offset to the hood bump is uber jdm yo, not to mention it accentuates his gangster lean nicely

It might create a bit of drag and lower your mileage, but it also might actually help create a boundary layer and actually improve aerodynamic efficiency - I don't think that would be the case, though I suppose it really depends on the particular car and bike rack combo.
Slow down there Serious Sam

I really hope they don't use it for downforce lol. Doin it wrong

And that was experience from a guy with a subaru wrx. Again, if you don't use it, why bother? And why do you guys still hate me? I'm hardly on here anyways lol.

How about cammo duct tape racing stripes on a honda civic.

doesn't even line up the two pieces in each strip to blend together.

and the stripes are straight from the bumper, across the slats of the grill, and on the back trunk/bumper, so the person wasn't even drunk when he did it, it was planned and someone spent some time trying to make it look "nice".....

^ one thing I noticed are the rear stock wheels. Looks like the front wheels on the left was a loaner from the one on the right.

Yes... these are nice cars. That said, there is no reason to be street racing with cars like that on a public road when there are plenty of other cars around. I'd rather see shitty appearance mods than someone screw up while driving a nicely built car.
