That depends.

Is it a purpose-built race car, with the stickers there because they are sponsoring the car, and with the speed to back up its look? Are the vents, openings, wing, and other body kit items functional and necessary to produce the results that the car produces?

Or, is it mostly a stock under the hood, bought from a showroom, driven on the street, with fake stuff plastered all over it and holes cut for stuff that doesn't do anything/isn't hooked up?

That is the difference between a racer and a ricer.

Ricer would do, though abomination would be more appropriate.

Especially fake carbon fiber ones.
