No, I do not find it 'riced'. It looks OK but those silver highlights on the front corner lamps seem to throw off the nice blacked-out look of the front end. It looks mismatched with the headlights. Aside from that, you've got a nice lookin' ride that does not look like it is trying hard to impress.

Riced? No, I agree with previous poster about headlights though. I would get rid of orange side markers and black out silver trim around windows. Some silver tips would look nice on the exhaust as well. I also think some silver rims would look nice but probably need some lower profile tires and bigger rims for it to really look nice but I know that can get costly. Other than that, if you like it, then enjoy.

IMHO It is pretty tough to make a brown car look riced!

I think it looks fine, though the flat black on the wheels looks a bit old and dull.

I'll post some pics when I get off work, I changed the silver edges on my lights and redid my wheels with some nicer black and a little shine.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the improvements.

Sorry it took so long, been busy. This is the only pic I have right now. I blacked out my side turn signals too.

IMHO, that looks better! It now looks like it is wearing a black mask!

Larger, nicer, wheels would help. More style as well. I would get at least 18".
