Stop me from Ricing out the ol Girl 😭 🍚

Ebarron0125 | 2026-03-14 01:39 | 25 views

Title says it all, I have the robot craftsman hacker hood on order in glossy carbon weave with the matte carbon garnish inserts. But boyyyy do I want to slap a swan neck wing on that thing. Convince me to rice this car out. I mean it’s got the speed to back up the rice but I think it would look cool lol just no widebody kit yet. Not tell I have another car to daily. What yall think? Posted some pics of the wing concepts/ real life. I will be taking the car to track days to run on the road course once they open up heartland park again. Roast my taste 😤

Rice it out bro life is too short

teraflu 2026-03-14 01:54

Your money your taste, of course it’s not for everyone and definitely chases away future buyers with Fast&Furious add-ons but this is your car, do whatever you please and don’t worry about what others think.

onyxgaurd 2026-03-14 01:54

Nah DO IT!

VincentAXM 2026-03-14 01:55

you didn't upgrade the most important thing, your brake. They really overheat fast if you push your car. At least get the best brake fluid + a set of endless pad.

kodakmaroon 2026-03-14 01:57

boutta do something similar to my 2016 model x lol

Zachscycling 2026-03-14 01:57

Ngl I’ve been tempted to do the same with my M3P but at the end of the day it’s just a Tesla. If it was an actual racecar or some exotic I’d do it no thought about it. But 4-8k for minor aesthetic enhancements is not the top of my priority list rn. That money is better saved/spent elsewhere especially in this economy. 🥲

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 01:57

That’s on the list for later in the summer. The track just got purchased last month here, and it’s run the heck down. If anything the first event they will have is in September

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 01:58

lol dude I’ve seen some widebody x that look aggressive!

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 01:59

Yeah resale value is the least of my concerns. This is my 4th car in 3.5 years and I’m forcing myself to keep it till it explodes 😂

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 01:59

That’s the motivation I need!

MechanicFrequent9745 2026-03-14 02:05

anything but that bumper please

-Gnarly 2026-03-14 02:05

You do whatever you want, end of the day it's your car. If you're going for performance, none of that shit is making a positive difference. Maybe front spoiler and side skirts are helping. Suspension work is going to make the biggest difference. If you're going for pure aesthetics, go for it. That widebody is sick tho. I wonder how it actually handles lol.

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 02:05

Yeah nah I’m keeping my bumper. Their bumper looks like a Camry

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 02:07

Spoiler , sideskirts, lip, and canards that I have do actually make a scientifically proven and tested difference with numbers surprisingly. Not sure on the big ass won’t tho lol it looks like a range killer

The_FlatBanana 2026-03-14 02:10

The wheels are good but damn, less is more sometimes. Are those real LMs?

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 02:11

Yeah they are real, none of that alibaba crap lol although seeing some videos I don’t blame people for going that way, save some money

onyxgaurd 2026-03-14 02:15

I love your current setup which is my goal just TEs would be nice but I’m a poor! Volta kit is eventually my goal for my 3…one day

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 02:18

TE’s are such a clean wheel. Man I’ve been saving up for each piece of this thing since November lol one piece a month

Xp787 2026-03-14 02:33

100% throw a wide body kit on there. I'm so sick of seeing every single Tesla look exactly the same. If I wasn't so damn cheap, I would do the same to my model 3. Most people hate putting body kits or spoilers or even lowering Tesla's. I never understood why? Anything but stock Tesla's and people lose their minds DO IT!!!

mrandr01d 2026-03-14 02:37

Looks trashy imo

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 02:38

The haters gonna hate lol yeah man gotta do something to stand out from all the other basic teslas with curb rash. Wide body kit some day for sure! Cutting into the fenders is scary tho

Lordofthereef 2026-03-14 02:45

I read the title and I was about to laugh but the pics don't look terrible. It's really not my thing to mod cars like this but I think this god just far enough without going too far. MAYBE too much on the spiked for me.

