the "fender vents" are everywhere!! They sell plastic stick ons at autozone and pep-boys has flat "bubble" vinyl versions. The fender vents come standard on some sort of Buick, but every f'n 300, Charger, and Magnum I see has em stuck on lately. wtf.

They must have used them in a music video or something. Or maybe Travis Barker said they were cool; people like Travis Barker

Dude, didnt you know... "They add speed to there cars, those closed off vents actually permit air to osmosisly penetrate thru the sheet metal fenders......." Uh...yeah....Ive seen them on a couple of Escalades at my shop, worst one so far being a 91 Geo metro, complimented with 12 in gold chrome 72 spoke rims, and a god awful home roll on paint job, (only in L.A.)

yeah, i've seen those vents on galants, caddies, (mostly big bodies)

Here are a few from today:

This is a Honda hatchback i saw for sale, not terrible rice but bad enough, hence the Acura symbol on the hood...





And this was a Hummer H2 i saw at a 7-11, maybe you guys can make heads or tails out of what this means...



And finally, this isnt really rice at all, but i found it rather to be pure hotness, this Prius pulls up next to me and I look at the rims, and their the OEM tC rims... Look for yourself.. Not bad eh?

the oem tc rims are hot! i wanted to throw a set on my xB but they're 5 bolt =(((((((((((

so many people put acura motors into their civics and they really do fly. assuming that dude has an acura motor in his civic, that's a car i'd respect.

to me, rice is when they have all the "show" items for racing - wings, stickers, crazy crap like that. if you have ever been in an acura powered hatch, you'd know how intoxicating the pull is on it...

in 1999, i used to own a 320+ horse '86 monte carlo... i never used to race but i would play around and nail it @ the light for a second or 2. the only car that ever beat me at the light was a civic hatch with an acura motor....

yeah, they're that fast. nothing compared to turbo cars but still - fast as hell normally aspired.

im done.

The tC rims don't look that out of place on the Prius...

Yes the "Lord" has blessed you with the tool to destroy his creation and run over any of his creatures (including us) that happen to get in the way. Way to go God
