OH NO, here we go into another rice/non-ricer thread.

Yes, its function is to make the car look bad.

Like all our cars we put heavy influence into handling and braking. The car will be powered with a Greddy Turbo kit because it is simply, the best solution.
More details to come soon.

I doubt the Veilside kit will give the circut more "hell" then somthing a little less ugly I donno maybe autoexe, mazdaspeed, or carismas.
If you still want it too look extreme then how bout Fujitas, or dare I say NRF's

Wow, this "wing is rice" argument could go on forever. Wake up guys, these OEM spoilers we have, the "Euro" spoiler you have, the other subtle aftermarket spoilers you have DOESN'T HAVE FUNCTION AT ALL. Those GT wings, if placed inside aerodynamics testing chambers, will show wind travel and perhaps some possible downforce. I don't know where this GT wing is rice attitude came from, but real race cars put them on for a reason. Just look at those all-time winning Porches in every high-speed race category...they all have GT Wings. Gosh, they must be rice too! No, let's call it Kraut!
If car + wing is rice, then the only RX-8s that aren't rice will be the ones without spoilers at all.

the GT wings became rice when people started slapping them on their Aleros and Chevy Malibus and Honda Civics which top out on speed well before their effectiveness kicks in
they could use a GT wing that is more substantial like the Porshe's Carrera GT wing...looks good but functional...this looks like a G-damn Erector set...cheap and flimsy
but 'Give the Circuit Hell?' what Circuit...car show circuit? the Gumball Rally never go to far over the speed limit because of Pepsi insurance circuit?
if it is going on the track great...but that spoiler isn't going to do anything for a car that is loaded down with 120lbs of decals anyway

Don't like the decals and all that ish, but it's a company car what can you expect?
Paint scheme is pretty sick, I like the blue and grey.
The wheels are out of this world sick, the deepest wheels I've seen.
I would prefer a cleaner Mazdaspeed body kit, minus the hideous tail, just leave it off.
Going turbo is a great idea, though the shortcomings in the GReddy's kit as far as horsepower, don't excite me.
Yet besides all of this, can't wait to see the finished product. My first reaction when I saw it was "sick". After further review it has sick components but needs to be thought over a little bit. I wouldn't go with that car exactly.

my definition of rice is any appearance mod that takes a car with nice clean lines and makes it look worse........................this applies to this car.
btw, pepsi is crap :D

People should stop posting if they have nothing positive to say and do nothing but fill the post with useless banter. I may not like the VS kit but it appeals to me because Vivid race their cars. So whatever appearance modifications they have, it is outweighed by the fact they build track cars therefore, making it sexy to me.

People have just as much right to pan something than they do to praise it. That's what makes this forum interesting...the difference of opinions. If they get out of hand..that's what the mods are for......except Abbid. I'm not sure what he does???? 
:D

[QUOTE=kromix]yea wataf, use the Auto Bahn Kit!!! I guess most 'extreme' kit is best for a show car? Cause thats hideous, it would look soo much better w/ a auto-bahn kit...
now thats sexy...

Not really, your Auto-bahn kit is boring compared to theirs.
I think it's perfect for their purpose, they want to be all bling bling! They are not trying to build a sleeper!

My comments are in true with the purpuse of the car....There are nicer body kits and wings that flow better with the lines of the car....this kit destroys the lines IMO.

Not a big fan of this kit, but I think in that case they want to make one of a kind car for pepsi and moving away from the stock shape is serving that purpose.

it is great to see people getting offended about a car that isn't theirs and represents a huge corporation
have an opinion on it is great...trying to defend it like it is your child, is just pathetic
I thought I was joking about Veilside looking like tupperwear but after looking at the pics I saw a label that says 'safe for microwave use' so anyone want leftovers? :D
