Too ricy? M3 pic inside

New to this board. Dayum you guys are rough on the aftermarket stuff. Those look like they might be HRE 840R's or possibly iForged Senekas (although I can't see rivets on the wheel face in that pic). I guess my car might be viewed as rice, but I'll take a chance and see what you guys think. BTW I don't really like the hood, nor crazy CF parts unless painted.

RR BuGGz, welcome to the board. You are correct a lot of the people here are very hard on people who add after market equipment to their cars. If you own a Japanese car, or do one thing to it you're considered a ricer. Hell, half the people here who make that statement don't really know what the hell a ricer really is. Don't let that bother you. Just ignore them. You have a very very nice car. Most importantly, as long as you like it that's all that matters.

You will also find that adding ///M parts on a non-M car is a bit no no here as well. It is look down upon very much. You probably will take some heat. ![[:)]](/images/smilies/smile.png "Smile [:)]")
Buggz,
Nice car! I am by no means a fan of "rice," but your car is very well done and very cleanly put together. Too much "tuner" flair for my taste, but hey, that's my taste, not yours. I can certainly appreciate the work and money you have put into your 3. I must say that I am in awe over the pics - I love the old airplane hanger backdrop.
1. M3 Hood. Un-needed for it has no M3 engine, made to mimic M3.
2. M3-style front/rear spoilers.
3. Cosmetic 2nd bi-pipe exhaust replica. Totally un-needed for performance but to mimic M3.
4. Glued //M3 logos all over the car.
Since the above give no performance advantage, you are rendered a ricer by definition.![[:D]](/images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin [:D]")
I wouldn't mind the changes by themselves... but when you try to mimic an M3... man thats not cool at all. Will always look down on them when I see them.
The car better be a 330ci base, else it is all for looks.![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")

Ok, I completely missed the M3 hood. The front bumper is similar to an M3 bumper, but it isn't an M3 bumper. The rear spoiler isn't close to being an M3 spoiler. Plus, when is someone not allowed to put a lip spoiler on their BMW? I'd like to put a 325is lip spoiler on my 325e - will that make me a ricer? Well crap - my '67 Camaro didn't originally come with the lip spoiler on the trunk, so it must be a ricer too since it now has one. Please. I'm sorry, but I still don't see a damn //M3 logo anywhere on that car, and I don't think I'm blind.
Oh no, check out that lip spoiler - my muscle car is now a ricer!!![[rofl]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_rofl.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
