well,.I hear ya!! But look @ this and tell me you don't like how this looks--its the RED 350Z w/ the C-WEST kit fromt lip still CF but the rest is painted!! I was gonna do that but kit is a little too high$$$ right now!!! W/ so many people gettin the NISMO I might keep that for a while and still do this--the front lip is kinds on the Shovel lookin side,..but man,..if that damn car pulled up in your rearview or besid you!! You would ****!!! I know I would!!
<-----Mr. Fairlady ***** his pants when he sees Super tight cars!!hahahah

That is bad *** to me,..and for some reason the wing kinda completes the package,.. although..you would damn sure not see me riding down the road in a street car w/ that big bastard on!
Thats IMO

Soooo funny that you start with the "hope you know what you're saying" line. Love the emphasis on "WILL". The irony kills me.
Just another example of someone who has no idea what they're talking about regurgitating some factoid that an equally clueless person told them.
I've heard a LOT of rice guys claim that those huge wings REDUCE drag.
I would love to be shown an aerodynamic analysis of how this works.
WashUJon and MaxTR are right on.

All of you people calling this "rice" are dumbasses. It may look like **** but it does help the car. I dont like it. I dont understand why C-West would even sell it. I dont think anyone in the US is going to buy it. If they do they should die. Functional or not it looks like ****

Someday all you "ricers" will look at pictures and think: damn why the hell did I do that to my car?? Sia-narra.

You are correct. I call alot of things rice. If the hat fits wear it! This (and other crap) I see posted on this site sickens me. I am embarrassed that Z owners are even thinking about putting huge fins on the rear of such a wonderful automobile. It sickens me that one would put an off color (or any color for that matter) ground effect on an already low and sporty car. My definition of rice may differ than yours - but you have to admit that this example is super rice. Ignore the brand name and take a long look at what they are putting out on the market! I dont care if it is made by Nissan, if it looks rice like...its ricey. Conclusion: most exterior mods are rice. Thank you for allowing my rant.

Although, I don't really like the look of the C-West lip kit when it's not painted (it acutally looks nice when painted), it is a fully functional kit. The kit was designed and test on the track in Japan.
Regarding the term "rice." I think it should be only used when you slap on useless parts, like Stillen kits, Kamnair kits, or when you use knock off like, ING copies, Nismo copies, AXIS, ADR....etc
Functional parts should never called rice.

However, in race vehicles, wings are usually used to generate downforce for higher cornering speed. And they do increase the overall drag. So, depending on the course layout race engineer has to select the poper combination so that the cars can take advantage of the higher cornering speed while not losing the staright line speed.
At highway speed addition of any wing or body kit has negligible effect on the aerodynamic drag. But it sure can increase downforce a little bit by adding weight to the rear. (cinder blocks in the back is probably more effective in this sense)
