I mean, by the time your using the functionality of the parts your already breaking every law LOL.

I know I sound old but I'm not, and I do drive hard on the street, just not stupid. Anyway - I'm not driving around Miss Daisy, I just dont like BIG functional kits on the street...

The Nismo one is OK. Anything more than that I think is to much. Simple diffusers/accents, and subtle lines is and will always be 'IN'.
Air on the street will move exactly the same way around your car as it will on the track. People walking on the sidewalks will have no effect on the air traveling over your car. Being around other cars will have the same effect on aero that it does on the track when you are in traffic. If you are referring to when you are in heavy traffic then you aren't able to use your power or handling mods either so they are all rice? Its up to you whether you like a certain style or not and nobody is trying to change your mind, but to call someone out and say that their mods are "rice" when they are indeed functional is kinda stupid in my opinion. Just because you don't like the style of functional aero doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done.

And as far as today's styling trends always being "in". People said the same thing about mini trucks in 1993.
