Default How to build a ricer.

I guess some people actually need instructions on how to build a Ricer (I thought they just bought random stupid crap?), Motor Trend has published a Ricer "How To" article.

Excerpts:
.... For a relatively small chunk of change - say $300, $500 or $1,000 - you can pull out enough tricks to catch the attention of the next hottie you pass.

• Neon underglow: You can get these from just about any custom auto store, and they're fairly cheap. But remember that you can only have these on when you're NOT driving; otherwise, you risk a $142 ticket. ($100-$200).
• European-style taillights or headlights: These have sort of a space-age feel, with white, black and red, as opposed to a solid color, and often have multiple red circles. ($150-$250)
• Spoilers: They look good, and they'll improve handling by keeping your wheels on the ground. ($200 and up)
• Intake system: If you care more about flash than function, this is a good choice in this price range.
• Nitrous kit: This causes more aggressive combustion, which makes your car go a lot faster.
• Ground effects: They won't make your car run better, but they will lower the body of your car, putting you closer to the road. ($800 and up)

If you really need to read the whole article:
