I like it, but that car needs a body kit before doing that... so it's
a little ricy to me.

I vote for dig-'em!
As for "Rice" or not "Rice", I gave up that kind of nationalistic bashing/thinking when I bought a British car designed by Germans and with an engine from the Americas.
All cars are now muts, and ain't it cool.

Your exhaust is whats ugly.... you melt anything else yet?
But seriously..... that fender thing is hideous.

it would look nicer if they got rid of the factory side vents and turn signals!

I prefer function over looks....
I could care less if you even like my car. I built it for me
and for the record.... no melted parts

It's just another place you have to dig the dirt out of.
If it's to your liking that's great, but I'm not going there.

It reminds me of a '69 Firebird... I don't hate it, but I probably wouldn't put it on my car either.

Personally, I think the vents look *hot*. Along, with my other mods (splitter, diffuser, wing) this fits my style. Can you provide a link &/or order information for the manufacturer in Japan? "Rice" (or whatever, because these vents are found on several factory European makes) might not be some of y'all's style but this fits the look of my car. IMHO.

I actually emailed them a while ago....they are functional, the holes go all the way through, and have grills in them. Vents in that position are meant to release air pressure from the wheel wells.
