It is indeed "Rice". You don't need to match several items together 
to rice-out a car. One or two of the most obvious will infact do it.

This 'Vette has a nasty paint job, a raped front clip from a nasty 
body kit, and perhaps one of the most useless, ugleiest, and non-
functioning engine intakes known to mankind. What you also don't see 
is on the driver's side, the intake scoops curve FORWARD. It's really 
goofy when looking at the car from an opposite angle. How in the hell 
can the driver possibly see out the front window of that thing 
anyways? And how is it attached? It looks as though it would crack 
the fiberglass at highspeeds. And the only reason I'm not going to 
ding the car for that rear spoiler, is because it actually is RWD.

I don't like Corvettes myself. But, damn. No car should be ruined 
like that. That's almost as bad as setting the thing on fire.

And yes, I hate "Art Cars" too.
