So he put stickers on it. The vertical doors are okay, but a little out of place on a Mustang IMHO. I don't understand why people on this site get so riled up about imports or appearance modifications.

I remember when "ricer" was a term used for an import economy car driver that put a K&N filter on their car, a bunch of wild exterior parts and THOUGHT their car was fast.

Slowly but surely the domestic high performance crowd started using the term "rice" and "ricer" more and more loosely until a Mustang with an aftermarket gauge bezel was referred to as "ricey" on this very site.

Get a grip. Ladder bars and jacked up rear ends were once in style too, but I'd bet the vast majority of us would declare them ridiculous today. Most of the old muscle cars came with optional or standard spoilers, and in the late 70s the Mustang and Firebirds featured giant stickers and appearance packages that offered no additional performance. It's a fad, and one that will likely pass by in the next few years.
