i have green neons in my ac vents.. i paid just a lil bit for the neons and tore my dash apart.. i think it looks amazing but as for under the car i agree totally.. but like everyone else had said its your money and it what you want to do to your car.

^ I agree
CF looks good on certain parts.
I have always been a fan of Lambo doors..sorry guys...it's not like I want to drive 25 mph with the doors up on the boardwalk

Have your car tastefully done..well, it's up to the individual. But I do understand that we're on a forum and many have their own opinions. I respect that..but don't bash someone for parts you don't agree with..we're still part of the Z family

..except for the 350z dude with the blower

My definition of "Rice" is as follows:

Any modification done to a car that dominates the asthetics of the car and does not contribute to the overall beauty of the car as a whole. If you notice the wheels/wing or other modification before you recognize the type of car, it's riced.

Tow hook. Is that rice because I'm thinking about doing it?

Kinds pointless, but easy to do

As far as it being rice................................

maybe to some!

no for automatic antenna

or 5 ft antenna. I saw an old dude driving a 350Z in bay area, CA last month with this gizmo.

If it makes you happy then do it.....but be smart about it.

Things I would never do:

-Any body kit.
-Stickers - if it isn't a race car, they don't belong on there
-Z3 fenders
-Those Autozone vented fender stick on things
-For that matter, anything you can buy at Autozone in the "performance" section
-Have an unmatching set of rims, excluding a spare tire
-Half assing work
-Unpainted body kits (if I put one on)
-COMPROMISING SAFETY FOR ANYTHING (This just had me scratching my head in wonder. My old EP3, people would put carbon fiber doors on them.....which took out any structural reinforcement. Get t-boned? Guess what, YOU'RE SCREWED!)
-Neon

Oh man those videos are funny.

That comedian was funny. I hate people who think because they have a coffee can exhaust that some how makes their car super fast. If you wanna have it on your car so be it. But don't pull up to me in your civic and try to race me. I still get people trying to run me in their eco box with the fart cans. Race someone with the same set up. They tried when I had my mustang, my corvette, my challenger and now my nismo. They're not just crusing by reving their engines they like to follow for quite a while to make you run them. Dumbazzes. The blue 350z def ghetto pimped. The g30 something is not ricer, it's stock with nothing on it. The dude is just a bull sheeter. The term ricer the way it's used I don't think it's racist when used on say that red mustang with the gtr sticker but when used to refer to japanese products def racist. Man I hope people don't think my Z is pimped w a fart can cuz I just did a muffler delete and to the trained ear sounds nice but to a joe schmoe what if they think it's riced out

If the car is yours u should feel free to do whatever it is u want to do to it. If u like spinners, add spinners if it'll make u happy. Others might laugh at you, but if it's ur thing then do ur thing. Too many haters out there that try to put others down.

Suggestion though: The more OEM ur car looks, the cleaner and nicer it'll be. Don't just "mod" something on ur car because it's available. If ur going to "mod" something it's because u really want ur car to look that way and/or perform that way for you.
