Is it rice to...

[WinkOsmosis]

...put a Datsun badge on my Nissan? Datsun sounds so much cooler than Nissan, in a retro way.

 

[UglyCasanova]

That is not rice, that is ghetto. Don't do it, please.

 

[vi edit]

Not ghetto...more like...retro.

If chevy can slap the Impala nameplate on a FWD, V6 car, then I don't see any wrongdoings.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Datsun WAS the name of Nissan (and at times its passenger car division)... so I don't think it's like calling a Malibu an Impala at all.

i would call it stupid....its almost like ppl who put a upside down acura emblem on their hondas

Never seen that. That is different too. Acura is the luxury division of Honda.

who the hell cares... it's your car... if i bought a lexus gs400 i would take off the damn lexus badges and put toyota aristo... people with lexuses look down at toyotas for some stupid reason.

I look down on people with Camrys and FWD Lexuses .

 

[SOSTrooper]

KIA sounds much cooler

 

[NokiaDude]

I HATE people who put Acura stuff on their shitty 92' Hondas. Especially when the local beaners do it, and they just slap it on like a half job.

 

[BatmanNate]

It would be a good idea to keep the originals in case you ever intend to sell you car.

 

[Nessal]

Its like putting a Acura badge on a Honda....rice to me.

 

[iamwiz82]

i think its kinda funny. I'd do it. My fridge in the dorms a few years ago had a turbo badge from a Chrysler 2.2L

 

[Babbles]

Don't do it. I think Rice is basically putting anything on your car that does not change any performance or does not apply to your car.
Sure, maybe Nissan was Datsun in the past, but not your car.

Also, for kicks:

Anti Rice
Rice Boys

acura is a part of the honda family, just as datsun is nissan. OK how bout i put a Integra Type R sticker on an LS just cuz it sounds better

 

[Howard]

I suppose changing the Acura emblem to a Honda one on an Integra is rice, too?

 

[erikistired]

just chase down a datsun. my dad had one (he had to sell his golden firebird t-top when i was born and buy a toyota, then the datsun) and it was a tiny little thing but it ran forever.

A) if you have to ask it usually is

B) thjat being said, I am planning on replacing the "LE" tags on the side of my 1987 dodge aries with "5.0" tags from a mustang, its goign to be pimptabulous. Then I just need a R sticker

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

I wouldnt put a Datsun badge or sticker or anything on a Nissan car, however if i had a raced out Datsun 510 for scca (as opposed to riced out) i might put a Nissan sticker on the front spoiler.
Datsun Nissan
heh...i like the 2002s better though Go bimmer!

 

[Babbles]

Think a V-TEC sticker on my blender would make my smoothies smoothier?

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

It might! :Q

Heh... that's 200% ricer because the real rice is VTEC...

 

[prodigy]

My car is a Nissan Primera in Europe and Asia, I was thinking of badging it that way as well.

 

[Babbles]

Doh, you are right, I screwed the pooch on my spelling of it.

Sad part is, unlike 99.9999% of the rIcErS out there, I actually know what VTEC stands for.

 

[StageLeft]

In my book it's not rice.
