Other than the wing, I think it's not bad! As for the brakes, as many testers have noted, it's much needed.

However, I'd really like to know what tuning they did.

Upgraded brakes and suspension isn't a performance upgrade?

I really don't think I will ever care if they have forced induction. I think this is cool, but I hate most body kits.

So what level of performance would the car need to have to not be qualified as rice? a 250HP FRS could put hurt on a 350z and challenge a 370z on the track. so would a bump in 50 HP do it for you? In that case, my car should be fine for this body kit and not "ricey"

BTW, this isn't "rice." Making a car look better without adding speed does not equate to "rice." Never has, never will.

People don't understand the difference, do they?
