Here's the carbon wing I was thinking about. I like it because it doesn't have the area between the struts "blocked" in like the Nismo and JDM wings. Does anyone know if it has the same profile than the other two?

What does everyone else think?

I'm really getting excited because I'm finally getting all of the loose ends and ideas put together. Everyone elses Z is making me crazy, wanting to get mine into the race.
Thanks Lance, just wasn't sure.

well .... if you have to ask ..... you already know the answer.
Yes, it is rice, but expensive rice that may get you attention. Is that what you are looking for?
You are not likely to be using this wing for it's possible benfit (downforce, i guess??) so just get it if you like it.
It's rice, no way around it. But if you like it, then it really doesn't matter.

'Rice' is relative to the audience. To most enthusiasts rice is identified by the following:
Absurdly large wing
Garish, over-the-top graphics
Altezza tail lights
Oversized exhausts on underpowered vehicles
Unpainted body kit parts mounted on the car
Type R badges on non-Type R vehicles
However, a non-enthusiast friend of mine who does not care about cars outside of getting from point A to point B believes that "if you put significant mods into a Japanses car you are a ricer." Although to him the word is not necessarily derogatory it just identifies a subculture of people.
