I agree with your last post. You can think what you want. Give a good reason for it not that its rice. Our cars look the same how can it be rice is all im saying. It may be wrong, maybe you dont like it because your hardcore n/a, it may fool some people, but what does rice have to do with it. Maybe you ment poser, you dont like posers. Its not an N/a with a huge wing or TII Badges. I have seen some fast *** cars with tII hoods that have no function in the world, but the owners like the way it makes their cars look. ( More aggressive)

N/A People can decide for them selves what to do to their cars, other wise all the cars would look like yours. (Thats no fun... not that your car isnt sweet) Just as you believe so strongly its others right to believe perhaps stronger than you that its ok. But those hoods look cool, gotta give me that one.
But good luck in your quest to rid the world of evil hood swappers. (J/K) We are all in the same world after all, A world of fast 7's, Blunts, bitches and the sweet rotory engine. Well not in that order but you get the idea.

Yo,


I hear ya man, I need to chill. Tilting at the TII hood windmill is one of my pet peeves.

I think it's time to...




And what's with that NA drag car having a TII hood?!

Ricer!!

A carbed N/A earns a TII hood. I won't claim rice or otherwise, just stating that a carbed set-up may gain from the TII hood.

I would say that it is not rice for a TII to have an N/a hood if they get a FMIC since they are removing a non functioning part that now is not being used by the TMIC.

I am new to this forum and I like it, this bashing is pointless. YOUR CAR IS RICE IF YOU BOUGHT YOUR MODS AT MURRYS, TRACK AUTO OR SOME OTHER AUTO PARTS STORE. WHY, BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THEY SELL ARE POINTLESS STICKERS, COLORED WIPERS, GAY COLORED INDICATOR BULBS AND THOSE STUPID THINGS THAT GO ON YOUR SEAT BELT. Putting a T2 hood on a N/a is called PERPETRATING!

This is just pothetic, i read maybe two pages of this crap then came right to the end to write this....this is the most childish thread ever....i mean, WHO CARES!?!? Sure I think riced out cars look retarded and I hate most of the kids who drive them, but why do you care? Let them have their fun...you think that those kids actually think their body kit is helping the car go faster? Or that the spoiler on the back is for downforce on their FWD car? NO! They think it looks good, and thats their own damn opinion. Unless you would be perfectly happy driving a car with all the interior and engine parts of a TII, but having the car be a 1960's rusted *** car, you need to shut up, because looks mean SOMETHING at least to you when you looked for a car....just because someone likes looks over performance doesn't make them a bad person....what the hell do you care? If you think they are idiots, let them go be ******* idiots, your ******* ignorant and you have some problems if you go around pointing out everything you dont like you insecure bastards.....let them do what the hell they want and as long as they dont bother you, what the **** do you give two ***** about? Jesus, everyone needs to just shut up, because even if i agree with you that something looks like **** or not, obviously the person driving it is happy, and why the **** are you going to try and take that away from everyone? For ***** sake just shut up allready. The End......

Ocelot- Ricers don't leave you alone. They go around with their loud exhausts swering on the street as if that majically makes you want to race them. I have had three civics almost hit my FC because of their stupid actions. Ricers don't do anything but cause trouble.

Maybe you're the ricer! Oh, and btw, a TII hood does have a function on an N/A, so your above statement didn't do much good

Yep, it does serve a function...it fools people into thinking you have a TII!!

My thread will never die. Too controversial. Rice too amorphous to define.

Shine on you crazy diamond!

Well, it could be considered rice cause it's not what it is but still it's a RX-7 hood and it looks good. Would the scoop serve any purpose like cooling maybe? If it would serve any function at all we could consider it NOT rice.

it vents heat from the engine bay, doesn't suck air in to cool it.

Yo,


Whatever questionable venting functionality of a TII hood on an NA will not outweigh the damage done to the reputation of the TII when you get stomped by that SRT-4.

Just say No to biting TII's style...but not their speed.
