That's right. Although I am not here from CG beginnings but when I compare some first posted mods to few new ones, theres a big difference.

Nah, don't say that...we still have many quality releases, check Wired's, KG's, Threep's or XSB's work, for example....they're all good I don't see so many riced up cars on the database...I agree that recently many people are releasing some drift-style cars (that I'll never download because, well, have ya ever seen drift cars roaming around a town?), but from that to calling CG a blog of ricers...

"a car" ? there are like 3-4 released ricers here Kots Chop Shop saw that and thought that a "Drifter Cars Competition" would be a hit with members nowadays since they seem to be popular.
and I didn't count Wired, Threep and KG's releases cuz they've spread it on our brother sites too, not only here. Threep's super cars are pretty riced themselves tho, u can't tell me a stock Vanquish has those rims on it... it's riced xD anyway I meant more like what's concentrated and specific to us, Carbs our exclusive work is what? 2 months old charger from XSB? bring back the rhythm we used to have, that's all I'm saying put GTA IV away or delete it or somethin and do more SA mods

a) you have no idea what "ricing" is really meaning. Learn it. A rim can never be in any matter part of ricing or not, since a rim always has a function. At least holding the tire.
b) a RIM is a customisation often found IRL, just because of easyness, and a fast change of look and feel of a car. You will find tons of Vanquish's with different wheels. And no, I did never ever mention I would make a stock car. Why should I?
c) it is again you who talks about ricing and still has no clue about what ricing is and means, and takes this word too fast and too often as an excuse to just be a virtual [somewhat]. Hell, he would even say a formula 1 car is "riced" because of all that spoilers. Go cutting, Emo.
Back to topic: Well, I don't think this are too many drift or blog modders to change the complete look or promotion of CarbonGear. And since Alexe started this question, who showed again he has no clue about anything but whining and creating issues which aren't just there.. no. There are not even enough Sushi Mods to start thinking about: are there too many or not.

I see where you're coming from, [OM] But I don't mean ricing like "bad taste tuning" or "lack of practicality in tuning" of a car
I mean modified cars, regardless of the tuned features of it, non-stock cars, particularly those with a flashy, in-your-face and outta-this-world halo to them. cars modified in a manner that may be attractive to some but might be horribly awful to look at by others. you can get that, right?
Anyway ricing is an interpretable term, you can't tell me you have the perfect most concrete definition of it because it varies on context and point of view.
now I admit, that Honda is pretty sweet, but it's still a ricer, right?
I'm not saying tuning is bad, I'm not saying you're bad modders or whatever, but you took away our choice here, you see? for example JGEM and REPO and SPY3D (just to name a few) did awesome stock vehicles CUSTOMIZABLE in tuning shops! Y'all act like you forgot SA got tuning shops, man, for real! The best mods are those which fill in all features of the game (and after achieving that trying to approach new ones, like CLEO) and which give you possibility of choice, variety, don't you agree? I'm not telling you how to mod, since I don't, but I'm saying "bring back some variety!"
Threep, you're saying stock cars have different wheels in real life in defense of your Vanquish (not that I accused it of anything, I just said that it's the closest thing to stock that you did till some point, tho that Evo is pretty flawless as I look at it... wtv) I agree stock cars can have different wheels, but there's a difference between various stock wheel choices (because the producer companies want to give their buyers variety and possibility of choice, you see?) and tuning wheels. Tuning wheels are bold, exaggerated, emphasized, flashy, shocking, in case I needed to point that out, and the Vanquish rims are ricers on whatever chassis you put'em to. No offense, they might look good for some people, I respect different tastes and opinions, but respect the fact that they're everything I said just before - bold, exag., emph., flashy, shocking and lord knows what else...
You then say the Vanquish was never meant to be stock... alright, what's the point of saying that Vanquishes have different wheels in real life as stock and then claiming yours isn't stock anyway? seemed just to be in contradiction there but anyway...
you say rims have a function... so do spoilers, sideskirts, bumpers, scoops, rollcages, nos systems, audio systems... so what? wrong parts can make a car look horrible regardless of their purpose.
to a less pleasant part, now: "Go cutting, emo" !?!! that's out.of.line especially from a "Tokyo Hotel" neo-nazi brat like you... haha just playin, man< I don't see you that way I just wanted to point out that I can go outta line too, you know? and it wouldn't be pretty... ask Kel So don't start something you can't handle, Kotton should've taught you that much. Or at least Socrates... or common sense. Take note I didn't sanction you according to the forum's rules, there's no ill will, right?
I don't wanna start drama, seriously I have no time for this right now so don't waste the few moments I allocate to this forum on senseless bullshit. And I didn't bitch about anything either. I pulled an alarm signal to warn people here of the direction this site is heading to. Public Service Announcement, baby, get with it! And this is confirmed by all the people who agree with what I said (in all or partially, doesn't matter, they see it too).
I START SHIT when shit needs to be started, kna'm'saying? It is my duty, and I wouldn't be a man if I didn't stand up against shit none of us wants to experience, like one of our fav. communities being turned into a Rice club. Because that's a situation nobody wants to see.
I saw it, homie, I saw it and called it out, that's all there mothafuckin is to it. Once you step out of line you force me to write long speeches like this and that's a waste of time, kna'mean? the fact remains I saw it and called it out. Now EZE, Sharan, Varinder and XSB will deal with the matter as they see fit and I'm here to help out if solicited.
DON'T MOVE THIS TO "CG COURT OF LAW" since no actual conflict took place here. Just explaining the misunderstandings, alright?

