That could have been far worse. It's a GT car, not terribly out of place.

 

[syam]

so they just voided the factory warranty by replacing the wheels correct? good move DUB!

At least money buys happiness for him =]

Yeah that sucks that you can't even enjoy the car that you paid for without being harassed by those who don't own one or by the company that built the car.

Ummm...

:facepalm:

bling bling:smile:

 

[Dtrigg]

Surprised. It could have been much worse.

DUB has a crappy taste in modifying cars. Plus, they obviously don't see the true purpose of the GTR.

Laaaaame!

LoL, obviously it wasn't for the drag strip since Launch Control was an utter failure, causing parts of the car to go kaboom. Or to be driven hard as Hitler has shown us. Or to be spanking the Zr1 or Porsche TT like Nissan said it would. Well, I guess it WAS quicker and faster than the vette for a short while lol, THEN the ZR1 was released.

After blowing transmissions and requiring owners to pay for them....... maybe DUB actually saw the GTR's true purpose, boulevard cruising on 22's lol. Atleast it wouldn't cost them $20k for a new tranny!

I think the DUB GTR looks like crap. Then again, GTR ain't all that and a bag of chips either. Now the porsche on the other hand..... very nice..

No the $20K now covers the price of the new wheels and tires. Adding the difference goes to the new suspension, brakes, and anything else putting the DUBS on might break. Last I checked just changing the wheels on the GT-R void your warranty. So while the tranny is good, everything else might go poof. :wink::tongue::biggrin:

 

[KooLaid]

Atleast the tranny will survive this time lol

It's not just the GT-R. DUB does the same tasteless crap to every car they touch. I wish I knew that adding giant wheels and some small nick-nacks to any car could become a big business.

there's pictures of a bright blue one at CES floating around, with lambo doors, chrome wheels, and the full works of a "RICED" out car

Really, their is no need to scour the internet... their are plenty of gaudy examples of that right here on nsxprime.

Ok, so basically a ricer with a lot of money. Afterall, why spend $3000 to rice out a civic when you can spend $30,000 on a Skyline or NSX and know what being on the top is like. Look. Ultimately, you just have to know when to call a nut a nut.

You know the part I like: they always look down on the 16yr old F&F ricers without any money... because they "rice their street cars out the right way". Absurd A/V system, suede caddy interior, air ride suspension, perfectly fitted JDM body kits with ten thousand dollar paint jobs for the ultimate street fighter combat experience. Some even have dyno queens to set them that extra bit apart from the rest of the lowly street posers.

Truely, I believe we are in a new era.... behold the new automotive forum ruling class: the Super Elite Ricer.

Putting a wing on a GT-R isn't really "rice" since it could actually be functional. But other things may make it look rice. It doesn't take away the fact that GT-R is pure testosterone.

I found that most people really don't know how you define a car as "rice". Car nuts will tell you what rice is but an average Joe will just look like an idiot.

Some people call my car rice, and I guess it is rice, because it's a stock looking but lowered Teg with a top-notch suspension, some moderate internal motor work and no interior. What do i know... :redface:

 

[fourringpilot]

The car already weighs 40 tons. What is a few pounds of extra wheel weight gonna hurt? :wink:

The car reminds me of the Bentley GT w/ the big wheels. If I was going to be a pimp, then that would be the car for me.

Functional? For what? Putting business cards on? $100 says that car has never even seen the inside of a race track at so much as a DE lapping day.

I found that most people really don't know how you define a car as "rice".

My uncle Ben taught me how to know for sure.... just look at the tires and brake pads. When their are $15,000 in stereo and aero modifications and it still has the original backing plate on the brake pads.... bingo!

Car nuts will tell you what rice is but an average Joe will just look like an idiot.

True, but average joe will also worship you while he does it; far more entertaining.

Ever watch the red carpet awards - worst dressed? You see these people in these completely ridiculous gaudy outfits that showed up at a red carpet event of all places, and even the press photographers are floored like WTF???

Well, crusin' the strip in a riced-out car is just like that, and similarly no one cares how much you spent to do it either.
