Noticed something when people spoke up about an idea I had for putting
colored bulbs in the citylight sockets on my H-4's  

Some people considered it "Riced" and others were just concerned about
legality/safety.

Now thinking about the term "Ricer"....

Putting unusual lights or accessories is something thats done in the hot
rodding world all the time.  I think the line is whats tasteful vs
outrageous.  Then again, thats all in the eye of the beholder.  Now would be
putting a Tresser body kit on a 5k be considered riced?  How about all those
nice powder coated parts some of us have in our engine bays?  The fancy
wheels from O.Z. or Ronal?  Yes people do some really silly things to cars
and it seems that the Japanese market cars are in the majority of these, but
then again, those guys also love their cars just as much as we love ours.
