What are body kits? Are they a necessity and the epitome of riceness? As a matter of fact, maybe they are, as some people really eager to put on just about any body kit that doesn’t even match their cars’ curves, such as these:

Not only that it’s gay, it wears the ultimate skirt of an automobile cross-dresser.

If you’re a hardcore Star Wars fan and looking for a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser for your daily ride, look no further.

Just like the Incredible Hulk, its lips are apparently bigger than it can contain. And oh yeah, Marsupilami is definitely a must-have.

This Avanza is as if a clean moulding-less doors are not possible.

This may look normal, but do pay attention where the fenders doesn’t seem to follow the same line as the bumpers, and yes, that’s one literally big-ass Corolla.

Back in the late 90’s, where we are stumbled upon the release of Microsoft Windows 95 and 98, along with their Microsoft Office counterparts, does any of you remembered how many times we used those built-in cliparts as our arsenal? Well, it’s probably a good thing that you don’t, because some guys still use them even until now:

Those corner cliparts are just so priceless… And in regards to that Harley Davidson sticker, well, a one piece sticker is just so yesterday.

Now, as the second post, we’ll go over the hideous and ugly stuff from this year’s IIMS. Starting with this:

The Foton. Yes, it is yet another Chinese brand. It looks like the Mitsubishi Colt but slightly abnormal, it’s highly chromed, and it is named after Starfleet’s weaponry.

Not that we mind with this mild modification, but…

Do you think this is necessary? The hood is not gonna fly anytime soon, you know…

This is sad, sad Honda Jazz. Why, you say? Simple. Because it’s not a Lamborghini.

And if you think that’s already bad, this one is even worse. Why?

Because it’s so called hydraulic or pneumatic or whatever they use in there, doesn’t really let you to step on the gas pedal. Riceboy’s aesthetics 101… Looks first, think later.

And to sum it all, Honda has this all eco-friendly theme going on, and guess what kind of plant they used to promote it…

Yes… Of all plants, they used weed.

In any car show, there must be at least one poser that thinks he owned a real deal race car. Well, guess who made this…

Straight on, brother! None other than the dude himself. How ya doin’, mate? What version is your car now at?

And to add the ugliness at its best, the interior is covered with snake skin. Oh, dear Lord…

I don’t care if this is just a show car, it is sure ugly as hell. What is with these guys and chrome stickers?

Venom is probably the epitome of car entertainment dumbness. They’re probably the only retards to use a fake Hummer to promote their products.

As for this rim… Well, if you can’t get the real deal, you can always buy the fake one. After all, “Apapun mobilnya, velgnya kan harus Fabulous…”

This is the latest innovation in Daihatsu Astra’s R&D, the racing-styled Daihatsu Xenia…

That comes with a fully functional external brochure holder.

Now, if you ever wondered how riceboys got their stupid inspirations from, we have a set of pictures to explain them all. Starting with this one:

This, is called “Cool Design”, a design by Gaut Widjanarko, a Product Design student from ITS Surabaya. Let me cite his explanation for you.

“Desain innova sudah bagus, sehingga desain yang saya buat hanyalah menciptakan kesan, citarasa baru untuk innova. KONSEP DASARNYA ADALAH MENYAMARKAN GARIS LENGKUNG, SUDUT ROUNDED DENGAN MENAMBAHKAN LEBIH BANYAK GARIS LURUS, TEGAS, DAN BEBERAPA SUDUT TAJAM.

And hence… He created the next generation Dadones. Here’s another one:

A new inspirational design for you who really really, and I mean REALLY love ALTOs…

Or that blasted Livina X-Gear, but doesn’t really want to shell out more money to buy it…

But when it goes to the Anak Selatan club… Behold…

The inspirations for the elegant Innova. Yeah, yeah, sure…

I bet everybody is waiting for this one, but unlike two years ago - yes we missed the last year’s IIMS - we’re going to treat this one as a two part entry, so people could give their comments out. So, let’s start out with the things we like from this year’s IIMS.

We always liked big cars like Alphards, Elgrands, or Elysions (except that Hyundai H1), and the latest Alphard is no exception. But we do have doubts with the new Vellfire, though. I think it’s a bit unnecessary.

We also liked how the new Fortuner facelift turned out. Now it is more in-tune with the rest of the Toyota SUV line-up.

Here’s a look on its new rear side.

