the 1st IMO is border line... but with the right stance and wheels it could be pulled off. the 2nd is simple and clean, not one i would buy but i wouldnt call the 2nd rice at all.

Im not going to Body kit route for awhile... cuz IMO with the kit comes alot of maintance whether its keeping it clean or fixing cracked lips. plus i think kit shoul.d be last thing on mod list. gotta have that stance and wheels right first. so i have a ways to go.

Most body kits are rice. Chicago streets destroy them so quickly they actually reduce your average speed significantly. "Speed bumps" become "Stop bumps" in this town. I had to pass on 2 350ZRs because they had goofy body components that I refused to be seen with. Fortunately I found one that wasn't bastardized.

i think those two are pretty clean.

I don't think all body kits are rice... certain ones yes! overly aggressive or strait up poser ones.

Exactly.. if its gunna be a Daily driver. id think twice abt it unless you got money for the maintance for up keep plus it could drop resale value.

I think body kits in general are rice. Just totally unnecessary on a car that looks so good stock IMO

I think rice vs not really goes like this- with the kit on, are you packing TT under the hood? If not, then rice; if so, then who cares what the cars in your rearview think?

LOL at the terrible responses.

Kits aren't rice but I'm not sure about the quality of that vendor. Stay off ebay for aero kits brocifer.
