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

 

it does not match the silver car, it might look OK on on black MIGHT, but i like the nismo kit

 

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.

 

Wow...this car is the definition of rice!

 

I think the lip is hot..

 

ScottC, whats yer defintion of rice...sounds to me apparently any cosmetic mod is rice in your book, am i correct in assuming this?

 

MATIX..your inbox is full! I'm trying to find out where you got your TOYO's from,..I'm gonna get those instead!!! THANX

COLLIN

 

Pretty much.

 

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 ****

 

ticketed

 

So if any cosmetic mods are rice, i suppose rims are rice along with tinting your windows according to your way of thinking.

 

Come on dude. Look at your car and the one at the beginning of this post. There is an obvious difference and you know it. I have no idea why you are defending this crap that someone placed all over a Z, it looks like ***. While tinting the windows and SOME rims dont (sometimes there is a fine line). This is going to be my last post in defence of my opinion of this phenomenon know as rice. I THINK you might understand it.

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

 

I have that kit...on silver by the way. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.....just think its funny how some people call functional parts...rice?? I dont see any washer nozzles on the C-west 350z do you???? I guess people that dont understand something...(jdm).....will never understand it.... Fine by me(grinning)!!!

 

Not too bad...my friend has it on his car, the lip kit looks bigger in person.

 

Ummm ScottC......i believe ur deff of rice is an oxymoron...or whatever!! You say ignore the namebrand stuff....hmmmmm????? I agree w/ ya...now where can i get an apc muffler, some fireflys and a toucan shift ****. Last time i checked pep boys doesnt stock c-west, tein, volk. You say off color??? Umm its carbon fiber and people do it for style...just like gunmetal, gold rims. You have tunnel vision....i may not like dubs but i dont flame it!

 

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.

 

love this kit.. well except the front lip.. i went with the TS diffuser for added stability on in the front at high speeds..

 

Properly executed aerodynamic change can reduce drag. There is a phenomenon called boundary layer separation, that the air flow do not follow the contour of the body and create a low pressure behind, creating a large drag force. One example is a smooth golf ball without any dimple cannot go as far as a regular dimpled golf ball. The dimples on the surface induced turblent flow and eliminate boundary layer separation. Similarly a short vertical vane or a small lip type structure in the back can induce turbulent flow and reduce drag.

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)

 

i love that cf lip kit....thats what i plan on getting...cwest is in the top 3 of best aero companys...and im sure itll look good in real pics....those pics look kinda fake and weird in a way...**** the haters!

 

Hey....u have the prodrive gc05.....nice choice!! Any chance i can get a side pic of your car....im considering getting those!!!! I also love the ssr comp type-c rs....hard to find imo.

Nice ride
