Maxes gettin' Ricey?
Seems that I now see quite a few more Maximas with the big fart exhausts an big aluminum wings. Is the Max getting as ricey as those Civics? I hope not. I bought ti b/c it was a sleeper at the time and less commonly modded than a Honda (just to use as an example). What do you guys think?

Nah, it really depends on the person modding it and the setup they use. A lot of people on here dont want a loud exhaust setup. Some ask specifically what mods will keep it quiete. Plus for every modded max on this forum there are about 100 stock ones out there.

Theres nothing wrong with being ricey. The civic is probably the car that boosted the whole import scene so theres nothing wrong about that. Let the max be ricey so it can get the respect it deserves.

Performance auto enthusiasts, sheer affordability and an abundance of performance upgrades boosted the civic in the import scene. Poseurs (now termed "Ricers") ruined it.

That doesn't mean all average rice-minded HS-aged morons want them!!! They can afford old GMC Jimmys too, but they don't want them. Most of them still want Civcs and Accords. Onlt the elite few like Maxima. 
Some of my peers think I'm dumb, some have envy. Nah who am I kiddin', they all have envy.

I don't think Maximas are getting ricey. I like that they are coming out with more and more mods for the Max. However aluminum wings would be stupid on the Max. There are none where I live.

Saw them with my own two eyes and damn me for not having my digicam with me. Saw Altezzas on a 3 series and some clear white tails on a Benz, forget what model.

the sleeper factor of the max is the best part.. go out with 4 of your friends and still beast every civic on the street.. as my friend george once said "hah.. stupid *** integra thought he could try somethin.. he's all the way back there in his light *** car bouncing around and we're sipping tea in this luxurious maxima. turn on your hazards already."

Maximas are such sleepers, such underdogs. Every single time someone gets into my car who isn't formally familiar with the Maxima, and I am sure with all of you, they are completely impressed with every aspect from sound system to ride quality, it's street abilities, and all it's sexy ways.

I agree, Maximas are very fast even at stock, lame Civics are not... Thats what makes Maximas special, they are quality cars... I think the only way Maximas would get "ricey", if people only mod the Exaust alone. I think quiet exaust makes the car more of a sleeper, Exaust should only be modded if you have a boost, like a SC, Turbo, or Nitrous.

So most of us agree that Maxima + Aluminum wing = Ugly ricey Maxima.
I really do like the sleeper effect. I get more than enough attention on my crotch rocket so I like not being challenged at every red light with the opportunity to drive "spirited" at my leisure. Maybe I'm getting too old???...

I don't think that wings or altezzas make the car look ricey if you know how to match the colors. I think dark maximas with carbon fiber or gunmetal altezza look cool. And the max from The Fast and the Furious movie has a big *** wing. I still don't think that car looks ricey. I think ricey would be big *** wing with altezzas and everything else stock. That would make the car look ricey. But every one has a different opinion.

Re: Re: yeah i guess my car is rice
What is this rice crap you all talking about. I like white rice with beef and broccoli some of my peers prefer pork fried rice. What does my maxima with altezz, aluminum wing, stickers, lights, fart exhaust, have to do with my chinese food order.
