I don't think so - rice stuff is useless upgrades or mods/tasteless stuff done to cars. These lights serve a purpose - they remain stock colours and are a further update from the 99 look...this is the look new cars are coming out with - check out Lexus, new Mazdas and such. I think these lights are definitely a lot more imaginative than the sticker stuff we've seen for the last 5 years...These are actual lens changes, no tacky crap.

lol - well I guess it comes down to different tastes/opinions. Do you have any mods done to your car? The reason why I ask is if you don't then I could see why the lights might not suit the style, but if you had a 99 front I think the lights would look good.

I was thinking that too, but then they wouldn't be "modern" style...I think it's just the green with that silver and then the lights all together looks really bad because there are so many different colours it's like a Christmas tree.

It was just another attachment of the styling of new lights...with the silver.

OK, I see. The RX8 lights look better, though, the silver is less prominent than the lights in the first pic.

I see what your saying. I think that look would look best on dark color car.

I think everybody has their own opinion... if you like them put them on and enjoy. Someone is always going to think anything done to a car is rice.
