is this car rice?

first off... race cars dont necessarily have to have names of car companies displayed on the car.... its about being sponsored and having stuff paided for partially.... do you know how much it is to maintain a stock car racer?!? im sure if you were in their spot then you would understand...... its about publicity and not just for show...
having other stuff tho on a "show car" is a different story of course.....

the accord i do agree looks kinda wierd but if you notice that car is used for track racing... so i guess it has somewhat of a functionality?!?... i dunno... but thats why it looks like that... wing is different tho....

the civic with the M3 mirrors is more just aesthetics than anything.. but still looks better than stock and it will for sure win points from the judges...

the cotton is not for smoke effects.. its to show the MAIN parts of the engine that should stand out to the judges... remember its all about points here... originality is a very big key.. but of course not originality in the context of nastyness......

lets all be quite frank here... everyone has different tastes when it comes to cars but bottom line is.... for SHOW CARS.. its about being original and doing something that someone else hasnt done... IE.. headlight conversions, tail conversion, interior conversions, door conversions, cropping tops.... you kinda get the picture. but i do have to say some modifications that people have attemped are really bad.. but most of them are reall sweet... just remember its about points..... STOCK LOOKING CARS with kits and rims DONT WIN AT SHOWS!!!
