Nah, Not rice, But the Stickers. I know this is gonna come up. Love the front end, w/ the intercooler. pretty sick. Is on of the pictures photoshopped? w/ a different front bumper, the s14 looks better plus so sides. but the S13 looks like a sports car regardless.

Thanks guys I appreciate the suggestions!! FYI the wing is from a skyline so you're not aloud to not like it ; )

BTW: The other photos are from a few months ago before the new coilovers and bumper.

Ditch the stickers and you're 110% NICE. With them, you're about 85%.

I can understand the stickers if you're sponsored, but if you're not you just paid to advertise for someone. Other than the stickers, I dont really see anything wrong with it, I mean you dont have any fake badges, which is always a turnoff for me. I'd say nice =)

Judging from your location I am not surprized you don't know what you are doing. Anyways. I honestly think it's distastfully done.

Bomex Front=Could you get anymore mainstream "jdmtyte" ugly front bumper only popular because it's well known and "JDM" and easy to get.

Signal sticker=Oh wow signal eh!? I see that on 87 honda accords!

wheels=17x7 45 offset sunk like a battle ship

ugh i could go on for awhile

i actually like his taste.. its a not rice at all in my eyes. i really like the vinyl and stickers its not too much, too many stickers kill cars, you have the right amount and placed them where they look the best. good job, makes me miss my s13 more.

i'm with nitekids, too much battleship action with the wheels or at least get something with a slight lip on them. those are the worst wheels for any car, and every car you see is rolling on them or a knockoff of them.

vinyl has got to go.

other than those things it's not too bad.

I like it except for the decal on the headlight (and the fact that there's no NICO/240sx.org representation!)

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

I never like to bash anyones car, however you asked if it was rice or not... I think it is "ricey" but not "rice" if you understand what I'm trying to say.

Personally I would ditch the wing, body kit, stripes and stickers and then you would be looking non ricey IMO

It's just my opinion and what I like, however it is your car so do whatever you like, it's all YOU........... who cares what anybody thinks man

Yeah ditch the ricer wheels and wing stripes etc.. Not a big fan of the clear turn signals and the 5" monser tach either.. I think its tad rice but thats just me. And also you shouldnt care what I or anyone thinks. If you like it do it, If I wanted my car neon brown with a 18" wing on the roof then I'd do it, but again thats just me. It does look kinda cool in its own way though :)

I like it!

The wing/stickers/wheels/ don't bother me much either.

It does need Nico stickers on the sider quarter windows though.;)

Not rice but I don´t like the wing and all those stickers (i know 10hp each one).

Get 17" and you´re done.

if they are sponsors cool, if not take the darn stickers off :(

and if htey are sponsors, the headlight cover aint a good spot, it just doesnt flow. try your rear side windows (the triangle shaped ones) stickers look pretty good there. The wing, really I dont mind it, its not a flamboyant double decker aluminum one, it looks ok to me. The front bumper is a lil gaudy for my taste, but then again I personally like the almost stock look, but its not too bad. Your car is tasteful, I just dont think the stickers are necesarry :P
