Choose engine mods over ricey exteriors!!
i honestly dont see what all the hype is over with these new 350Z's

[oldsnail]

its looks nice..
yeh, no mechnical changes, but not that near 300hp is little to begin with anywayz..

at least it doesnt have a big spoiler and a million stickers and banners.

Opinions seem sorta split. I was thinking the same thing as well (i.e. what defines rice?)

Like everybody else said... if you add an AC Schnitzer kit to a bimmer... is it rice? or a Hamman kit?

Does that mean selecting the AMG body mods (including the rims) without actually buying an AMG is the equivalent of going rice?

Personally, I thought going rice was adding all sorts of speakers, DVD systems, sub-woofers, and the lot to the car, while adding neon paint, and underbody lighting... maybe scissor doors, or hydros... I thought that was rice.

But if you go through the list again... he went for tauter springs, new tires, a better exhaust, and other light performance mods. Almost as if he was deliberately refusing to turbo/supercharge the engine.

And, mind you, the total cost of the mods meant for performance should cost more than the cost for the mods meant for looks. (at least it looks that way to me)

I honestly have to say that this wasn't a rice job. If he pushes further (big speakers, silly paint, etc.) then I will agree that it would be. But for now, I think this was a well thought out job, and IMO, not a rice cake.

[gottacatchup]

I say its not rice at all. He spent money on performance parts for power and handling. Just because he wanted to modify the exterior of his car doesn't make him a ricer. Ever since F&F if anyone does anything to change the looks of their car they are immidiately accused of being a ricer, Jesus people appreciate people's desire to have their own unique look for their car.

:idea: the term "riced" comes from tuned up japanese cars right?

this car was designed in california, not japan.

so IT CAN'T Be RICE!!!

I WIN! 8)


by the way, who the hell cares if its "riced" or not. I you like the car, you like it, if you don't, you don't.

Unless that body kit aids the aerodynamics of the car in any way its rice with a capital R.

[skituner]

Rice.
yes some people call this car a "sports car" but that doesnt mean you can throw a body kit and exhaust on it and it wont be rice

You are correct - it is not RICE... but rather RICE-O-RONI....

hmmm... I think you're on to something.

"I just bought an E320 Diesel... I checked off everything on the list... sat-nav, heated seats, 18" AMG rims and the AMG bodykit..."

"wait... you got an AMG kit on your diesel E?"

"Yeah! I wanted it to stand out a bit more y'know..."

"Blimey. You do know that doing that is considered sauekraut right?"
