Do you think this is rice?!
Real nice 350Z
...because if it is, then serve me one, Yang Chow fried rice style! :lying:
(I suggest you view it all, up to the last page, and see how he went from stock to full bodykit)

Its a tossup... because this car comes with some power and handling ability... and has been modded. However, after reading through this short mod list, it seems that almost evey mod is aesthetic... so Im going to have to say that it is rice... All show, no go:

Tanabe GF210 Springs
HKS CF Titanium Single Exhaust System ------------>(a couple hp... give or take (see below))
Custom 3inch Y-Pipe ---------------------------------->(+5hp... assuming the engine doesnt rely on back pressure from the exhaust... in which case, it would lose hp.)
Mines Test Pipes -------------------------------------->(+5hp... i guess)
AEM CAI ---------------------------------------------->(+5hp maybe?)
Nismo Titanium shiftknob
Nismo Floormats
Nismo Oil Cap

Definitely NOT rice. He has personalized it with the Nismo items, I would not call those mods. The exhaust does more than add power, it reduces weight. He has a nice balance of power and style. How much more power do you want from a reliable 3.5?

obviously he has gone for the showroom clean sleak look .. rather then the RICER WING AND HONDA LOOK...
i wouldnt call it rice.. i would call it well portioned external modifcations with out any extreme rubbish...
its like lowering a and putting a kit on a audi A4.. is that rice also ... it already goes.. no need for more.. same with the 350z...

eh, it's kind of hard for me to talk shit about my beloved Zs...but the oil and radiator cap kinda make it smell like a rice paddy. The Fairlady Z badge is a cool addition but i don't think i would have added it until the car was done (mechanical upgrades) for all i know its a work in progress 8)
after working in a shop which the owner had a '00 Civic Si that was constantly @ SEMA (if anyone has gone in the past 2 or 3 years, it was the Gold Civic with the Carbon Fiber hood. Usually Versus Motorsport stickers on the windshield. Last year it was a graphics co. that was stuck to the side of the car. www.haskellauto.com i think has a pic of it.) I know these show cars are never finished. after each show they get new shit done to them, so it'l be back next year in a different form 8)

Well, I think the definition is a bit vague tho...
Do u think a AC body kit on a BMW is rice??....it's all the same.....as long as it is not "overly" done....
To me, that is some taseful body mods and some very light but functional performance mods and also the car has some performance to back those up. Not rice if u ask me. But if I were to have the same amount of money, maybe I will ditch those oil caps, badges ... for a nice set of coilovers.
