Kinda like Painting your hood liner, swapping out to two tone leather shift and ebrake boots, clear corner signal lenses, license plate grills, fancy chrome louvers on the tail lights.... the list is endless...

Don't let these guys rag on ya. It's your car, do what YOU like.

I thought Rice was adding unneeded gauges, weird body components, neon, and overkill sizes of rims, not......different rims O_O.

Am I missing something? :P

Oh don't worry Chemdawg, Im not trying to point out how wrong that was, but to each man his own opinion, right?

pce.

The C5 Z06 would be a good choice.
