So it's not rice if it costs a lot?

It's heavy and looks pretty awkward. If this were on a HONDA, you would be calling this rice.

 

No, because it's tasteless and non-functional. The queer neons don't help either.

 

LMAO... just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's not ricey. I mean look, he still got STOCK wheels. I don't understand how anyone would have the audacity to put wheels before some gaudy body lit.

 

Evo is definitely not rice by performance, but stock clear tails, huge wing, hood vents, and "downforce fins" scream rice whenever I see them or STI's.

 

But I bet vented hoods look good on Z's to you.

LMAO@downforce fins... try vortex generators. They actually work, BTW therefore un-ricing them. Along with the very functional wing and very functional hood vent.

I do agree about the tails, but doesn't the JDM Z come with them too?

 

look at the Nismo Z.

drag and everything about spoilers i read is hard to get to work realisticly because wind tunnels are so expensive to get.
any aftermarket spoiler I bet is just for looks unless its from APR maybe or something.

I bought a kit before wheels and I was still getting completments, invite to car club, etc.

but Mods > Stock.
Id rather look different than look like the grandparents in their Z down the road.

 

Body kit before wheels=Honda level rice.

I'm sure Nissan/Nismo has the funds to test the parts.

 

I am getting so sick of the Honda = rice argument. I realize that Civics fall victim to ricers more than any other car, but that's not the fault of the car! Honda makes good vehicles and just like any other, can be made to look very good if modded tastefully.

Big deal. That just means there are more people out there with the same taste as you. That doesn't mean it's "good" or "bas", it just is.

Come on, if you start using the "well, other people seem to like it" argument, then we know you REALLY have nothing to stand on.

 

It's an easy reference and people will get it. I know damn well Hondas can be modded and very unricey, but it is the absolutely most riced car in the history of riced cars.

 

You'll get no argument from me on that one. Sad but true...

 

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

 

If you all remember the Datsuns Z's, they were considered to be in competition with other muscle cars. They are the muscle cars of the Japanese. Even Jeremy Clarkson in his test drive of the Nissan 350 Zed referred to the Z as not a sport car, but a muscle car.

 

No it's not! I can't hear you... LAA LAA LAA LAA.

 

I don't really know why theres so much hate on ricers. I personally like riced up cars, Mostly in import tuner magazines or modified magazines i think people see the pinnacle of these " rice rockets " and thats what others hold to be the stereotypical ricer. I think they're frikin sexy IMHO. And i would put z in the rice catagory. Rice Rockets don't have to be slow.

 

Youre telling me to read up on it? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Believe it or not I know the Veilside kit is expensive...whoopdee****indoo it's still ugly and hello the neons?

 

+10000
I had a body kit for a week, and had to take it off. The Z looks so much better in stock form. I just had to learn the hard way and spend over $3500 for kit and paint. Body kits = drag and that is no good. Save all that money for engine mods or put it in your mutual funds or some other thing. Body kits make you drive like a girl on the street, cuz your always worried about scraping or breaking someting.

I want you to join me and others, to keep the car looking stock to help out the younger crowd to not rice thier cars.
Bothers and sisters this is the only way to fight this evil that is comming (rice of the Z)
Can I get an Amen!

 

AMEN!!!!!!!!

Stock 350Z's with modded engine = sleeper

 

My twin brother is planning to do a V8 conversion to his Ford Focus ZX3, going to be a total sleeper.

 

06/07 stock rims are hawt.
