I like this, it looks good and clean, except for the unnecessary fake hood pins. what do y'all think?

[Loser47]

^ im trying to get an idea of what i want to do to mine

[2000zx2chik]

OMG i sware i've seen that car before, where is it located.. and yes that is ricey, well the interior , being the valure (sp) is anyways..

Oh and the CF wing.. add a CF hood and keep the wing or get rid of the CF wing.. IMHO.

(yea i know its not your car im just saying though)

[Apex]

Looks like a clean install, but its still a little ricey for my taste..Why is the car pitched forward like that? Hydraulics?

[krux]

Clean the interior up and take the hood scoop out and I wouldn't mind it. Its actually pretty clean for the most part. Everyone has different taste so I have a hard time calling one rice now vs one not. Some domestic cars are riced out now days so its hard to say.

[Loser47]

yeah i was talking about the exterior, the interior is um, tasteful.
and i don't know where the car is; i was looking up some stuff on the internet and saw it

[2000zx2chik]

Okay well in that case yes I have seen the car in person.. and I will be the first to tell you... It is ricey.

[Loser47]

i do love the paint tho

[Loser47]

and get rid of the stupid racing seats, its an escort, not a race car

[2000zx2chik]

I cant say that I dont like the racing seats.. Chris has them on his car adn they look good, with a WW body kit and the seats IMHO it wouldnt look all that bad..

[Loser47]

maybe if they were black:shrug:

[Buster]

Good:

Paint color
Headlights are clear


Bad:
Fish body kit
Park bench on back
Euro blinkers on sides
Hoodpins (probably fake)
Interior
Seats
Wheels too big/rubber bands for tires


Verdict : Steaming red pile of rice. Save it or crush it.

[Loser47]

i kinda liked the car at first glance, but pointing out stuff like the side blinkers, i dunno now. that color with an invader kit and a smaller wing would look nice, maybe some different rims

[Buster]

Hey, at least it still has both wipers. :D

It could be worse...not much though!

[Loser47]

i'll buy it and take one wiper off and put some hubcap spinners on it. then i'll put a literal park bench on the back.

Not much difference between the 2 cars huh..

that is hilarious

[2000ZxT]

Is that an STI spoiler on a zx2?

It looks awful on the STI, why attempt to put it on a rounded car?

Anyways, it's rice. Especially because the hood is down which means its probably pretty lame down there. You see way to many riced out zx2s that don't even have keman mod these days...

[Loser47]

no, its an impreza

[WildBuzz]

no, its an impreza

All WRX's/STI's are Impreza's. He's talking about the first photo of this thread

[blue_2001]

i'd drive it jus have to swap the interior

i agree except for the rims, the only reason he would choose such big rims is for all show. i'd like to know how u guys can tell if the hood pins are fake or not by telling from the photo. he prob uses them because of the fiberglass hood and not wanting to take a chance on it coming up and smacking his windshield.

Tht happened to my ex and I .. Almost put me into labor!

But yea I was kinda puzzled on how to tell if it was fake..

oh ok, and about the hood pins, they just dont seem right on a zx2(that doesnt mean theyre fake)

[droptoutzx2]

yes the hood pins are real i have the same hood and you have to use hood pins weither you want to or not you have to

[AZN_ZX2]

I like the sunroof

[random_hero]

Its an eurbruni spoiler, not a sti spoiler.

[NytoCaliZ]

to each his own. it dosent look bad at all. Not everyone has the same taste or idea of what looks good. its all about being unique.. If you havent noticed there arent a thousand body kits for the ZX2, so to each his own.

[Buster]

Ricers - they just want to be unique, so they order the kit that their buddy has so they don't look "stock". :D

[TranceZ]

Hood scoop needs to go, and the interior is a little much but thats my opinion.

[Zx2 Frost]

its a actual hood not scoop.

[NOBOTTLENOBOOST]

its a actual hood not scoop.


Always gotta be so technical. Its still a fuckin scoop!

[Buster]

No, it's a hood with a hole.

[ilarson007]

I don't really like the hood/body kit combo.. the kit is a little flashy, and clashes with the hood.

[droptoutzx2]

it just depends on the person i like the look of the car minus the wing, it seems like the people that hate it dont have body kits anyways, just depends on someones style

[CBZx2]

I dont like the wing or interior, kinda up in the air on the hood, the rest is fine though haha

[zxtwou2]

i don't like the catfish kit...but it could be worse. i don't like the wing...but it could be a LOT worse.

i don't see what's wrong with hood pins on a fiberglass hood (af/x hood)...my carbon fiber hood...even with the rubber stoppers all the way up and the latch secured well...would flop around so bad, the resin ended up cracking a TON. hood pins aren't rice on a light hood like that. i have them on my stock hood...why?...because i have a c/f hood i have on when i'm not racing, and it's easier to just swap them over and leave my latch out of the car (threw it away some time ago).

also..try driving my car in autoX...ask ryan. i NEED racing seats bad. it's on my list of things to get...not for looks, but because i seriously need lateral support.

[ilarson007]

Ok, here's what I would change if I got it: Get the WW body kit, keep the wing, get an OEM or invader style CF hood, and a stock upholstered interior (keep the seats). Oh, and do a complete turbo build ;).

[1981gMachine]

Hood pins IMO are not ricey IF, you have a fiberglass hood of any sort. Know a lot of guys who's hoods have flown up at high speeds.

[droptoutzx2]

example why hoodpins should be used on fiberglass hoods, his had the latch but it doesnt line up like stock

heres a video to explain the hood incident

rice

[SHORTY]

Kinda rice diff hood and i would drive it.

[dareall]

the part that makes the car so "ricey" is the blue material used to cover the interior. :rice smiley:

[kln5014]

rice. WW and celica spoiler would make it sexy thou
