    Default Question about Hatch

    Ok, so im a die hard DSM driver, but i had a question...

    What is up with the holes on the back bumper of so many Hatches? it drives me crazy. Some times they're a single peice of metal, sometimes just cut outs.

    is it some sort of suspension thing? or maybe trying to lighten the car?

    So it does absolutely nothing? at all?....wtf?

    thats pretty homosexual if you ask me.

    Its the third most common rice piece on a honda.

    1) 12 foot wing
    2) Altezza taillights
    3) here on out known as "the dots" unless they have another name.

    For most people they just do it to do it. It looks stupid on most cars. Then there are the people that have a fully built car that do it. It causes less wind resistance coming from up under the car...
    Back to being stock and slow

    it was intended to let under tow air out from under the car to decrease drag as with canards,air diverters ect.. and a wings actually supposed to create downforce for traction and to help in turns like thats why nas car totally went with the ricer set ups now.lol.
