Are you kidding! It looks stuck on, out of place with the rest of the car. I dont think it was designed at all to match with the Z?! I mean, hows it any different from one you'd slap on a Civic?! lol wheres the Z design cues?! Rice does'nt automatically mean "cool" to me

Perfect example of a shopping cart wing. Or as my dad calls them, "a ****!"

If it was at *least* the same color as the base car, or somethin that compliments it but...eww...I dont see how that wing would reduce drag either..?!!

That wing CREATES drag. No wing reduces drag.

i hope you know what you're saying.

a properly placed wing WILL reduce overall drag.

C-West is far from rice, their designs are based on their aerokits from their JGTC cars, and while that wing isnt my cup of tea, it is functional...besides, ive noticed you call everything rice, whether it is or not

Departing traffic be advised, extreme WAKE turbulance!!!!

Also, a properly placed wing "does not" reduce drag!! Actually, it creates more drag! The purpose of a wing to to create negative lift (downforce) over the rear wheels, to increase traction. So while a "properly" (and aerodynamically functional) placed wing WILL increase downforce=rear traction, it ALSO increases drag!! In most racing application, the benefits of the traction outweigh the extra drag.

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.
