That's not riced out.  Why do ppl use that term when they don't
understand?  Riced out is mongo muffler tips, wacked out of size spoilers,
foglights like in every front end.  So you're calling all the racing cars
BTCC, German Touring cars, with stickers riced out too?

	terminology.  you like german cars, right?  i thought
	so.  anyway.  lots of people would consider the term
	"riced out" to be racist.  asian cars, asians driving
	them.  certainly many asians (some on this list, hi!)
	use the term.  i'm not calling anyone a racist, just
	relaying what i know about the term.

	in following the same logic, i suppose the german cars
	you mention with their own style of creative visual 
	and performance enhancements and customization could
	be termed "kraut karts" or something.  see?