This is the latest Audi A4, you know, the ones with those sexy new headlights. And there’s another subtle-but-cool feature about this car.

It’s the hubcap. This is what you call a truly functional German design. It gives aesthetics, and protects the bolts at the same time. Oh I’m sorry, I don’t believe riceboys have met with the term “functional” yet.

The Nissan Latio concept car. Sorry Nissan fans, but we like the concept much better than the production model.

The Toyota FT-HS. I’m not sure what the production model would look like, but this will suffice for the moment.

This is the second Suzuki Kizashi concept car, if I’m not mistaken. A bit radical, but more subtle compared to what Mazda has to offer with its concept cars recently. The Kizashi is a good combination between the future and elegance.

The Ford Verve probably will carry the design cues for the next generation of Ford cars.

This is what Rifat Sungkar drives nowadays on the rally track. And yes, it’s way cooler than B 1152 DP.

We also got some pictures of what the next generation trucks would probably look like, such as this Hino:

And this Mitsubishi Fuso:

And finally, look who actually participates in the event…

Congratulations, Tongki!

Let me get this straight. Ajax Amsterdam never, in their entire establishment, created the Suzuki Swift.

And if that’s not enough, CEJN, also in their entire establishment, have never created any aftermarket parts for automobiles. They do manufacture automobile servicing tools, but not aftermarket parts.

And even if this is a company-issued car, it’s still a riced car, and the white rooftop is just dumb.

Facts:
Suzuki Swift, B 1734 XU, DIS parking area, BSD City.

If you think that riceboys don’t have that extra attention to details, you’re definitely wrong, and we have a solid proof on that. Take the guy who owns the above Daihatsu Xenia. First, he painted some part of his front bumper to, you know, give that extra aggressive look to the car, just like the new Peugeot cars or the Volkswagen GTI.

Second, he managed to put aftermarket parts stickers all over the bottom edge of his car. Although I don’t see any OZ Racing, Tanabe, Brembo, or Spoon products anywhere, but no matter, because he even installed that bright white arrow that says “Look! The parts are along this line!”.

Third, he smoked the hell out of his taillights, along with another two bright white arrow icons on the bumper that says “Look! Smoked taillights above!”. And best of all, yes, this is the world’s only Harley Davidson Edition Daihatsu Xenia.

See? I told you that riceboys are detail maniacs!

Facts:
Daihatsu Xenia, H 8930 VY, JCC parking area.

Seriously, but I may have lost the touch to find a more suitable title for this post, but I don’t see why I can’t describe this Toyota Yaris as hideously gay. For the past few months, we often crave for finding a riced-up car that may properly fit the saying “More than Meets the Eye”. Now we cured our crave, for this Yaris is probably well-suited for the next Ultraman monster candidate.

And oh, if you do find a complete picture of the car above, please have it sent to us. Let’s make sure the money-wasting modifications paid off.

Facts:
Toyota Yaris, E 7 A, Cilandak TownSquare.

When we showed you those pictures, you might want to think that this is an advertising board for some cheap ass custom hubcap maker out of nowhere. And believe me, that’s what we thought when dos sent these out to us.

But you see, we were wrong. And some goofballs just love to sacrifice their innocent cars for something stupid. But bottom line, does it work? Oh hell yes. Is it aesthetically correct? Oh… Hell no. On the other hand, if you are looking for a cheesy chromed or gold plated custom hubcaps for your fake rims, by all means, call the guy.

Facts:
Suzuki Karimun, B 8842 JO, JCC parking area.

At a glance, maybe we would turn our heads and say “It is a nice car, and nicely done as well”.

But unlike what this bozo thought, I’m more than sure that Toyota has a pretty good reason on placing an ACTUAL license plate holder on the back of their cars. But this bozo thought, “You know, having a shave door is better. I’m gonna place my license plate on the left!” Right. You know, when you did that, you might want to move the keyhole as well. Because right now, it looks like a mole rather than a keyhole. That’s why you should KEEP YOUR LICENSE PLATE HOLDERS THE FUCK WHERE THEY ARE!

Facts:
Toyota Avanza, BK 1422 GM, somewhere in Medan.

I don’t know what this is, but it’s surely ain’t a Kijang. What do you think guys? My lucky guess is a Daihatsu Zebra.

Facts:
Unknown car, B 2794 CY, Pasar Cimanggis, Ciputat.
