Not rice but if you're looking for some, go with a jigsaw paint scheme.

Not rice but I'm personally not a fan of the INGS front, I like the sides and rear though.

I personally define rice as something that serves no other purpose than to make the car 'look' faster, without actually making the car any faster.

So in that case, unless either of these kits have a measurable amount of usable downforce added to your car that outweighs the added weight and drag (no), then yes, they are both RICE!! :P



Out of the 2 I like the 2nd one though.

I bought my z with the 1st body kit already on it. i like it, it looks sharp, but the streets in louisiana tore up the front bumper and side skirts and drifting has taken it's minor toll on the rest. i have small cracks under the headlights and a rather large crack on the rear bumper, im switching kits eventually, just not until i get the performance work i want done 1st

Just don't buy them from AIT unless you want poorly fitting junk that'll take a lot of work to make fit right. Buy the VIS replicas.

Not rice...if the stance is right, fitment is good, and you got the wheels to match.

what does your roads have to do with spacers? You need them bcs your big *** body kit just swallowed your wheels up. They look so tiny with such a big kit, so least you can do is push em out a little. If you have such crappy roads then you shouldnt have bought a bodykit.

and the real question is, why would you need a bodykit with stock wheels?

if you had read the quote properly I said I don't need a drop not spacers because of my **** *** road and driveways that I cant even get into most of the time. and the answer to your "real" question is I like my stock wheels... why would I spend 4-5 grand when I like the wheels that came with my car?? I think most of the aftermarket rims are not as nice I bought the bodykit because the paint on my front bumper was cracking and had a million rock chips and I like the ings skirts also so I put them on, I was simply stating that I already drive like a granny with the kit on and a drop would make it way worse.

fair enough. I like those stock rims as well, my favorite out of all the oem but spending $200 for maybe all four spacers will enhance the look. a simple 15mm spacer all around will make your car look 2x better

it will make a huge difference. Theres a reason why Stance and offsets are so talked about on this site. I suggest going with 20mm rear and 15mm front for a flush look.

Get em and you'll thank me later
