Riiiight. Because dry carbon and aerodynamics that is functional is considered rice...

Im not saying that theyre not functional or not, but when i see the car and all the added body work, all the scoops and vents and everything, it just looks rice to me. The body kit they have on it is disgusting IMO, ive seen much better kits for the Z, they might not be "aerodynamic" but they look 10x better. Id much rather have that car be a beast and have a stock look with lightweight rims, than to have so much crap added to it that it looks overdone.

^they actually care about things like aerodynamics so you can be happy all you want when they're passing you on the track. some people actually push their cars to the limits and not just cruise around town sorry.

sick trip, thanks for sharing. their exhausts have always been some of the best sounding for our cars.

Okay I get your point. Although, I must say that your opinion on looks is one thing, but using the term rice incorrectly is another. You are obviously uninformed on what the correct definition of "rice" means. Rice is when someone installs parts/modifications on their car that are not functional and typically in poor taste.

Stating that a functioning part that actually decreases lap times is ignorant and stating that about a tuner as highly respected as Amuse is outright asinine.

Bingo. It's not all about looks when you're trying to decrease lap times and go fast lol.

My pleasure. Thanks for the informative post.

So just because they have a well-known name they can put whatever the hell they want on a car and its ok because its "Amuse"? Anyways, do you have more pictures of the GT-R?

Where did I say that it is okay for any top tuner to put whatever they want on a car? I was merely pointing out the fallacy in your argument of their parts being "rice". I understand your opinion on what may look nice since everyone's taste is different, but calling something rice without evidence to support your stance is shortsighted.

Unfortunately, I do not have more pics of the GT-R since I we were busy talking so I didn't get a chance to use the camera as much as I wanted to.
