I would consider it, but I've had bad experiences with emblems on cars...

Can you ever put too many "Z's" on your Z?

The couple of "Nissans" are nice IMHO.

To put a Z emblem on a Z is not rice. Personally, however, I think there are enough Z's on the car already. There are 10, including the trunk mat, and that is enough.

I think we are using the term "rice" incorrectly. I really like the definition at http://www.riceboypage.com/ . Rice is more about pretending to have performance when you dont.

Now, BLING on the other hand, is used to denote a flashy style (and BLING made it into the Oxford English Dictionary, so its an official world ) These emblems may be bling, not rice.

Ahhhh, the subtleties of the english language....

Rice doesn't simply mean having decals on your car or aftermarket emblems.
You'll find a lot of cars at the tracks have decals and aftermarket emblems,
but I don't consider that rice at all. No prob putting decals or emblems on a
car if you got the relevant performance mod to back it up IMO. Just a matter
of personal taste. If you like it, add it. You are the one driving it so who cares.

Some might consider decals (when marking an actual mod on your car) as a
warning badge to others to back the f*ck off... i'm not stock.

LOL! Exactly! And, if you have the stickers but DONT have the mods, then THAT is RICE.
