i got this off a thread on the rx7 forum., i think it looks really nice

 

Man, I'm sorry but I can't see the pic.

 

hmm, it loaded before, oh well here it is

 

That looks very nice, i wish they would look like that out of the showroom

 

thats what i was thinking..and that would almost eliminate the rice factor totally

 

Wow. I think that looks horrid.

 

Looking at the picture, I thought that WAS the rice facter

 

really??, i actually thought it looked nice....much beefier then the stock version

 

ill take three

 

To me it looks a little ricey but to each his own.

 

yuk. totally overdone.

PS - I've never seen *any* bodykit for *any* car that looks better than stock imo. I like the looks of a clean stock body car with a nice set of +1 sized alloy wheels.

 

hmm...what do I comment on? the lousy photoshop job, or the horriddness of that "kit"?

 

This is all a matter of taste and opinion, IMO it looks real nice and there's nothing on that picture that makes it "ricey" the only thing that comes close to it is that wing, which dosen't look too bad. If the car came out like that out of the showroom it would be a 100% purchase for me, its not rice, rice= ridiculous sized wing that hurts car's performance, stickers advertising mods you *don't* have, annoying and huge coffe canned mufflers, horridious paint jobs with weird writings, neon lights, altezza lights, huge wheels that hurt 1/4 times, fake cross drilled rotors, fake badges, springs being cut to make car lower, fake gauges that don't do anything, turbo hoods on n/a cars, and i could go on forever.....a rice car is a wanna-be good performing with "mods" that hurt the car....I've seen many FD's with body kits does that make them "rice"? even if they run 9's?

Here's an FD with a "body kit", this car runs 9's but that dosen't matter since it has a "body kit" its just another ricer

 

I'm gonna have to go with Johny on the definition of rice, IMO the car looks good stock, but like this it looks way better!!

 

My goodness-

I think that kind of kit on an RX-8 would make it a little impractical and a little silly looking- but perhaps that's just me...


And hello, to anyone that cares- I've been lurking for a while but was to chicken to post anything!

 

looks like crap.. says 'pay attention to me.. my mommy never did'

 

too ricey......why butcher a beautiful thing..

 

I want to second KrisA, word for word.

IMO, if I wanted a spoiler like that, I'd buy a plane.

There's a lot more to be said to having a bigger bite than bark.

 

i am not here to start a flame war, so to be modest, i like to have my rx8 in its original, simple, clean beautiful form
connie

 

ohh well, i still like it :D

 

Yeah me too, do you have a link to that Rx7forum thread about this rx-8 with that kit?

 

That's funny, because I was thinking "pass the soy sauce". :D I see a big honkin' wing and a highly stylized air dam, and I think "rice". Sorry.

What is ricey about the RX-8 at the auto shows that there is a "rice factor" to be eliminated?

No thanks to this stuff or anything like it coming standard. This car needs to target the masses, not the performance freaks. Of course if you want this stuff on your car, there is always the aftermarket.

 

i think that it gives the rx8 a nice aggressive stance, something that the imports need. 99% of imports dont look mean at all, mostly because they arent..but the rx8 on the other hand is going to be an extremly mean car..and i think that it should be shown

 

you can always get firebird

BWA-Hahahaaahaahaaa!! >Coke spurting out of nose<
