CF License plate considered "RICE"??!
 

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?

yes its rice.

Rice! (your buddy too)

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

do his carbon fiber vinyls add 20 hp per pillar??

lol nahh i just like the look of it. thats all.

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

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

i agree with batman haha

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

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.

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.

rice.. CF=meant for less weight, cept your friend is MORE rice so he should GTFO!

^^ he is a member of the my350z site. so it should be fine =/

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.

If you like it then go for it... Everyone is going to have their own opinion...

well i like it. thats why i ordered it! =)

Of course its not for performance. lol taking a lisence plate as a performance mod is silly. especially thinking your going to save weight by getting it as CF.

Its just a simple CF look that looks nice than a plain plastic one with decals or logos on it.

:tup:

i want one too but can't justify paying $70 for the one i want just yet.

rice

wow $70!?! thats crazy.

How about when he buys a 370 he can decide how it will look.

Potatoes.

CF is pretty strong too, don't forget. It isn't always chosen for just the weight savings.

Also a lot of the "stainless" license plate frames rust after a year of use, so you would be avoiding that as well.

Brown rice is healthier.

Can stainless steel rust? Why? (I thought stainless did not rust!)
Answer: Stainless does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. If you see red rust it is probably due to some iron particles that have contaminated the surface of the stainless steel and it is these iron particles that are rusting. Look at the source of the rusting and see if you can remove it from the surface. If the iron is embedded in the surface, you can try a solution of 10% nitric and 2% hydrofluoric acid at room temperature or slightly heated. Wash area well with lots and lots of water after use. Commercially available "pickling paste" can also be used.

Come on, this is not a Honda Forum! :rolleyes:

not sure if you're joking or not, but lower grades of stainless steel, probably what's used in license plate frames, can rust.

yup. rice

I like most of the carbon fiber made stuffs, yet, CF license plate just seems too much or too cheesy to me :)

might be rice but I AM wondering how it would look

OH yeah the "tuning" community here thinks cars like these are not rice

lol tuners and ricers nothing alike. Ricers can apply to domestic cars as well, such as:

the stang and those 2 cars above, just ugly ha(not talking about the R8)

as long as its real carbon then not really man... if its that fake printed on carbon.. then yes.... its your car do what you want man... i ordered carbon fiber side mirror covers..... some people will think its rice... but i dont care... its an accent piece in my opinion..... and its REAL carbon not a sticker or that printed on type... :tup:

rice rice rice. If it's Japanese, I hate to tell you guys, it's rice. A lotta haters out there :ugh2:
