Looks very nice! I don't think it's "ricey" at all.
Of course, different people have different opinions of "rice".

Did you do any sanding first or you just painted them right away?

definitely did some sanding. 320 and then 600 grit on all three parts. the key is to do tons of light coats when using canned spray paint. i also added quite a few coats of clearcoat afterwards.

That's nice, not rice. Now, if K3mp did it in some garish red color, it would be rice

I thought this was another thread about wings!

Looks good. That's good looking since you didn't go over-board on the colors

Dude you have an S4, whatever you do will never qualify as being "rice"

I refuse to believe it. That's a rebadged Honda. Didn't you hear about the Honda Civic that was converted to a BMW 5-series? In and out it was identical; the engine was still a Honda though.

Definitely not rice.
It's actually, well, pretty. Not that the 2.7T isn't pretty on its own, but...well...nice work!
