no it means that people are gonna do what they wanna do.

and people are gonna think something is rice just because they think its the popular way to categorize an item.

Your car is rice. Because your driving a "sports car" on the street. Go buy a honda fit if you dont wanna be rice.

Absurd right? but kind of not as our car is a racing inspired car.

And im from the land of rice. Therefore i claim that my statements about rice hold true over anyone elses.

I guess my oil cooler, sways, coilovers,and other mods are rice.

so are your brakes. and that front chin spoiler. and the front air deflectors in front of the wheels.

The Roof line is rice also, they could have just made it flat.

The aluminum hood is rice also, why worry about weight.

P.S lower your rev limiter to 5k, theres no need for that peak power. its rice.

P.S there are only 2 things that are actually Rice.

That should be your signature!

I guess my definition of Rice would be something that makes your car ugly to 90% of the general population for very limited or practical use in day to day driving.

I think most of the wings that have been posted in this thread are ugly as balls and you would NEVER catch me with one on my car.

That being said, it's not my car, and I have had some people comment that having my Z murdered out makes me ghetto and poser, so to each their own.

I do think the wings are a little over the top unless you are tracking your car. If you are tracking your car then I can respect anytihng that improves performance.

Looks the same to me.

SPOHN · 08-04-2011, 11:34 AM

Everything on are cars are race inspired. Wings just happen to be in your face.

I'll tell you what's really bad is when I'm cruising at 45mph and see a car thats FI. That's rice. Actually that's sarcasm. Sorry.

Wait.... You can't tell the difference between a Honda and a z car, and you expect to be taken seriously?

:trollface:

SPOHN · 08-04-2011, 03:21 PM

^ I just hope the OP doesnt look at women tha same way.

TongMan · 08-05-2011, 12:33 AM

I guess all that is left to say is: enjoy your huge wings.

In other words when im on the street I can set the wing to 0degrees of AoA. And at the track set it to 10-15degrees of AoA... Sooo what a family can eat a whole buffet off my wing. It's my car and I have a need for the wing. Now the varis setup cracks me up with the wing on a wing... I only see Hispanics do that here in GA but with fiberglass wings... It cracks me up cause they do it on trucks and fwd cars. I once saw a fiberglass spoiler on backwards on a guys truck hood! I was like wtf!!!!

Anyways, Tongman if you have a problem with it don't do it to your car.
