I would have to say the kit doesn't look good to me......but quit with the ricey comments! Gets to be a tad annoying.... "ricey this, ricey that" Just say you don't like it. Just because asian people have different taste. White ppl have different taste too.......i don't drive around see a truck, camaro, or mustang and automatically make a stupid judgement.......like "oh look at dat white boy and his stupid truck or junk mustang" I don't go around and be like oooo look at that white boy car......so get off of the ricey comment.....And another thing whats wrong with the carbon fiber hood???? What you gonna do, buy a carbon fiber hood and paint it..

Rice can apply to white people as well.. It's not a strictly racial term, although most people don't realize this. Ricy just means tacky and done without taste. Of course your taste may be different from mine.

I think that this kit looks good except for the rear bumper and wing. They could be toned down a bit. The wing would look better if the top part of the wing was over the bottom part, instead of being BEHIND it... Looks like it's falling off or something. The sideskirts are gorgeous.. might look good on the car by themselves and the Top Secret front diffuser.

I personally think this kit is very "loud." I like a kit that adds to the asthetics of the car--- and I think we can all agree (because we are all on this board) that the Z is a great looking car: BEFORE adding any body kit! I like to have my car look a little outside of the norm.
In response to an earlier post above: If I had a carbon fiber hood ( which I would like cuz its super light and strong) -- You can be damn sure I would paint it body color! I know its there-- I don't have to broadcast to the world that I have a CF hood.

The Esprit kit is by far the nicest looking of the kits that have been posted IMO. The wing is the first thing the wifey noticed and liked, I thought it was the weakest link but not that bad.

Default For me its between this wing and the nismo style wing

I like both, not sure which one i will go with. A wing is really the only piece i want to add to my car that alters the body. Ricey or not I like it. Once again i said ( I ) like it.

Default I like the wing

This is one of the only wings that looks aggressive and still fits the body styling, even better than the Nismo "IMO" the Nismo makes the Z @ss look stubby.

Just my opinion, some people liked the Ford Pinto too

i think the side skirts are real nice--they look almost OEM but a aggressive. the front bumber is a bit too "pointed" kinda like the veilside front. i like the short "block" look of the front of the Z like the nismo front...
