CF License plate considered "RICE"??!

shoopajae10 · 04-21-2010, 12:18 PM

Ok, just the other day I had purchased a CF license plate holder for the rear because I didnt like the look of my License plate just stuck on the rear without a holder.

my friend and I had a huge debate as to this being rice or not.

Its just a simple, CF Plate with no "LEDs" around them or with any underglow kit or doesnt say anything on it like "FAST N FURIOUS". I will post pics once I receive them! =)

He insisted that it was rice and that certain things arent meant to be cf.

Well that I agree "certain things arent meant to be cf" but he himself has a 350z that has a CF Nismo overlay sticker that goes on his B Pillar. !@!#$#@

UGH!! Just venting.

What do you guys think?

Modshack · 04-21-2010, 12:27 PM

Rice! (your buddy too)

batman_4 · 04-21-2010, 12:36 PM

i don't think its rice, unless you claim to shave weight which is BS.

if it had like hello kitty decals then it will not be rice... just something else.

zmyride · 04-21-2010, 01:52 PM

actually i like the rear license plate without the holder. NOT rice!

CWofRR · 04-21-2010, 01:53 PM

i agree with batman haha

Liquid_G · 04-21-2010, 02:11 PM

both sounds ricetastic to me.. why not just buy the Z plate frame

InTheZone · 04-21-2010, 02:17 PM

no it wouldn't be rice, as long as it was a real CF frame, no stickers or prints on it. But I'd get the tinted plate cover instead.

shoopajae10 · 04-21-2010, 02:26 PM

i thought about the z plate too but i just wanted something simple with no decals.. and i came across the cf plate. looked simple.

The thing is though, it's a good looking weight saver, so not everything is about making your car lighter when using it. As long as using CF isn't overdone on a car(like fake CF overlay on the hood or rooftop), far from rice.
