A coworker of mine just traded in his V6 Mustang... trust me, they can be completely riced out. Complete with the chrome rear lights. I hate those IMHO, worst mistake Subaru did with the STI, but thats for another day.
Long story short, I've gotten nothing but compliments on my Z's. A few here and there that'll weave between traffic to get a glimpse of the car and/or who is driving it and then rev and move on. This car does earn a lot of respect from people of all ages. At a stop light and older guy put down his window in his minivan and began to look over my car and then compliment it and talk about how he used to have a few older Datsuns.
I would almost go as far as saying this "rice" usually kept to front wheel drive cars, but perhaps I'm just bias towards RWD and AWD. Kinda sad when a RWD car is "riced" out.
