    I don't see much blue on the welds, only (part of) the mufflers and the entire tip.

    It seems the blue is purely for looks.

All of the small touches of personalization are "rice" because they make your car different than others on the road and don't blend in with all of the other boring ones out there.
    Right?

    This is a hypothetical and non-personal discussion. I chose BBS not because of your sig but for the fact that they are quite well liked and the consensus here on R3v.

    And an e30 wearing Japanese made BBS rims would also be "rice/riced up"?

    Rado is a ricer, but he's made one hell of a living out of it. I wish I were as ricer as he is, then I'd be racing cars and building cars all the time instead of sitting in my office, checking these dorky forums. :0)

    "Riced out", not rice, itself.

    So this is rice because it has "asian" parts?
