I dunno how many times I've heard comments like this yelled at me... 2 fast 2 furious, body kits are gay, or nice fart cans. Point is most people don't know **** about cars and don't consider my car any different than the civic that just drove by with a $69 pepboys muffler on it. We all have different definitions of rice and I have mine but wont mention them bc some guys here choose to do so and that makes em happy. However I just believe that if im gonna put something on my car its gonna enhance performance in some way, except for my red gtr stop button.
This is my second "foreign car". Last car I owned was a 2007 Eclipse. Had it for about 8 months. Think I'll keep the Z much longer!
I have to say before I researched the 370Z, in my ignorance I thought the NISMO was some riced out car. After purchasing my Touring Z I can now appreciate the NISMO more, but I do see how the uninformed would think it was over the top.

the nismo is just riced out there are under 50 different parts from a sport package and you can build a better faster car than a nismo for less money.

And on another note the new way to rice out a car is to buy a dodge charger or ram and but hemi decals on it, when it only has a magnum. They are worse than the civic guys with that. Yea man it gots a HEMI... or not

This is what im talking about. Not sure how if u know cars u can call the nismo rice. I've yet to see a kit that is as clean as the nismo or that flows with the lines of the car. The amuse kit maybe but there are certain things I don't care for on it. RICE race inspired consmetic enhancements. The nismo is not that. Its all functional.

the problem is though, that the genarl "public" does not know the difference betweek a functional/ non functional cooling vent...

or that a spoiler serves function at higher speeds....

It was on the last page. Page 8. My point is I agree with you on the general public. But for a member on here who most of us who are car guys, to say the nismo is rice just blows my mind.

i have my thread setting set differently than you... for me this thread is only 4 pages, and your last comment is the middle/end of page 3.

anyway, i do not think the nismo looks riced at all. put it this way. i was at the NY auto show a couple years ago when the SuperVeloce lp670 lamborghini just came out, and a bunch of people there were calling it a RICED out lamborghini......

Nothing like an oversized Tow Hook on a 4 door civic. I mean the dam thing is so big you could use it to tow a mack truck.
