With JC Whitney, you have to know what you are looking at. Most of it is crap. I have had good luck with their carpet kits in the past though.

WRT Mexican's and rice, I was having that same thought about a week ago. I almost made a post about it. Rice doesn't seem to be a racial thing, I think it's more of an economic one. People with lots of money are able to mod their cars tastefully, and do cool projects like turbos and full race suspensions. People without a lot of money, have fewer options to differentiate their vehicles from others. Therefore they end up with things like body kits, neon, and stereo systems. In the end though, it all comes down to the ego, and people not wanting to drive a car that is too similar to everyone else's car.
