chicken fried rice is super. anyway are we trying to make a ricer thats good looking(lol) or just a maxed out rice job, because i could see some cars turning out like the "ugly" cars in the showroom if u know what i mean, and thats just yuk. so are we to maintain some tastefullness?

nice. another oldie. but there's a mistake in the rules...
Again, if you're running a stock hood, you gotta stick at least on decal on there too!
there are no hood decals in UG2 like they were in UG1. i'd just like to point that out...

correct the rules are almost all a direct copy of the NFS U1 rules... and I have to say I did remove it... but there was a error in the time script so I had to make a new set of rules so forgot to change that...

so yes most is from the original rules... and some are new or have changed.

why change a good concept :wink:

I don't get one thing... if I make a good looking car with neons, bright colors, big audio, is that RICE? It's a bit silly to make a car that everyone will laugh at.

I mean, cars here are bad... I'll go see cars in the U1 challenge

Rule quote: "So people, I think you get the idea. This is a car you're gonna to laugh and point at in the street. It's gonna make you cringe to even think about it later!! Of course, remember that you're in it to win it, and people will vote on how it looks, so the best looking car will win!!"

Uhm...so which is it? A ridiculous looking car (to laugh at) or best looking car (vote on how it looks)? I doubt I can do both at the same time...

Personally, I've tried to make a good-looking car, but using all non-stock parts. I think it looks OK, but I guess it is still "rice rice, baby" to paraphrase Vanilla (R)Ice, 1980's/90's UK rapper. I guess the Admins will advise accordingly once they have examined the ride...

I'll give you a hint:
GREEN PEARLESCENT PAINT!!! 8)
I choosed that paint, and stuff just kept on coming.
What troubles me is --> I wouldn't LAUGH at the car, it is way bling bling, but it looks nice :?

As a ricer, I dunno whether I should laugh or cry... Just because you're making a rice car does NOT mean it has to be a car that looks bad. Keep the performance down, and focus on the exterior. That's ricing (or styling). And make it look good if you want to win... :)

I changed a small thing in the rules,

I forgot you could ofcourse add nitrous purge... (a dummy nitrous ofcours... we don't want to make it a fast car :P

and a other thing...... not a rule but a hint.....

show that your car is slooooooooooooooow.....

for instance make a list of max speed... power 0-60(100)
etc... to show you are a real! RICER... and you still don't know what speed is...

and showing that your car can do 0=60 MPH in 2.5 seconds does not qualify you as a RICER... even if you spray your car with loads of scoops neons etc.... it makes you a racer with a discusting taste :P

....
and don't forget the Photoshop rules are more strickt!

nope not directly.. it didn't say YOU have to put every bodypart on it... but you have to max it out... like a ricer should :wink:

but A good non functioning roofscoop is advised

Hmm, I did another Ricer trick, without realising: I put a Nitro manufacturer's decal on my ride when it has no nitrous :D

I guess I am just a Ricer at heart... :P
