Why do all the body kits look so rice? Geez. Does anyone have that smooth looking front end that someone photoshopped like 5 months ago? It was a silver car in a showroom or something.

it really gets me hot and bothered every time something that is different from the original is branded "rice" please explain to me how is that rice? maybe the wing is a little extreme but overall hte body kit is very nice...yes you can call it ugly cause that is your opinion...but what determines if that is rice not not? for any body kit for that case....

While I don't favor this kit, I do like some of the elements put into it: bringing down the nose, and flattening it out at the bottom. It is meant to be styling, in a racing sort of way.

I think its all the cheesy lower airdams and huge front lip that make it look rediculous. I agree that the sides and rear are not too bad. The air filter hole is a good idea.. I think. What happens if you are doing 70mph in semi heavy rain? The filter is only a foot or so straight back from there and I dont see how water wouldnt get inside. Am I missing something?

I like it. They probably brand it rice because they don't actually know that these guys build functional aero peices for race cars . I think the kit looks clean and tight. My one dislike on this kit is the square splitter in the front. I realize it's a huge help in aerodynamics (used on nearly every car competing in ALMS and Grand Am racing, damn ricers are getting everywhere) but I've just never liked what it does for a road car.

I think it looks pretty good. I don't think I would put the wing on my car, but maybe I would see if the NISMO wing would work with it.... cause, I don't think a kit like that would work without some sort of wing.

why do they keep doing that?
Looks like a bastardised version of Stillen kit, which is not all that great to start with, IMHO. I think a good kit should complement the car design, not make a complete new animal out of it. Another reason why I'm not a big fan of VeilSide designs (with few exceptions).

Actually, Im just kidding, I just wanted to use that smilie. The kits OK, but I think its a bit out of place, and the wing really does not belong on a street car. When You put this on a street car, particularly one without any other mods, including factory 17" rims, then that would classify "ricey." I would use this kit where it belongs....a trailored FI track vehicle...

How Fast?
How fast do you have to be going for the mods to be beneficial? Is this kit for the street? Is this car supposed to look better than stock?
I guess I am out of step with the world, but I do not like the erector set looking wings.

Geeez another one of those...They make the 350Z look so unappealing, + the front spoiler is sticking out to much..I think the stock looks good enough for me maybe just add a Nismo wing spoiler and it will do justice.
