WT does it MATTER IF ITS RICE? IT MIGHT EB RICE TO YOU BUT NOT TO JOE SMOE OVER THERE. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT, "DOES HE LIKE DRIVING IN HIS CAR?".

I think it's alot nicer than half the rides on the board. As far as stickers, it's just like everything else It's not and all or nothing. That's like saying every honda is rice (I know alot of them are) or that everyone that has bought a 240sx in the last couple of months is "jumping on the band wagon". You like'm keep'em

Come on guys how many times do I have to spell it out for you? S K Y L I N E wing; you just cant hate on that G. Seriously though I always value suggestions from nico. The vinyl isnt through sponsors but after having the car conservative for sooo long I decided a little "Act A Foo!" wouldn't be too far out of line.

P.S. NiteKids man you should post your car, just for some pointers on how to build an s13 the right way :rolleyes

My taste: 16 wheels, no stickers, no body kit, and stock wing (if, at all).But your car is black, and I have a thing for black cars. Especially 240's... :D And it doesn't look too bad.

NiteKids, why don't you post up a pic of your ride?

Damn.

Very sweet. Try to be a little nicer when you offer up your opinion of someone else's car.

Especially if yours is SO damn sweet.... Nice ride.

p.s. Any way to lose the lettering on the intercooler? I think the FMIC would look better if it were flat black....

Nice car, both of you. I think they both look good. NiteKid, I decided to read some more of your threads because of the harshness you have shown here in this thread. You seem to be very critical of people based on their location, cali and the west coast are not the only place to tune cars. Also, it is obvious you have a good amount of $ to sink into your car and yes it is nice but don't put down others for their different style preferences(after all isn't that what modifying cars is about?).

Shift_O, car looks pretty good too me. I personally really like the spoiler and staying w/Nissan was a good move. Even though I am not big on the vinyl I think that is the a nice place to put it.

Haha in the back of my head I gotta admit I was hoping nightkids would have like a trash-can-esque s12, but I still have to agree with a few others when they say to each his own. Sure if I had enough money I'd own the rotora 180sx but im a 17 year old janitor with a mop in hand and a bucket o' dreams. Plus most of the stuff you see on the exterior of my car i've acquired through convenience, not because it's always been my dream to have bland wheels, etc.

Yeah I like it, but would remove the stickers if it were my car. That doesn't mean I think you should. Because in the end, it's your car you drive it not me or anyone else at NICO. Have fun and keep that bucket full of dreams.

if that was my car i wouldve deffinitley done it differently.

get new wheels, (i hate thoes 7 spoke alloy 30 pounders, see them everywhere) or at the very least get some spacers. they are indeed battleship sunk.

i like the front bumper pretty good. but it looks like crap without sideskirts imho. Finish up the body kit with the matching pieces and it would be much better.

ditch ALL of the stickers PLEASE. ESPECIALLY that super nasty silver stripe business.

either get amber turn signals, or clear side markers. if it was me i would replace thoes clear turn signals with the 2 color japanese ones.

trash the wing, it sucks. go wingless, unless you have enough cash, get a wangan wing.

and, of course, type x tails :D

edit - oh yea, put the stock emblems back on

chmercer, I gotta say man I agree with a lot that you're saying but let me explain a little..... the wheels are from my friend's stolen integra - $300.00 with tires, The front bumper was free on the account of a friend crashing my car (side skirts are coming this summer), When i bought my car it had no sidemarkers in front so when my front clip came I stole those, and lastly come on man SKYLINE wing... I gots to roll with that.

WHeels: No. Those are bad. But then again, I like old school stuff, so my opnion is skewed.

Spoiler: Type X 0wnsj00. Very nice.

Latex: I like the ones one the quarter glass, and I really like the Signal one on the headlight cover, but the big gray ones are a little much IMHO.

Over all, a nice car.

Oh yeah, neon brown! Of course there would be liberal use of tuck-and-roll sparkle brown vinyl on the seats and door panels.:pface

Really, I dont like those wheels on 240's. Its not just the look, its the wheels themself, they are heavy knock offs of knock offs of knock offs. Stickers are always tacky.

Other than that i think your car rocks, good color, i like the body work and its turbo, so yeah. :thumbup

I agree - If everyone's 240 looked the same, then someone would have to do something different to stand out or be individual.

I think the Skyline wing and the silver vinyl is clean looking.Especially impressive considering it's being built on a strict and limited budget. Don't be hatin.... you know the rest. :)

The turbo helps too - gotta be able to back up the appearance!

Yah if you I-wanna-rebel-against-everything-even-a-rebellion type people want to parade about in threads telling people that call things rice that its now cliche want to do that, fine. But the damn kid asked if we thought it was rice, thats his own words.

Rice is all opinion... take your stock 240sx and ask an ignorant mustang owner if your car is rice, I bet you can't guess what the answer will be

Exactly my point 89240sx, one man's rice car is another man's conservative car. It's all objective. There are a few people here that think anything other than a stock bodied s13 with a blacktop and full race suspension is unnecessary... others think that audio should come first etc. etc. I knew this when I made the poll and thats why I find it interesting given the mixed crowd on Nico.
