Obviously I wouldnt mind seeing that on the street because I KNOW that is its a track car. If I see a car that I KNOW is not going to be on the track with these kinds of kits and wings I would be disgusted. Could just be me though

 

But how do you know when one is gona be on the track or not? When an s is kind of a track car expecialy the cr. But civics are another story.

 

I understand what your saying. Although realistically speaking most S2000 owners do not track their cars. Alot of people do dont get me wrong. But everytime ive been to the track ive never seen any s2k with a kit like the ones ive seen. Which leads me to believe they buy it for aesthetics. Hopefully someone with one of these kits can chime into this thread so I can help grasp this concept. Im sure those 3-4 grand or whatever they costs can be better spentfor brakes, tires, and suspension that would 3 times as much as an aero kit will.

 

I'm with qbmurderer13 on this one.

 

Your right i belive more ppl do it for asthetics but an s is more of a track car than a civic so to me i guess it dosent seem so ricey. Dont get me wrong some ppl go to far but a functional spoiler or scoop isnt to bad most of the kits arent to bad but then their are some crazy ones out their.

Kind of like with that db-9 if i knew a guy that had one like that but didnt run it on the track i wouldn't think he just got a dumb riced out db-9 but rather cool he got a track model db-9.


When the cost of the kit is less than the car its less rice lol or when the kit dosent bounce every time you hit a dip in the road beacuse its so cheap. ( those last statements were a bit counter intuitive lol.

 

my definition of "rice" is the civics and preludes and accords that have 19 different colors othe car not including primer and the double wing on the back with stickers used so they dont have to paint one body panel and the windows are tinted in some color like red or bright blue and 3 different rims with a non-functional folgers can sticking out the back that sounds like my gas chain saw. we've all seen them and all had a good laugh too. to the op, i dont think those cars are rice bc they took the time and money to do it right, not just slap shit together and good to go. at least they have a so called scheme to the whole car.

 

The cars that you posted have aerodynamic kits which are functional. Which means they actually do the job at the track aerodynamically speaking. It may look a bit hideous or overwhelming to some people but these parts are track proven. They are rather expensive as well, due to the fact that they are initially made in Japan. I undertsand that we hardly see these cars on the track because people usually buy these kits just for car shows and such. Regardless, it's their own choice. I do understand your opinion though
I'm not the type to flame on people regarding their preference on how they mod their cars because everyone has different taste when it comes on modding

That was my homies orange amuse s2000 you posted by the way. great build IMO

Sorry for the long reply

 

Lol, I agree with everyone here. The Civic was designed to be an economy car, not a track beast; I find all body kits on a 'vic to be ricey.

Maybe it's because they were made in much smaller numbers, but I see a lot less riced out ludes.

 

And thats what I dont understand...

 

im kinda willing to bet that some of the ppl that put these kits on and dont track the car dont really have a clue about the aerodynamics of the kit. But still in my eyes its not rice just a track car.
