For the record, there are cars on this site (active users, I will not mention any names) that I would classify as ricer-esque, tasteless, or just plain tacky, before this car would ever receive that branding from me.

While I really don't have anything against the wing itself, I think it just ruins the lines/flow of your car in particular. The height of it just seems very out of place. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

If you're suggesting that I'd make fun of an import with that spoiler, I might. I might make fun of a Camaro with that spoiler too. Or any other car. Depends on the car itself and how it's pulled off. And frankly, I don't think this instance looks too terribly bad. Now, put this same wing on a rusted out 91 Accord sedan with a gigantic fart can, and you may hear me sing a different tune... a tune of "Oh good god, someone give him a vasectomy before he breeds more idiots".

What it all boils down to is everyone is entitled to thier own opinion. That is why most people post on these PUBLIC forums. If he thinks it is rice, he can call it rice if he feels like it. That is the cool thing about personal opinion...it doesn't matter what other people think.

The fine line between ricer and non-ricer is taste. Torquedog said exactly what I would.
Take a huge aluminum wing and put in a honda, or a camaro, id make fun of it. Take a wing that actually flows with the car, and it wont look so bad. Its all about style, and what flows with the body of the car. if it looks way out of place then it looks like ****. This metal attitude of 'kids doing anything to stand out'.. seems to me like youre saying 'if your car isnt stock, it doesnt look good'.
Coming from a biased person who grew up in the 70s, and 80s, you would like more stock looking cars since thats what mostly existed then... I have an open mind to most cars, and people that try to make somthing look good... It could turn out, and it could not, then you try again. But then again it all comes down to personal preference, and what you like.. Which basically leads to what getner said.
