyone of us. just that we either choose not to show it or no ***** to do it.

I like undercarriage lights. Rice is nice. Don't know rice so they despise.
This rice thing actually reminds me of what comments people who write to popular mechanics. These people drive US-made cars, big block huge displacement cars. And they really look down on imports or small blocks. In particular, one reader wrote to say why people keep adding turbos to their small blocks when a big block is better, etc, etc. He wrote in a "small blocks, imports sucks, big block better" manner.
Somehow this also goes to show one man's rice is another's poison. (Am i overusing rice?)
