Import trends....???

[SLOWR/T]

I have a couple to add.

The strange ass head liner and door panels. Whats up with that?
Bike racks when the owner doesn't ride a bike or even own one for that matter.

headliner i think its cool, looks alot cleaner depends on what design they go for

im with you on that bikerack shit. i've seen alot of cars on this site with it, and not being used for shit.

Don't forget about all the tow hooks.

The hood propping thing is dumb, it can actually raise underhood temps.

I can explain the tow hooks. Thats for when a domestic whoops that ass. Makes it easier to bring the new car home...

[EL42]

WOW!The only thing I learned from this is,I got to get me some tow hooks. LOL
Couldn't reach the front stock ones if I wanted to.

[UpSideDownDesi]

Does someone have a picture of this tag on the dash thing? It's not ringing any bells for me. You mean some people mount a license plate to the top of their dashboard? Weird.

But yeah, I definitely agree with the general sentiment on the other aforementioned fads.

this is what i meant by tag on dash...very clean car, but tag's just out of place.

most hondas maybe... but not ALL imports...

About the tag thing,my dad had his tag stolen off his truck. And it was just a regular GA.tag. So I can imagine someone would unscrew a "trendy" tag off a car as well. But if it's a show car,then it looks kinda bad if it's on the dash

tow hooks help tow a car when it's too low to the ground to pull it from the rad support.

i have no problems with anyone having a tow hook.

[quickdodge®]

I have never understood the tag thing, I saw it in the lowrider scene though first so who knows,

Not just lowriders, but many people. Putting tags on your dash has been around for a LONG time.

why does a street car need a tow hook, usually mounted in a bad spot anyway

Like on the BACK of a FRONT wheel drive car. Later, QD.

[DeeAOne]

my japanese tag is on my bumper.. im not rice am i? lol

[ash7]

yeah, well...

don't worry DeeAOne, you can hang out with me in the Rice Corner with my hood spacing.

thats if he decides not to flip his new piece

[Total_Blender]

hood pop is old muscle car thing,u know a free small cowl,just like removing the rubber off the back off the hood........just trying to get the hot air out and cool in.
.

Because 1 or 2 degrees of underhood temp makes a lot of difference on a 100hp econobox.

[GTScoob]

Whats with this whole turbo awd trend? everybody should get an evo, skyline, rdx, ms6, S4 quattro, etc and hop on.

Get yourself a speedwagon and defy the trends. Try and do something different with your car. I'm not too big of a fan of all the graffiti art going on in the honda and vw scenes but I like the uniqueness of it.

And lol and the guy in the civic with all of the ricer mods mentioned in this thread trying to defend it. You're just following all the trends, same wheels and spoiler as every other EG hatch.

www.trunkmonkey.com subaru owners keep their stuffed animals inside the car.

[ATL_EG]

Well, I use to drive a tow truck. and when a car are lowerd so low, those tow hooks are what saved the front and rear bumpers from being damaged... It was much easier to hook right up to those insted of the factory locations... jmo...

wow, that would have saved many a front bumper, i actually may look into one just cuz my car gets towed more than driven

[RL...]

And what's with all these losers putting money into cars and wasting their apparently useless time! I mean seriously, why would you want to make your car faster or look better. They are just to get you from A to B!

[Starrfire]

Aww man, I followed the h2b trend(If that is possible) and as a result, apparently followed another trend, popping the hood(my intake manifold and entire valve cover and oil cap are taller than the fenders. don't really care for the tow hooks, or even care about the little goofy stuffed animals or weird license plate locations.

[eraser4g63]

How about the stupid asses that Zip Tie body kits on and then Primer the cars half ass. And assume they are hard core Drift kitties.

if u got a h2b then you aren't doing anything wrong. I was just ranting about people who don't have them and still prop their hoods up.

[C-loS109]

this is the way i see it.
-if u dont like drift charms, dont hang any.
-if u dont like spacers on your hood make sure u dont do it on your car
-if u dont like tow hooks that are placed in the wrong spot. dont do it.
-if u dont like jap tag on their dash. its simple dont do it.
-if u dont like "frooty colors" on your wheels or body panels. dont paint them.
-if u dont like any of those things make sure they arent on YOUR vehicle, and stop caring for those who do. u didnt buy the car. u arent driving the car. u dont have anything to do with the car. yes some dont make sense, and make u want to hit yourself in the face but like i said, just simply turn around and dont give 2 shits about it.

Ok, let me clear this up for the idiots who think hood spacing reduces underhood temps.

Do you know how cowl induction works? The base of the windshield is a negative pressure zone, air is actually rotating under the windshield wipers TOWARDS the back of the hood. On a cowl induction car, say..... and old muscle car, this is ducted to the intake runners/carb horns/air filter/throttle bodies/ whatever. They stopped doing this because people were complaining of a "suction"sound at the base of their windshields.

Fastforward to someone with a hood lifted in the back, with no ducting. The air rushing in from behind (not hot air rushing out like people keep saying) creates back pressure in the engine bay, this higher pressure area reduces the airflow through the radiator, thus, heating the engine's coolant, and heating the engine. This is why auto manufacturers install weather stripping at the cowl IN THE FIRST PLACE, and the same goes for underbody splash guards also reducing the air pressure in the engine bay. So all you retards to lift the back of the hood, congrats on making your car run hotter without any aerodynamic knowledge.

Please spread this information on so people will stop doing it.

If anyone wants proof, find a temp gauge that reads digitally for exact purposes, then do a control test at monitoring the temps for a 5 minute drive at a constant speed and see which runs cooler.

[Elbow]

LOL exactly. Anyone ever wondered why race cars don't have hood props? lol. Especially endurance race cars? hmmmmmm..........

LOL @ the bike rack thing that's STUPID AS FUCK. If you don't ride on a regular basis, take that ricey shit off. I can't believe some people thing the tag in the window is acceptable, it's 100% rice. A tag on the front bumper looks hella better I think then looking white trash with it in your window lol...

The tow hooks everyone uses are usually to pull a RACE CAR out of a tire wall or tow it behind a truck back to the pits, or obviously use it to load it on a trailer if it's bad. Plus like I said most use straps now anyway. It's the new cool, ricers should pick up on that soon.

Bumping because more people need to read what I wrote.

I guess they should drift every turn to get a pass

[UpSideDownDesi]

don't u know.... amount of zip ties = amount of times they have crashed. Zip ties all over the place, means beginner. No ties, swizz knife precision.
