alright Joey, here's the deal. if you do this car, you must promise me you will NOT rice it up. this is a DRIFT/JDM car, not a rice machine. you MUST NOT put Altezza's or clear tail lights on it. you MUST NOT put decals from any rice companys on it. you MUST NOT use a massivley oversized exhaust. you MUST NOT create a wildy flamboyant and ugly body kit for it. if you do this kit, do it right or don't do it at all. take for example your 300ZX. that's a beautiful performance machine, built to go fast. what did you do to yours? well let's see...huge body kit, check. clear tail-lights, check. cut off hatch, check. audio system, check. it looks fine for what you intended it to be, but that car and the S13 were NOT made to be turned into show cars. they were made to be driven, so PLEASE, for the love of god, don't rice this one up, ok?

sorry for the long post. i just love S13's (as you can tell by the name) and to see one (even a model car of one) desecrated would probably bring me to tears.

It is up to supratuner what he wants to do with the kit.

I agree. I've never seen a ricer S13, let's keep it that way. I'm curently working on a Tamiya S13 and it's a great kit so far, I intend to keep the body stock with a modest size exaust, some 18's and maybe a drop. This car looks best when it's been slightly modified I.M.O. If you do this car, at least do it the way it was meant to look like, you would'nt build a pink Ferarri now would you??? Either way... I don't care, it's your car after all.

rice companies (in my opinion anyways) are the companies that make all the fart cans, ugly body kits, ugly wheels, NOS kits, crappy aluminum wings etc. for Honda's. a couple of examples would be APC, Black Widow, Erebuni, Wings West etc.

I hope my S13 Advan will be the RICE you been talking about. It has 18in rims, wide body kit with a huge GT wing, plus a Advan design around the whole car.
