Body kits
 

Everyone do you think body kits make stangs look to ricer like? :confused:

Its rice unless its cobra/saleen/roush - factory originals.

agreed, not that it cant look good (example SAI's black v6 with the Demon kit... which to me always looked like an inverted sleen kit, lol) but Black Widow and those types of kits, just say NO
Switching over to 'cobra' body parts is Extremely sexi, although we would get yelled at for 'misbadging' and such, lol :D

Some kits look good...and some are to over done and ricey looking. depends on the style

Black Widow
 

I put a black widow body kit on mine just for the front piece i think all the pieces except the back are sweet the exhaust holes are way to big

It's all a matter of what you like. I prefer to stay in the factory way, but that is only me. What does it matter? If you like it and other people think it's rice - so what. You are entitled to your own creativity. My car has an S351 Saleen body kit for the front and rear and a more low key side skirt. Simply because I like it that way.

Any body kit on a 6er is rice.

Any "over down" body kit on any stang is rice.

Any body kit that looks like a rousch, saleen, steeda, etc... is not rice as long as it is not over done.

Lots of opinions. Get what you like really. I love the styling of the Roush though myself, dead sexy IMO.

If you get a kit that is made for an Import and Mustang than its rice a roni. Stick with the kits made only for Stangs. I like the Cobra R front bumper or Steeda splitter with a Saleen s281 wing or Cobra on the rear, no side skirts just huge steam rolling tires on back. Keep it low and long.

Some people dont like my Rocker Panel Stripe... After all, its Bright White on my dark green/blue, so its 'flashy' and 'high profile' i kept the body looking good without the rice with the Chin Spoiler thing going on there... And of course i disagree with the idea of a 3.8 bodykit being 'rice', its 'rice' if its on ure 4.6 as well! the body style is the same, the idea is still the same...
Over on stangnet we have had many a discussion on what is classified as rice, although we honestly arent trying to change any ones opinion of when to use the word 'rice' I personally use it anytime there is anything on a car 'overblown', or even if i personally disagree with the piece added to car, and i dont classify any car that is stock as rice... So if i shove a Battle R Wing on my 6, its rice, and if u put it on your GT its rice.
I dont take anything personally, but in this case were talking about a car that looks identicle... lol ;) Peace

To me, rice is anything import. I think how the word "rice" first came up was referring to the import cars as "rice burners". The way I see it is if you like the style, then put it on. If you want to split hairs about what's rice, then seriously look into where every single part on your factory mustang came from. You may be surprised if you do alittle research. Not saying that we're all hypocritical or anything.

LOL, Exactly.

I'm going to start carrying Black Widow II (with fog) kits and Saleen kits. Since I have no source for Saleen S281 wings, I will be selling the Black widow wings as an alternative. They are surprisingly similar if you look at both wings by the way.

The Black widowIII hood is off the hook!

man
 

i wish you would of been selling them before i would of bought my black widow bodykit off here. are you by any chance gonna order in the cobrar r wing i would buy one in a second. lambo doors are they rice or not?

My opininon would be Lambo doors on a stang is kinda ricey to my taste....

Oh and my R wing looks nice... :tongue1:

Lambo doors are an import thing but I personally think they are cool looking, albeit kinda pricey with installation. I hear that they are a do-it-yourself mod but with something like that, I don't trust myself enough to do the install. When I have enough money together, I'm going for the lambo doors.
On a side note: Chris, how long do I have before the Demon Kit goes away? It was something I was planning on buying at the end of January. :sad6:

It would look kewl if u had lambo doors......never saw a stang with them..make sure u post pics if do get em..

We are hoping to not sell anymore to be completely truthful. I ran out of inventory and was actively looking to discontinue it. Our price went up, and I haven't even bumped the retail yet to change that. Should be about 825 now I think. I'll get it for you whenever you want, but the price is worse now. Just PM me anytime down the line if you still want it.

Chris I dunno If i should wait until u guys get the MAC stuff in..I heard it would be a couple weeks.....I will wait if your price for the MAC catted H-pipe is cheaper than $361.00 as listed on www.jdsperformance.com..do u THINK u will have it cheaper? and should I wait to buy it from MT???

I appreciate the response Chris. I guess just low demand for it huh? Well, I liked it at the original price but not $825. Looks sharp but....oh well. I'll just wait to see the new body kits you will be listing.

I also like the stalker kit.

I like the stalker kit to :glasses6:

I offered to buy 25 Stalker kits to show serious commitment, but Cervini's is VERY tight on there no wholesale decision. They will not have one other vendor besides them selling to the public.

Dito.... Especialy the side exhaust.... WHeeewwwww...
Sooooooo Sexy!!! lol

cobra r
 

i think the cobra r kits are soo sweet but i didnt have enough money to get rims and a cobra r kit there a bit pricey.

All things considered you would only have to get the front bumper rims hood and wing, i guess exhaust would be optional (of course, you 99+ GT guys would have to grab a V6 bumper!!!!) But damn would you look good when u were done! Personally i prefer the Uber Sex of the 03-04 Cobra... :occasion1

black widow
 

you cant tell me this stang looks rice with the black widow kit.

To each their own. What's up with this rice thing anyway. How did "rice" evolve into automobile racism???

rice
 

In my opinion from the imported cars taht go around with there body kits SWWWEEETT Neons(yea right) and there loud, pathetic,bumble bee muffler tips i hate those cars :boxing:

That looks incredible.

That's what I thought. It still relates to imports (AKA Rice burners) and I don't like them either. But why ask if something is rice on a mustang? The Mustang is american built (well...for the most part anyway). So, does rice mean that if you put an altezza taillight on a mustang, then it is assumed that you are trying to turn your mustang into a Honda? To me, unless you are pulling the engine and dropping a v-tec engine in it and then badging it with Honda garb or something and then buying an import bodykit that is supposed to go on a Honda, it's still a mustang. Right? Or is "rice" just a way of saying that you don't think something appeals to one's tastes. It just really bugs me when someone has to ask if a particular body kit looks like something out of the Fast and the Furious in fear of being labeled "rice". What happened to the good ole' days when an import was an import and an american musclecar was an american musclecar. Regardless of the freakin' body kit you had on it.

pics
 

ill have pics of my car under construction after christmas when i get my digital camera half the car is primed its pretty much a mess.

okay, well, for our usage, lets replace 'rice' with 'I find it butt ugly' and it works. :D

I think that car is hideous.
:whip2:

for those who hadnt seen a pic of lambo doors i found a pic for ya they look alright.

Yeah,
Those are definitely goin' on my ride. Cool pic. Their are some good ones on mr. bodykit.com too. :headbang:

You really have to watch what you order with these universal kits. You have to remember your door moves differently obviously and you have to make sure it seals back up right or you can be prone to leaks and what not.

vert
 

im gonna get the kit as soon as i get the money but listen the bolt on kits arent the way to go either they dont go a full 90o upward the universals if done right are the best route to and a little cheaper, im 6'3 its hard enough for me to get in and out as it is and the bolt on kits dont open very much at all.

With the vert doors, you should have more clearance than with the stockers. Provided that the kit pushes the door out and up.