I'm not gonna say anything about ricing cuz both views have a good tho I like some tuned cars and some not and about tuning it's because many ppl learned to convert and now everybody make a car for HIMSELF not for others and the about ppl witch are releasing their cars I agree with them cuz whats the point showing your car with pics but not putting a d/l link
as long they don't put any stealed parts on it I don't have anything with their "riced" car

Believe me, I can handle much more shit you can imagine. First: there are common terms like ricing which HAVE a common meaning - in this case ricing: adding tuning parts which just alter the optical things on cars, to make them look more efficient.
Simple as that. A aftermarket spoiler on any supra, just to make it look sporty, is ricing. A aftermarket spoiler on a drift supra, special made in various angles and a mathematic computed downlift to increase weight on the rear axis (grip, Venturi effect, google that.) is NOT ricing since it has a function. If you like it or not, it is defined, and it is easy to measure cars with that definition.
Second: YOU said a stock Vanquish could have such rims. Not me, I just said stock Vanquish CAN have. And since mine ain't stock, any comparance is obsolete. And btw, you trapped yourself, my rims ARE nearly stock. Just a bit rotated spikes. So no, it ain't any riced bling bling rims.
Third: you really compare insulting someone calling a war criminal mass murder with a harmless go cutting Emo?
Well Alexe, since you are unwilling to move any millimeter from your frozen position, unwilling to learn and use common terms, and unwilling to accept things which are simply different from your point of view and start arguing on a very very low level, I am out here. Just to make things clear: think like you wanna think, thats your right, I dont wanna proselytize you in any way. But I hope you can live with the fact some people just won't take you at face value.

@Urko: yeah man, Flinta right... what do I know? xD @SDrifter: keep doing it, man, keep at it, we're all we got
@ Threep: you have some valid points there. we can't really measure another's capacity of imagination, tho, right?
first: you have your interpretation of ricing, I have mine and others have others, that's just the way it goes. paintjobs are always "just for show" but nobody's calling them riced... so wtv
second: you got me confused there, using "can" in contradiction with itself... but the rim is very far from the stock in my opinion - black on chrome layout, very large holes between the spikes, very thin spikes, very visible brake disk, very spacious interior ring... it's quite ostentatious, not too bad to look at, but not common either and to some may seem extreme. but that's also a matter of personal taste
third: I didn't call you Hitler, if that's what you're aiming at. there are tons of neo-nazi vegetarians in the world who wouldn't hurt a fly... well, maybe a fly but not a mammal in any case but I didn't call you that either, I was just hinting at your nationality which has nothing to do with who you are so wtv. telling someone to mutilate himself is not as innocent as a puppy-eyed Emo kid would seem. on the other hand telling one to go "go home and go " is so much worse, but I don't wanna direct anything at you so put that shit behind. feel free not to take me at face value. the better ya know me the less conflict of opinion

Subject: Re: CarbonGear a blog of ricers ?!? Fri Feb 13, 2009 2:44 am
Hi guy's, i'm just reading this topic very slowly so that i don't miss a thing. First i thougt that "ricing" was: taking a stock dff and f#ck it up with spoilers/bumpers/hoods etc. from other cars and release it under your own name.
Now i'm reading that ricing is: create/ripp a stock car from a game,but put one or more parts that aren't original from the factory and release it.
First i was affraid , that with my drifting pj's i could be guilty at ricing ( after reading this topic)
i guess there are several points to be looked at. first point : sharanT2 released two cars from tokio drift. Are they riced?? well they aren't stock,so yes? I don't know if that's the case.... i like tuned cars.And they look very good and not overdone in any way.
but on the other hand, point two: i see a subaru Grip D1, but i look at the topic, and that's it....... once and no more ( no offence steve, i don't like it) I see a mazda rx7, a nissan silvia s15 ( again a s15?) i look once and that's it. it is a forum, every car has his own topic, don't like the car, don't look at the topic anymore.
If this were a blogsite? yeah, i would be gone, because then you have to see every car again to get to the one you like. But it is not a blog.CarbonGear is a Forum combined with a part of release pages
One other thing, You are called carbon gear, and not "GtaCars, Stock from factory". You're also not called GtaInside, Gwm, GtaAction, Gtapro. To be honest, is see Carbongear in the line with Ascendence,Kottonchopshop,and a few more. You're elite.So there is some sh!t released here. Is it all sh!t? Nope When your Stuff comes up @ GWm or GtaInside? people hit the download before reading all the stuff.
That's the reason i joined carbon Gear Forum.
And a suggestion from my side: create 3 cars pages 1. stock cars with or without tuningparts 2. Street legal tuned cars 3. racing and drift cars and others
But hey!! i'm not an owner or an admin. I just don't wanna see carbon gear slowly die... I normaly went always to GWM, but lately i had to upload a paintjob pack 6 times before it showed in the release, and they weren't bad . i'm talking about the BMW m3 e92 pack, 1198 hits on gwm and 2274 hits on GTAinside But 6x fileupload before showing in the release?On GWM?? WTF. So i went here. So please do not become a strange site like GWM....
