friends dont let friends drive rice....

Dan H 06-09-03 02:27 PM

I think he was talking about clear turn signals, not clear tail lights. ;)

eljefe62 06-09-03 02:47 PM

Clear lenses are not rice 1987guy...
keep in mind I say this because the kouki rx7 comes with clear parking lights...

Right.....

Yes you can get clear turn signal lenses, and personally I think they look better than amber lenses.

1987RX7guy 06-09-03 04:39 PM

I am an OE kind of guy ya know. get off your dildo. ;)

Just don't get altezzas. I beg of you. :)

BDoty311 06-09-03 04:41 PM

Good for you. Dont insult others cas they arent.

Im on a dildo? Youre the insecure one who is always calling RICE on othesr so God forbid people might think you arent a hardass.

1987RX7guy 06-09-03 04:47 PM

The only one I insulted(jokingly at that) is you. I did not say the guy was a fag or anything. He can do what ever he wants.

Bdoty311 I was kidding man. Damn!

Perhaps if people stopped nagging others about rice they wouldn't get hassled. Most are sick to death of it. Get over it... :rolleyes:

1987RX7guy 06-09-03 05:00 PM

Fact is I take ic personally when people do stuff like that. Since the FC or any 7 is so beautifull just the way it is. It is like having your wife turned into a slut and you can't do anything about it. But I guess I am just wierd. Oh Well. I'd still kick his ass if he was my friend.

That is your OPINION and you're entitled to it, but many here are getting really tired of having it rammed down our throats by you and others. The FC is a 17yo design, and any car that old will benefit from a few modern exterior changes. If you want your car to stay stuck in the 80's that's fine, but others don't.

BDoty311 06-09-03 05:34 PM

steve's dog 06-09-03 06:05 PM

why would you want it modern, there is nothing good about the world these days. look at all the cars (fast and furious) bands and curruption. the only thing to do is love first generations!...and second

You could make any car look like the ones in the fast and the furious. And if you think there is nothing good about new cars you are in mad denial or are dillusional.

Some of my only complaints about new cars is that they are getting heavier, more complicated,alot more are going FWD, and drive-by-wire.

But new cars are also getting faster, handling better, becoming safer, and they have warranties, even though I would violate mine pretty quick.

FEDREX 06-09-03 08:52 PM

I have the D-speed clear turn lenses on my white S5 TII and they look f*ckin' great - there's no rice about it.

How 'bout them apples, Skippy...

I don't like the design of the new cars or 905 of the kits out there. I like the stock look because I was born in the eighties. I like that era because it I was born in it. I don't like FWD I don't like power steering. I like the stock look thats it man. I don't like the way the new sports cars look they are too damn fat asses like you said. I am sorry for showing my point of view and stuffing it down your throats but that is what I do. :(


Just think about it. Your wive getting raped and made a slutt. See if you like that picture in your head.

I know the two subjects are not related but the part about the wife would piss me the fuck off. Think of that and you will feel the anger I get from rice IMO on a 7.

Like I said, you need to get over it. It's just not that important man...

I get angered when people think NA's are fast.

NZConvertible 06-09-03 10:52 PM

Here's a pic of the modified stock indicator lenses on my car. I removed the orange lense from the inside and replaced the clear bulbs with orange ones.

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...&postid=460077

Have I improved my car or "raped" it? Everyone I've asked likes it.

Kanaida 06-09-03 11:09 PM

i'm so sick of the "rice" talk... What people don't get is that all of us. Everyone of us. Is considered a ricer by domestic addicts. If it's Japanese, and you're driving it, you're a ricer. It's just funny that once you get into circles of japanese car fanatics, they start having to break down the meaning of "rice" so as they can not include themselves in it. Pathetic.

-K

1987RX7guy 06-09-03 11:16 PM

I said nothing of other japaneese cars. My perosonal taste is the stock look. The 7 looks good stock. It is a sports car. A ford probe with neon lights and clear tail lights claiming to run 9's or something is rice. If I would put graphics on my FC I would be a ricer by my defenition. I exclude no cars or group of people.

Dan H 06-09-03 11:24 PM

I don't see why some of you guys are making a big deal out of it. I plan on putting an S5 wing, S5 tail lights, and clear turn signal lenses on the '87 TII that I'm probably going to get. Plus having the black side body moldings painted to match the body paint. Call it rice if you will but I think it will look awesome. That is my opinion... feel free to flame. ;)

Bambam7 06-09-03 11:30 PM

I think it's horrible that the new BMW's and a lot of other very high end (and high$$) cars have riced themsleves out by having clear lights.


LOL HAHAHAHAHA

Man... can't you girls play nice? LOL
Where did you pull that whole "wife" analogy out of? I was reading that and shaking my head, thinking I must have done WAY too much weed in high school, but nope, it was actually there!
Anyways... on to the topic at hand...

I like the look of clear lights. I don't like the altezza style taillights- they look VERY chintzy and cheap. Smoked ones look much better.


Now, everybody hold on.. ready for this?? ACTUAL CONTENT FOR THIS THREAD!!!
Ahem-

You can make your own lenses by getting flourescent light duffuser material form Home depot or the equivalent. There's a few different patterns to choose from. Luckily, the lenses are almost flat, so they are very easy to replicate.

Another nice look is througoly clean the inside of the housing/reflector, and paint it all silver- then use a completely clear peice of plexiglass over it.

I too have an S5 and (Like Brandon's pic farther up) have the clear lenses with amber bulbs, but they are still old, and no amount of polish will get rid of the yellowness in the plastic. Nothing looks better than nice clean, non/yellow lenses.

Thank you.

lol I don't think you should put them on if they weren't on there to begin with. if S5's had them then I don't care but my S4 has amber and I don't need clear ones.


Santiago

BTW I am not married. :D

steve's dog 06-10-03 10:05 AM

i think the s4 tail lights look cooler anyways.

more times then not, rx7 owners either have somthing illigal on it, or are doing somthing illigal with it. (not everyone, shit!) so why would you want to put spoilers and clear tail lights and tented windows? so the cops will pay more attention to you? i garentee the cops are more aware of what a small little sports car (EVEN MORE with all these "modern" effects,) than the toyota camry next to you. thats why im keeping my car modest. because if a cop sees me he'll smell the pure shit coming out of my mufflers.

and why does everyone have to make thier desisions based on what other people will think? i bet you're not thinking about how much "you like" your fancy lights when you're driving around downtown.

BDoty311 06-10-03 10:20 AM

I agree. Why mod your car in the first place? I mean why did you add "true duels" to your car, they werent on there to begin with?

My car has an S5 spoiler and tailights? Does that make me an S5 wannabe? No they just look better.


and why does everyone have to make thier desisions based on what other people will think? i bet you're not thinking about how much "you like" your fancy lights when you're driving around downtown.
Actually every once in awhile Ill look at my car parked in the driveway or in a parking lot and think "man I like how my car looks" or those GXL wheels look alot better than my old phone dials." It also helps to pick up chicks with a cool car.

Icemark 06-10-03 10:21 AM

Enough of the ricer/anti-ricer... it is his car let him do what he wants.