Waste_Complaint84 2026-03-14 02:48

Those wheels are fire, holy 🔥

filmagnoli 2026-03-14 02:56

Looks like it’s waaaaaaaay too late for that

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 03:00

Ouch my feelings

VincentAXM 2026-03-14 03:01

be careful with the brake fade, good thing is that they fade gradually. Bring some tyre stopping thing, put your car in neutral (car wash rolling mode) after each session so the electronic brake won't put the hot pad on the rotar. Best to do some cooling runs after each session.

tesla_dpd 2026-03-14 03:02

Please.Stop

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 03:07

Doesn’t sound very convincing

filmagnoli 2026-03-14 03:14

Yeah, sorry … do you wanna feel good, or do you want the truth? Tough love, the truth hurts … I keep telling my wife “not everyone wants to hear the truth! lol 😂” Enjoy your ride, you do you! That’s what matters 😜

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 03:22

I needed to hear this. But it still doesn’t help me not want to make it worse lol

Looks awesome and unique, and we need more of these on the streets. just try not to blast too much deep bass all the time.

ptronus31 2026-03-14 03:46

Pretty much ever dollar you spend on mods like these reduces the value of the car the amount you spent. Double bad idea(s).

SuperSayainSkincare 2026-03-14 03:59

Looks awesome and its somthing I wanted to do with my car aswell, keep us updated with more posts as you install stuff👍

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 04:10

Gonna be hard to keep the breakers audio kit sub I installed turned down lol

PaidForThis 2026-03-14 04:25

I was thinking 'no don't'. But dude, man, it would be dope af. Im super conservative with mine but its just a 23 so I have time. And have been low-key adding really small things so I need a nudge too I guess.

Necessary-Biscotti11 2026-03-14 04:39

looks good

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 04:41

Luckily It’s paid off, and I’ve already made peace with the fact that I’m never getting what I bought it for lol

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 04:41

Will do!

Complex_Arrival7968 2026-03-14 04:56

In LA we call that style “Boy Racer”.

Empty_Bread8906 2026-03-14 04:57

Do it if you have the $$$$…

FunkyTangg 2026-03-14 05:06

Please don’t get the VTEC windshield decal!

ptronus31 2026-03-14 05:11

Yeah, you aren’t getting as much as if you would have left it stock. By a lot.

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 05:12

It was meant to be enjoyed, not to save it for the next person lol

KuyaJester 2026-03-14 05:17

YES.

emptyquant 2026-03-14 05:52

Looks great but makes it much worse in all other aspects. Range must be a third lower

Imaginary_Job_5003 2026-03-14 06:12

Everyone telling you to do it while I’m here literally thinking stock looks so much nicer

MechanicFrequent9745 2026-03-14 06:37

thank you 🙏

xtrumpclimbs 2026-03-14 08:07

It’s ugly. You are not doing it useful and aesthetic ways

i would 100% do it if i wasn’t broke

SpikeyTwitch20 2026-03-14 09:02

Oh no….. now I want to as well 😬

Seansong82 2026-03-14 09:32

Bunch of enablers telling you yes, my personal opinion is that it looks horrible and gives no legitimate performance improvements.

eSUP80 2026-03-14 11:44

I think you should do the hood and call it a day man. Focus on suspension and brakes. It looks fantastic and you can make it drive and stop like a king.

Ar3Dreaming 2026-03-14 13:41

I really love the look of your red Model 3P. The wheels/tire combo and drop looked amazing. Hood and wing should be fine. Wide body takes away from the clean lines of the stock body. The front bumper of that kit looks ehh. I think you have good instincts in what makes your ride look good. Since you’re tracking soon consider SSB Designs uprights.

dumbledayum 2026-03-14 13:49

Mein Gott. I want this kind of money AND a good bodywork mechanic to do this to my car

Hefty_Bowler4096 2026-03-14 14:20

if you want a car to rice out, buy something other than a tesla, it’s way too minimalist/clean and it just clashes with the entire design ethos of the car

Lord_Vaguery 2026-03-14 15:00

Invest your money instead.

