I finally went RICE!
Whats up everyone? As you read I finally went rice with my car. I just ordered a set of Z06 corvette rims 
My definition of rice=using another cars parts on your car (aka a Civic DX with SiR stickers all over it).
After I save up a few $$$, I'll be able to get the tires and then once they come in, have them mounted and balanced. I'll take pics once I get all that finished.
ps-the superconductors came in last night via UPS. Going today to see how much it will be to get them installed. I have NO time in the next month to do anything, barely enough to even put gas in the car.
Anyway, hope everyone elses mod'n is going smoothly as well.

Z06 stickers on your car would be 'rice'.
After reading your sig, I don't see why you say you've "finally went rice" with your car.

Hey guys thanks for all the replies...
Pu12en12g, yes I went with 18x9.5 all the way around and they are in chrome finish. A member on Corvetteforums.com gave me a great price, even better then wheelreplicas.com did (almost $200 less). So hopefully by Christmas I will be able to save up some green and wrap those bad boys in some new Yokohama Spec II's.
Slashz28, how do you figure I was rice before? Because I changed my taillights and I put underbody neons on?
Skull leader lol thanks for the compliments man. The whole engine thing wasn't in my control

i would consider neons and altezzas ricier than z06 mags. i wouldnt have said anything or even called you rice had you not said it yourself. i didnt say it to be a d**k or to cause crap.but those are some very purrty mags you got yourself there. anyway, i apologize if it came across in a bad way. .............................now come on, sing it with me, rice rice rice rice. j/k . take care and enjoy your new set of wheels.

Let me guess 2000, your a guy who things everything that is done to a car is rice? Well just to let you know how "ugly" those altezza's and neons are, I've won 2 car shows and soon to be more with my rims.
How many have you won? I'd just take a guess and say none. You leave that little car of yours all stock and don't do anything. I bet this little 94 LT1 with Altezza's, neons, 18 inch chrome heavy rims, and an automatic would walk the dog on that stock puppy to.
ps-guys who are dicks about their cars make me

Aftermarket, clear, blue, purple, tail lights are tacky and distasteful. Any experienced car designer and builder will tell you the same exact thing... plus it doesn't conform to DOT standards, unless it is factory, even if the cops don't give a damn.
Look at all of the famous car builders and designers, none of them use those fugly clear/altezza tail lights on any of their cars, it was a trend started by ricers, and it therefore will remain a ricer trend.
But... to each his own.

Leave him alone, really!
Euro Lights are fine.. gives it style. If you don't like it, don't put it on your Camaro. They have DOT Euro Lights for Camaro, I think they look good.
Ya ain't a ricer till ya buy rice.. IF YA DRIVE A GM, FORD, DODGE, MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.. IT'S ALREADY FAST!
Style is like technology.. something always is coming out. If you like it and it looks good on your ride.. put in on there. I'd like to see pics of your car man.. send um to me sometime.
