All painting does is make them look nice I dont think there trying to pass them off as high dollar parts they just dont want them to be that ugly brown/black color

Ricer's are people that drive like dodge neons and cavaliers and stuff. the cars you dont usually see with mufflers on it and a bunch of crap from autozone or pepboys. But on the other hand people that drive like 240sx and integra's usually dont just put a muffler on. they custom do there exhaust to gain extra power.

rice = good /w chicken and vegi's. the term was first applied to cars by big american gearhead rednecks who wanted to put down jap cars, or 'riceburners' as they were originally dubbed. why 'Rice'? because the cars are coming from japan and almost all jap food is served /w rice. not too funny, huh? cant say any (dodge, chevy) domestic is 'rice' in that respect. anyway, i find the term pointless and misapplied.
if its your thing to make a car fast, go for it. some may say its 'rice'. *** em
if its your thing to make a car turn heads, go for it. some may say its 'rice'. *** em
do what you want and stop worrying about being 'ricey'. and stop classifying others as such, caus its usually inaccurate anyway
just my $0.02

A person who slaps on mods that do NOTHING or VERY little for the performance of a car. Throwing a muffler on a car to make it sound/look fast is rice. Doing REAL performance mods (redoing the entire exaust on a car that came with a crappy exaust system isn't rice). Putting a huge spoiler on a car is rice (although the evo spoiler on the RA isn't bad, those huge metal deals are ridiculous, imo).

Im gonna paint my caliper's tomorrow, im gonna go with red. My friend was saying " Do them yellow, yellow will look sick..Everyone has red calipers blah blah blah. " Now this is coming from a friend that loves my car, drives it alot, but is always giving me bad advice. He told me to put a straight pipe and all this other stuff. I dont ever listen to him. But what does everyone think of yellow calipers? Can someone photoshop it to see how it looks? I cant picture it but im open to suggestions.

I hung the calipers took off the pads, masked and did a few coats. The Folia tec is really good stuff because it comes with a hardining resen that you mix with the paint. I have heard it will last the lifetime of your car.