And_Im_Chien_Po 2026-03-14 15:09

what they did the with the front end looks stunning

kfar87 2026-03-14 15:14

If you actually want to track the car and improve performance, you need a big brake kit. I wouldn’t bother with the aero until you do that.

Kamukix 2026-03-14 16:04

If it makes you giggle and happy, do it. It's not hurting anyone else, and if they didn't put in $1 on paying for anything, then who cares about their opinion? (including my opinion) You've got 1 go around this merry-go-round, make it count. 👍

BernietheDog2021 2026-03-14 16:04

Oh my. That thing is downright tacky and ugly. Just saying.

Electrical_Target25 2026-03-14 16:14

Love it

RedElmo65 2026-03-14 16:18

Gross. But please rice it out. lol 😂 not for me. But I like when others do it.

RedElmo65 2026-03-14 16:20

Do it even if you don’t. The bank has alot of credit you can borrow!!! lol

Background-Virus-129 2026-03-14 16:22

Def do some upgrades but the examples you shared way over the top for me personally.

amyjone 2026-03-14 16:46

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 16:54

I’m installing sway bars today , what settings (holes lol) do you have yours at?

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 16:55

Yeah nah I only want the wing and hood from that kit. I like my stock front bumper lol https://preview.redd.it/d1ih7gwvj1pg1.jpeg?width=2711&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a04e8d1d177bab6ec1e73788d778789b3d942db

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 16:56

Doing sway bars today! Never thought about brakes since this will be the first car I ever tracked but we will see

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 16:56

Bust out the credit card

Ebarron0125 2026-03-14 16:57

The credit card is calling our name

eSUP80 2026-03-14 17:21

Enjoy! I love working on mine too. Yeah brakes will be your number one limiting factor on the track. These are heavy cars with serious power.

MrT20000 2026-03-14 17:25

Looks like a gt3 version

Top_Presentation7467 2026-03-14 19:36

It’s just flat out ugly. Hope this helps.

DocShayWPG 2026-03-14 19:36

I had a riced out 98 civic SI when I was 18 A modified 01' e46 M3 in my mid 20's And a fleet of various vehicles until I bought my 2025 M3 new, that will remain bone stock. As much fun and "cool" it was to have a tricked out car back then - I'd love to have what I spent on that + interest in my investment account now at 38. But hey, YOLO. Do what makes you happy.

Ar3Dreaming 2026-03-14 19:48

word-dragon 2026-03-15 05:06

I really hate the look of the huge air foils - they just look out of place on a Kia or a Tesla. But it’s your ride, your money, so whatever floats your boat!

UpperFerret 2026-03-15 05:18

No one gives a s*** what your car looks like. So unless you have a hobby of doing cosmetic mods to cars and go to car shows then you should save your money

beargrieves 2026-03-15 06:09

it’s not supposed to give legitimate performance improvements, that’s why it’s called ricing

JuiceAdditional23 2026-03-15 07:23

It's kind of flimsy when installing, but the wing looks stable when driving - even at highway speeds

mongolian_horsecock 2026-03-15 15:16

I wonder how much range you would lose from the spoiler

Anon424977 2026-03-15 15:57

Except it’s not a ricer kit. This is one of the legit kits out there. If you know what you’re doing this build would look good.

Gamerxx13 2026-03-15 16:06

someone in my neighborhood did this and i roll my eyes.

Nasarescue 2026-03-15 16:06

No!! Please don’t! It’s a Tesla not a toy. And just bad taste.

Ancient-Sandwich9400 2026-03-15 16:08

Lol, no need to convince you….you’ve already started with the wheels!

matthewralston 2026-03-15 16:56

Pour on some curry sauce, a few poppadoms and a side of mango sauce while you're at it.
